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 canonical and grand ideal-gas preparations

Physical scope

Finite-N canonical sectors of a classical ideal gas of one operationally indistinguishable species on a bounded rectangular box, their grand-canonical sum including N=0, and a separately adopted three-dimensional classical H=c|p| branch; the Lebesgue product and polar calculations assume ACω; excludes quantum statistics, actual equilibration, and identifying the massless branch with m->0.

Statement

Assume ACω as defined in The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω), for the Euclidean Lebesgue product and polar-coordinate suppliers used below. Let exp⁡(x):=∑n=0∞xn/n! be the real exponential of The real exponential function and the number e by a power series, and let log⁡ be the natural logarithm of The natural logarithm as the inverse of the exponential function, with log⁡′(x)=1/x for x>0 by The natural logarithm has derivative 1/x and equals the integral from 1 to x of 1/t. Let d,N≥1 and let B=∏j=1d[0,Lj]⊂Rd, where each side length Lj>0 is in metres and V:=∏jLj is in md. Let m>0 be the common particle mass in kg, β>0 in J−1, and let h0:=a0>0 be the fixed action reference in J s from Declared example preparations and thermodynamic interpretation. Take one species of N operationally indistinguishable particles as in Classical particle counting and physical observables. On its auxiliary labelled cover, positions qi∈B are in metres and momenta pi∈Rd are in kg m s−1; the Hamiltonian is permutation invariant and the reference measure is dνN=dq dpN!h0dN. The symmetric labelled law represents the quotient preparation; a one-particle marginal below means the law of a uniformly selected particle. For N≥1, define HN(q,p)=∑i=1N∣pi∣22m and use the canonical preparation of Declared example preparations and thermodynamic interpretation. For the vacuum sector N=0, define B0×Rd⋅0 to be a singleton with reference measure ν0=1, set H0=0, and use empty-product conventions V0=0!=h00=1; thus Z0=1. The mass parameter m applies when particles are present; the vacuum sector has no mass coordinate. For all N≥0, set λ:=h0β/(2πm) (metres) and ZN=∫e−βHN dνN=VNN!λdN. For N≥1, the labelled-cover position coordinates are independent uniform points of B and are independent of the momenta; all momentum components are independent centered Gaussians of variance m/β. The joint law is permutation invariant. The energy satisfies U=EHN=dN/(2β) and Var⁡(HN)=dN/(2β2), with variance in J2. With the adopted Boltzmann constant kB>0 in J K−1 and temperature T:=(kBβ)−1>0 in K from Declared example preparations and thermodynamic interpretation, define F=−β−1log⁡ZN and scale all box side lengths uniformly when varying V, holding the shape, N,T,d,m,h0 fixed. The model pressure P:=−(∂F/∂V)N,T,d,m,h0, shape has units J m−d (equivalently N m1−d; Pa when d=3) and obeys PV=N/β=NkBT. The fixed-reference entropy is S=kB(log⁡ZN+βU) and retains the chosen N! and h0 convention.

For d=3, the speed v=∣p∣/m of a uniformly selected particle, in m s−1, has density f(v)=4π(mβ2π)3/2v2e−βmv2/2,v≥0. Its squared-speed expectation, modal speed, and mean speed are E[v2]=3/(mβ) in m2 s−2, 2/(mβ) in m s−1, and E[v]=8/(πmβ) in m s−1, respectively.

For the separate grand-canonical branch of Declared example preparations and thermodynamic interpretation, let μchem be a chemical potential in joules and z=exp⁡(βμchem)>0 the dimensionless activity. Specify its full preparation on Γg:=⨆j≥0({j}×Γj), where Γj=Bj×Rdj for j≥1 and Γ0 is the vacuum singleton. Use the sigma-algebra of sets A whose slices Aj:={x∈Γj:(j,x)∈A} are Borel, and adopt, whenever 0<Ξ:=∑j≥0zjZj<∞, the probability law Pg(A):=Ξ−1∑j≥0zj∫Aje−βHj dνj. The particle count is the map N:Γg→{0,1,…}, N(j,x)=j. This full-law assumption supplements the sector weights; those weights alone do not determine the within-sector law. Then Ξ=∑N=0∞zNZN=exp⁡(zV/λd),P(N=j)=exp⁡(−ν)νjj!,ν:=zV/λd, so EN=Var⁡(N)=ν and the conditional law given N is the canonical law above.

A distinct three-dimensional classical ultra-relativistic model adopts Hur(p)=c∣p∣ for every p∈R3, with c>0 in m s−1 and p in kg m s−1, in the same box volume V in m3. This extends the nonzero massless momentum formula continuously to p=0 only to define a density on all of R3; the point has Lebesgue measure zero and no physical zero-momentum massless state is asserted. Its separate canonical partition function is ZN,ur=VNN!h03N(8π(βc)3)N, with Uur=3N/β J and Var⁡(Hur)=3N/β2 J2. Define its fixed-volume heat capacity by CV,ur:=(∂Uur/∂T)V,N,c,h0=3NkB; it has units J K−1. Its three-dimensional pressure obeys PV=N/β and has units Pa. This branch is not obtained by setting m=0 in the Gaussian model and makes no photon-number or quantum-statistics claim.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: ACω, d,N≥1, the rectangular box B with side lengths in metres and volume V in md, one operationally indistinguishable species, m>0 kg, h0=a0>0 J s, β>0 J−1, and the Hamiltonian and symmetric reference measure in the Statement.

[F1]

Declared example preparations and thermodynamic interpretation: for a specified model with finite positive partition function, the canonical density is Z−1e−βH relative to its fixed reference; grand-sector weights are zNZN/Ξ. This is an adopted preparation, not an equilibration theorem.

[F2]

Gaussian, gamma and beta product integrals: positive Gaussian coefficients have the stated Gaussian moments and finite products; gamma integrals, equal-scale gamma convolution, and moment differentiation follow from its explicit evaluations and Gamma recurrence.

[F3]

Under ACω, product Lebesgue measure agrees with Euclidean Lebesgue measure on Borel rectangles (On Borel subsets of R^{m+n}, the product lambda_m times lambda_n agrees with lambda_{m+n}).

[F5]

The Lebesgue factors are sigma-finite; Tonelli factors nonnegative product integrals and Fubini factors absolutely integrable signed product integrals (Tonelli's theorem for nonnegative measurable functions on a sigma-finite product, Fubini's theorem for L^1 functions on a sigma-finite product).

[F6]

Polar coordinates in R3 give ∫g(p) dλ3(p)=∫0∞∫S2g(rω)r2 dσ(ω) dr for nonnegative Borel g, under ACω; σ(S2)=4π by the unit-ball volume formula (Polar coordinates decompose Lebesgue measure into r^{n-1} dr d sigma, The closed form for the volume of the unit n-ball).

[F7]

The Gaussian integrals and moments in [F2] are improper Riemann integrals. Under ACω, their bounded truncations agree with Lebesgue integrals, and monotone convergence passes nonnegative truncations to the full line (Riemann–Lebesgue comparison for distribution test integrands, Monotone convergence for the integral).

[F8]

Massless test-particle action and momentum scale: the adopted massless test sector has nonzero future-null mechanical momentum P and does not identify it with mU at m=0.

[F9]

Mechanical momentum and observer energy: for an observer n with g(n,n)=−1, define spatial momentum qn(P)=P+g(P,n)n and observer energy En(P)=−c g(P,n); in the massless sector P is nonzero future null.

[F10]

Observers, rest spaces and the spatial projection at an event: in a time-oriented Lorentzian background (M,g,N), N is the smooth future timelike field; at an event n=N/−g(N,N) is an observer, whose rest space is n⊥ and whose spatial projection is hn(P)=P+g(n,P)n.

[F11]

The observer rest-space decomposition and the spatial projection: g(hn(P),hn(P))=g(P,P)+g(P,n)2, and g is positive definite on the three-dimensional rest space n⊥.

[F12]

Classical particle counting and physical observables: for one operationally indistinguishable species, the symmetric labelled lift uses the factor 1/N!; label-specific one-particle marginals of a permutation-invariant state are interpreted as those of a uniformly selected particle.

[F13]

The real exponential function and the number e by a power series: exp⁡(x) is the everywhere-convergent series ∑n≥0xn/n!.

[F14]

The exponential is positive and satisfies exp⁡(−x)=1/exp⁡(x): exp⁡(−x)=1/exp⁡(x) and exp⁡(x)>0 for real x.

[F15]

The natural logarithm as the inverse of the exponential function: log⁡ is the real natural logarithm on (0,∞).

[F17]

Order, continuity, range, and the product, quotient, and reciprocal laws for the natural logarithm gives log⁡(xy)=log⁡x+log⁡y and log⁡(x/y)=log⁡x−log⁡y for positive x,y; finite iteration gives log⁡(xk)=klog⁡x for integers k≥0.

[F18]

Under ACω, every point and coordinate hyperplane in R3 is Lebesgue null (A box with a degenerate side is Lebesgue null, and so is every coordinate hyperplane in Rn).

[A1]

The canonical probability laws, grand-sector weights and thermodynamic identifications are adopted as in [F1], with the full grand law specified in [A3]; the calculations establish conditional consequences only. The one-species operational indistinguishability and its permutation-invariant labelled lift are model assumptions as in [F12], not consequences of common mass.

[A2]

The ultra-relativistic branch separately adopts the classical Hamiltonian Hur(p)=c∣p∣ in one observer's orthonormal spatial momentum coordinates. It is not a massless limit of the massive Hamiltonian and is not a quantum radiation model.

[A3]

In the grand branch adopt the full law Pg on the disjoint union and slice sigma-algebra specified in the Statement. In particular, for a Borel E⊆Γj, Pg({j}×E)=Ξ−1zj∫Ee−βHj dνj. This is an additional preparation assumption, not a consequence of sector weights alone.

Proof

Given: ACω, d,N≥1, the rectangular box B with side lengths in metres and volume V in md, one operationally indistinguishable species, m>0 kg, h0=a0>0 J s, β>0 J−1, and the Hamiltonian and symmetric reference measure in the Statement.

1.1givenF1F2F3F4F5F7F12algebra

By [F3], Euclidean Lebesgue measure in the position and momentum coordinates is their product measure; [F5] then factors the nonnegative normalization integral. The box-volume formula [F4] gives λdN(BN)=VN. Each of the dN scalar momentum factors contributes ∫Re−βp2/(2m)dp=2πm/β by [F2] and [F7]. Including the stipulated factor 1/(N!h0dN) from [F12] yields ZN=VN(N!h0dN)−1(2πm/β)dN/2=VN/(N!λdN).

1.2givenA2F8F9F10F11algebra

For the separate massless branch, let Ntime denote the background's smooth future-timelike field N from [F10] and normalize it at the event by n=Ntime/−g(Ntime,Ntime). [F8] makes P future null, so g(P,n)<0. By [F11], ∣qn(P)∣2=g(qn(P),qn(P))=g(P,n)2, hence En(P)=−cg(P,n)=c∣qn(P)∣. Identifying qn with its components in an orthonormal basis of the positive rest space gives the adopted Hur(p)=c∣p∣ with the stated units.

2.1givenF2F3F5step 1.1

After normalization, the canonical density is the product of the uniform position density on BN and the dN scalar Gaussian momentum densities. For measurable coordinate rectangles, [F3] and [F5] show their probabilities factor; hence the positions and all momentum components are independent, each position is uniform on B, and each momentum component is centered with variance m/β by [F2].

2.2A1A3F1F13F14step 1.1algebra

In the grand preparation [A3] with sector weights from [F1], use the vacuum convention Z0=1 and substitute ZN=VN/(N!λdN) for all N≥0 into the sector sum. With ν=zV/λd, [F13] gives Ξ=∑N≥0νN/N!=exp⁡(ν), and [F14] gives the normalized sector weight νN/(N!exp⁡(ν))=exp⁡(−ν)νN/N!. Each summand in [A3] is a nonnegative measure on its sector, so countable additivity and this finite positive total mass make Pg a probability measure.

2.3A1A2F1F2F3F5F6F18step 1.1algebra

By [F6], the momentum integral for one ultra-relativistic particle is ∫R3e−βc∣p∣ dλ3(p)=4π∫0∞r2e−βcrdr=4πΓ(3)(βc)3=8π(βc)3, using [F2]. The point p=0 is Lebesgue null by [F18], so the continuous extension adds no massless zero-momentum state. Product measure and Tonelli [F3, F5] give the N-particle product, and the stated positional/counting reference then gives ZN,ur.

3.1givenF2step 2.1algebra

Each scalar momentum coordinate has second moment m/β and fourth moment 3m2/β2 from [F2]. Thus each term piα2/(2m) has mean 1/(2β) and variance 1/(2β2); independence from step 2.1 makes means and variances add, giving the stated U and Var⁡(HN).

3.2givenF2F6step 2.1algebra

For d=3, write a=β/(2m). The one-particle momentum density is (a/π)3/2e−a∣p∣2. By [F6], for every Borel A⊆[0,∞) the probability that v=∣p∣/m lies in A is 4π(a/π)3/2∫mAr2e−ar2 dr. The substitution r=mv therefore gives the speed density 4π(mβ/(2π))3/2v2e−βmv2/2 on v≥0.

3.3A3F13F14step 1.1step 2.2algebra

Shifting the index in the absolutely convergent series [F13] gives ∑j≥0jνj/j!=νexp⁡(ν) and ∑j≥0j(j−1)νj/j!=ν2exp⁡(ν). After normalization by [F14], EN=ν and E[N(N−1)]=ν2, hence Var⁡(N)=E[N(N−1)]+EN−(EN)2=ν. For each j≥0, step 2.2 gives Pg(N=j)=zjZj/Ξ>0. For any Borel E⊆Γj, [A3] therefore gives Pg({j}×E∣N=j)=(Ξ−1zj∫Ee−βHj dνj)/(Ξ−1zjZj)=Zj−1∫Ee−βHj dνj, exactly the canonical law, including the vacuum singleton.

4.1A1F1F15F16F17step 1.1step 3.1algebra

By [F17] and [A1], F=−β−1[Nlog⁡(V/λd)−log⁡N!] for fixed T,N and fixed box shape. The log derivative [F16] gives −∂VF=N/(βV), with P in J m−d, and therefore PV=N/β. The entropy definition in [F1] gives S=kB(log⁡ZN+βU) with the same fixed h0 and factorial convention.

4.2F2step 3.2algebra

The speed density is proportional to v2e−av2 with a=βm/2. Its derivative has the sign of 2v(1−av2) for v>0, so its unique positive maximum occurs at vmode=a−1/2. The second moment is 3/(2a)=3/(mβ) by the gamma recurrence in [F2]. The mean is Ev=4a3/2π∫0∞v3e−av2dv=4a3/2πΓ(2)2a2=2πa=8πβm. These are model-distribution moments, not values for an individual measured particle.

5.1A1F1F2F5F16step 2.3algebra∎

Under the normalized radial density proportional to r2e−βcr, gamma moments give mean energy 3/β and variance 3/β2 per particle. Independence from the product preparation adds these to Uur=3N/β and Var⁡(Hur)=3N/β2; differentiating at fixed V,N,c,h0 with β−1=kBT gives CV,ur=3NkB J K−1. Since ZN,ur is proportional to VN, [F16] gives −∂VF=N/(βV) and PV=N/β, with P in Pa for this three-dimensional branch.

Remarks

The source M18 Ising-chain supplier is not used here. The massless momentum relation is a consequence of the adopted null-sector convention and the stated observer projection; the classical canonical H=c∣p∣ preparation is a separate model assumption. No empirical data or precision are asserted.
