How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
Exact charged scattering Wronskian flux identity
Statement
Let be any scattering solution as defined on the fixed subextremal electric RN exterior, with real , real , unit incoming amplitude, and reflection and transmission coefficients . Then its radial Wronskian flux is constant and Consequently, if and , the reflected radial flux magnitude exceeds the incident radial flux magnitude, since their ratio is . This is conditional on an admitted scattering solution and does not assert its existence, a complex-frequency mode, or a nonlinear instability.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: The charged radial scattering definition, a smooth solution of its radial equation, and its stated incoming, reflected, and ingoing-horizon asymptotics.
Massless charged-scalar radial scattering data: tends to at the outer root and to at spatial infinity; the asymptotics are with the differentiated phase form at infinity and at the horizon, where .
Charged radial equation on subextremal electric RN: with real for every .
, , , and , so and both and are real.
Proof
Differentiate . The radial equation gives because both terms inside the last imaginary part are real by [F2]. Thus is constant along the exterior.
At infinity, . Substitution of the Definition's differentiated asymptotics into gives : the incident and reflected diagonal terms are and , while the two cross terms have real sum. At the horizon the asymptotics give . Equating these limits by step 1.1 and dividing by proves the identity. If then ; when the identity yields . The unit incoming and reflected asymptotic flux magnitudes are and , so the stated radial-flux comparison follows.
Remarks
The flux here is the conserved radial Wronskian flux of the separated classical test-field equation. The identity is a linear fixed-background scattering calculation. It gives no conclusion about field backreaction, quantum pair production, trapping, exponential growth, or nonlinear stability.
