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
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 as defined in The Axiom of Countable Choice (), for the Euclidean Lebesgue product and polar-coordinate suppliers used below. Let be the real exponential of The real exponential function and the number by a power series, and let be the natural logarithm of The natural logarithm as the inverse of the exponential function, with for by The natural logarithm has derivative 1/x and equals the integral from 1 to x of 1/t. Let and let , where each side length is in metres and is in . Let be the common particle mass in kg, in J, and let be the fixed action reference in J s from Declared example preparations and thermodynamic interpretation. Take one species of operationally indistinguishable particles as in Classical particle counting and physical observables. On its auxiliary labelled cover, positions are in metres and momenta are in kg m s; the Hamiltonian is permutation invariant and the reference measure is The symmetric labelled law represents the quotient preparation; a one-particle marginal below means the law of a uniformly selected particle. For , define and use the canonical preparation of Declared example preparations and thermodynamic interpretation. For the vacuum sector , define to be a singleton with reference measure , set , and use empty-product conventions ; thus . The mass parameter applies when particles are present; the vacuum sector has no mass coordinate. For all , set (metres) and For , the labelled-cover position coordinates are independent uniform points of and are independent of the momenta; all momentum components are independent centered Gaussians of variance . The joint law is permutation invariant. The energy satisfies and , with variance in J. With the adopted Boltzmann constant in J K and temperature in K from Declared example preparations and thermodynamic interpretation, define and scale all box side lengths uniformly when varying , holding the shape, fixed. The model pressure has units J m (equivalently N m; Pa when ) and obeys . The fixed-reference entropy is and retains the chosen and convention.
For , the speed of a uniformly selected particle, in m s, has density Its squared-speed expectation, modal speed, and mean speed are in m s, in m s, and in m s, respectively.
For the separate grand-canonical branch of Declared example preparations and thermodynamic interpretation, let be a chemical potential in joules and the dimensionless activity. Specify its full preparation on , where for and is the vacuum singleton. Use the sigma-algebra of sets whose slices are Borel, and adopt, whenever , the probability law The particle count is the map , . This full-law assumption supplements the sector weights; those weights alone do not determine the within-sector law. Then so and the conditional law given is the canonical law above.
A distinct three-dimensional classical ultra-relativistic model adopts for every , with in m s and in kg m s, in the same box volume in m. This extends the nonzero massless momentum formula continuously to only to define a density on all of ; the point has Lebesgue measure zero and no physical zero-momentum massless state is asserted. Its separate canonical partition function is with J and J. Define its fixed-volume heat capacity by ; it has units J K. Its three-dimensional pressure obeys and has units Pa. This branch is not obtained by setting in the Gaussian model and makes no photon-number or quantum-statistics claim.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , , the rectangular box with side lengths in metres and volume in m, one operationally indistinguishable species, kg, J s, J, and the Hamiltonian and symmetric reference measure in the Statement.
Declared example preparations and thermodynamic interpretation: for a specified model with finite positive partition function, the canonical density is relative to its fixed reference; grand-sector weights are . This is an adopted preparation, not an equilibration theorem.
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.
Under , 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}).
Lebesgue measure of a rectangular box is the product of its side lengths (A box in with parameters is Lebesgue measurable of measure , whichever of its faces are included).
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).
Polar coordinates in give for nonnegative Borel , under ; 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 -ball).
The Gaussian integrals and moments in [F2] are improper Riemann integrals. Under , 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).
Massless test-particle action and momentum scale: the adopted massless test sector has nonzero future-null mechanical momentum and does not identify it with at .
Mechanical momentum and observer energy: for an observer with , define spatial momentum and observer energy ; in the massless sector is nonzero future null.
Observers, rest spaces and the spatial projection at an event: in a time-oriented Lorentzian background , is the smooth future timelike field; at an event is an observer, whose rest space is and whose spatial projection is .
The observer rest-space decomposition and the spatial projection: , and is positive definite on the three-dimensional rest space .
Classical particle counting and physical observables: for one operationally indistinguishable species, the symmetric labelled lift uses the factor ; label-specific one-particle marginals of a permutation-invariant state are interpreted as those of a uniformly selected particle.
The real exponential function and the number by a power series: is the everywhere-convergent series .
The exponential is positive and satisfies : and for real .
The natural logarithm as the inverse of the exponential function: is the real natural logarithm on .
Order, continuity, range, and the product, quotient, and reciprocal laws for the natural logarithm gives and for positive ; finite iteration gives for integers .
Under , every point and coordinate hyperplane in is Lebesgue null (A box with a degenerate side is Lebesgue null, and so is every coordinate hyperplane in ).
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.
The ultra-relativistic branch separately adopts the classical Hamiltonian 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.
In the grand branch adopt the full law on the disjoint union and slice sigma-algebra specified in the Statement. In particular, for a Borel , . This is an additional preparation assumption, not a consequence of sector weights alone.
Proof
Given: , , the rectangular box with side lengths in metres and volume in , one operationally indistinguishable species, kg, J s, J, and the Hamiltonian and symmetric reference measure in the Statement.
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 . Each of the scalar momentum factors contributes by [F2] and [F7]. Including the stipulated factor from [F12] yields .
For the separate massless branch, let denote the background's smooth future-timelike field from [F10] and normalize it at the event by . [F8] makes future null, so . By [F11], , hence . Identifying with its components in an orthonormal basis of the positive rest space gives the adopted with the stated units.
After normalization, the canonical density is the product of the uniform position density on and the 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 , and each momentum component is centered with variance by [F2].
In the grand preparation [A3] with sector weights from [F1], use the vacuum convention and substitute for all into the sector sum. With , [F13] gives , and [F14] gives the normalized sector weight . Each summand in [A3] is a nonnegative measure on its sector, so countable additivity and this finite positive total mass make a probability measure.
By [F6], the momentum integral for one ultra-relativistic particle is using [F2]. The point is Lebesgue null by [F18], so the continuous extension adds no massless zero-momentum state. Product measure and Tonelli [F3, F5] give the -particle product, and the stated positional/counting reference then gives .
Each scalar momentum coordinate has second moment and fourth moment from [F2]. Thus each term has mean and variance ; independence from step 2.1 makes means and variances add, giving the stated and .
For , write . The one-particle momentum density is . By [F6], for every Borel the probability that lies in is The substitution therefore gives the speed density on .
Shifting the index in the absolutely convergent series [F13] gives and . After normalization by [F14], and , hence . For each , step 2.2 gives . For any Borel , [A3] therefore gives , exactly the canonical law, including the vacuum singleton.
By [F17] and [A1], for fixed and fixed box shape. The log derivative [F16] gives , with in J m, and therefore . The entropy definition in [F1] gives with the same fixed and factorial convention.
The speed density is proportional to with . Its derivative has the sign of for , so its unique positive maximum occurs at . The second moment is by the gamma recurrence in [F2]. The mean is These are model-distribution moments, not values for an individual measured particle.
Under the normalized radial density proportional to , gamma moments give mean energy and variance per particle. Independence from the product preparation adds these to and ; differentiating at fixed with gives J K. Since is proportional to , [F16] gives and , with 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 preparation is a separate model assumption. No empirical data or precision are asserted.
