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.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: , the manifold and operator conventions of Wavefront and positive-frequency Hadamard data, Hadamard bisolutions , and .
Assume only Countable Choice for the wavefront pullback and product estimates (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()).
A Hadamard bisolution has , with future-null first covector and its negative transported second covector; transpose exchanges this set with the past-frequency relation (Wavefront and positive-frequency Hadamard data).
For distributions, , , and an empty wavefront set is equivalent to smoothness (Wavefront sets are invariant under smooth coordinate changes).
Hadamard contractions on the stated compactly supported polynomial microcausal class are defined coefficientwise and preserve that class; the conormal product and pullback rules they use are proved in Product and pullback under wavefront transversality (Hadamard contractions preserve microcausal polynomial functionals).
On , the regular polynomial contraction product for an arbitrary bidistribution is associative (Regular Wick-star contractions are well defined and associative). Its interface is restricted to smooth compact coefficient kernels.
On the same regular polynomial class, for symmetric continuous , is finite and satisfies (Regular normal-ordering change is an exact star isomorphism). Its identity is the finite contraction/binomial formula; the local proof below checks that formula on distributional microcausal coefficients.
The actual two-original-vertex matchings with singular cross edges and smooth self/cross edges satisfy simultaneous and every intermediate transversality condition. Their canonical products, compact integrations, slot permutations and finite derivatives commute in the stated sense. This does not assert a singular self-contraction . Canonical compatibility of microcausal cross contractions and smooth self contractions
Proof
Given: [A1] and [F1]–[F6].
Define , where ; its first covectors are past-directed. Put . The common antisymmetric part gives , so is symmetric. By [F1]–[F2], . Symmetry also gives . A nonzero null covector cannot be both future and past, so and . By [F2], is smooth.
By [F3], is defined on the class and preserves microcausality. On a polynomial of degree , for , so and are finite sums. The coefficient of in either composition is multiplied by , which is zero for and one for . Hence .
On the regular polynomial subspace of a Euclidean chart, [F4]–[F5] fix the contraction ordering and the factor . For the general class, label the two functional arguments by and define by multiplying their first derivative distributions by and integrating the contracted pair with . Let and contract two derivative slots within the first and second arguments using the same density. The finite Leibniz expansion of the second derivative gives where is pointwise multiplication. The factor consists of the two cross terms, equal because is symmetric. Every term is defined by [F3] and is the canonical labelled matching of [F6]. Its two smooth cross terms are equal by the proved slot-permutation rule and symmetry of , without extending the regular coefficient-kernel topology to singular inputs.
Expand each coefficient into its original and kernel slots. Every edge joins the first original block to the second; every additional edge from , or is smooth. Each derivative slot is removed at most once. Hence [F6] proves the full matching and every intermediate product/pushforward are admissible and independent of edge order. Finite Leibniz and permutation identities count exactly the same labelled matchings in either order. Thus these operators commute on the coefficient expressions used here, and the binomial exponential law is a finite polynomial identity in commuting degree-lowering operations. It makes no assertion about a singular on one microcausal functional. Finite polynomial degree makes every coefficient sum finite. Thus . Here by bilinearity and . These are coefficientwise identities of finite sums, not analytic convergence claims. Together with step 1.2 this proves the stated intertwiner and bijectivity.
