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.
Fine entropy under a specified incompressible periodic flow
Statement
Use for the natural logarithm of The natural logarithm as the inverse of the exponential function. Let be a flat translation torus, where for a linearly independent basis , with the smooth structure and Euclidean metric descended from . Let be its fixed translation-invariant volume measure in dimensionless translation coordinates, with . Let be an open interval containing . Suppose is jointly , each is a diffeomorphism, and . Let be the tangent-bundle projection and let have chart coefficients with and . In translation charts write and define . Assume in these charts. Let satisfy and , and define . Then is a probability density for every , the integral is finite, and . Here is the dimensionless fine entropy of this density; multiplication by a physical constant such as is a separate interpretation.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The flat torus, fixed measure , jointly diffeomorphisms , divergence-free velocity, and positive probability density bounded above and below as in the Statement.
Jacobian identity for a specified smooth diffeomorphic flow: on the flat translation torus, for a jointly diffeomorphic family with and a time-dependent vector field satisfying , the local-chart Jacobian satisfies , is positive, and equals when the chart divergence vanishes.
Change of variables for an injective map on a compact Jordan set: an injective map with invertible derivative on an open neighborhood of a compact Jordan set obeys the Riemann change-of-variables formula for bounded integrable functions.
The natural logarithm as the inverse of the exponential function defines on as the inverse of the real exponential; Order, continuity, range, and the product, quotient, and reciprocal laws for the natural logarithm makes it continuous there. In particular it is bounded and continuous on every compact interval .
Proof
Apply [F1] to the given family. Its hypotheses are exactly the supplied diffeomorphisms, identity initial map and divergence-free velocity, so every local translation-chart Jacobian is .
For fixed , around each point choose a source chart and a smaller coordinate neighborhood whose closure maps under into a target chart. Continuity and compactness give finitely many closed coordinate boxes with interiors covering the torus and with each inside a target chart. Put and ; each is compact, the pieces cover the torus, and any overlap lies on one of the box faces. Each is Jordan because its boundary lies in a finite union of coordinate faces, which are compact hypersurface patches. A graph patch has bounded slope on a compact subpatch, so its mesh- box cover has total -volume and hence content zero. On compact chart neighborhoods has bounded derivative, so it maps these zero-content boundaries to zero-content boundaries. Each compact piece and its image therefore have Jordan boundaries and lie in source and target charts; [F2] applies there. Summing over the pieces, overlaps do not affect the integrals, translation chart changes preserve , and the constant is the same on both sides. Thus for every continuous on the torus, .
The function is positive and continuous. The substitution of step 2.1 with gives , so is normalized.
The bounds also hold for ; by [F3], is continuous on , so is bounded and continuous on the compact torus and its integral is finite. Applying step 2.1 to gives , since . Negating proves .
Remarks
This is a statement about supplied smooth mathematical flow data. It does not assert existence of a flow for a vector field, Hamiltonian structure, relaxation, mixing, ergodicity, monotonicity of coarse entropy, or a physical entropy interpretation.
