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.
Regular ingoing KN metric, field and sphere axes
Statement
Let have units of metres. Set and let have unit round metric and outward area form . Define the global one-form and the product oriented by . On this product define where . The time-orientation field is These formulas define smooth Lorentzian metric and field data on the whole sphere for every , including each positive root of ; no maximal extension, locus, or global uniqueness is asserted. On the dense pole-free set where , they are related to the Boyer-Lindquist data by the advanced coordinate change proved below.
The source-free geometric electrovac equations extend across conditionally on the exact current interface of Fully verified electric Kerr-Newman electrovacuum: its geometric pole-free equations are used on the dense complement of the roots and axes, and smoothness then extends their residuals. That supplier is a current draft theorem and is not claimed as independently accepted here.

Proof
The sphere coordinates and one-form are smooth globally. Since , ; every coefficient in the displayed product tensors is therefore smooth, and is smooth by exterior differentiation. In polar charts, and .
Away from the axes and roots, put and set This triangular coordinate change has Jacobian determinant . Substitution in the product metric gives exactly the BL metric in [F1]. Also Thus differs from the BL potential by the radial one-form , whose exterior derivative is zero because its coefficient depends only on . The two field strengths agree. Finally , so this change preserves the stated orientation.
On , the determinant in coordinates is : it is the determinant from [F1], multiplied by ; the coordinate change in step 1.2 has Jacobian . This determinant is nonzero when and extends by continuity to , since the product metric coefficients are smooth by step 1.1. At a polar axis as a covector on the sphere tangent space; the radial block is with determinant , and the angular block is , positive definite. So the metric is nondegenerate at the axes too. On a large- pole-free region it has signature by [F1] and step 1.2. A continuous nondegenerate symmetric form has locally constant signature; the product manifold is connected, so this signature holds everywhere.
The field is smooth and global by the product construction. Direct contraction gives Thus is everywhere timelike, and by [F6] it selects the stated smooth time orientation on the whole product.
By [F3] the Einstein and Maxwell residual tensors vanish on the pole-free BL domains. The coordinate and field identities in step 1.2 carry that zero residual to the ingoing formulas on the dense set , . By steps 1.1, 2.1 and 3.1, the metric and field are smooth and nondegenerate on the full product; [F4-F5] therefore make each residual tensor continuous, including at the axes and roots. A continuous tensor zero on a dense subset is zero on its closure. This proves the stated conditional equation continuation exactly when the interface [F3] is established, without extending beyond the selected ingoing model.
Remarks
Metric, field and orientation regularity are established directly from the displayed product formulas. The electrovac-equation clause remains conditional on the current pole-free KN verification draft; it adds no maximality, uniqueness or empirical claim.
