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.
Soft-current angular norm and exact cutoff coherent model
Statement
This is a conditional mathematical theorem about the prescribed current and free coherent-state construction defined below, under the exact supplier interfaces [F2] and [L1]. Here “soft current” is only a name for the displayed rational function: no scattering-amplitude factorization or approximation claim is made. The weak-zero and no-strong-limit conclusions are conditional on [L1]; the projective-ray conclusion is proved separately in step 7.1.
Assume , the constants and conventions of QFT example units, metric, gauge, and pairing conventions, and that the two supplier interfaces [F2] and [L1] hold exactly as stated below. Let be a finite, possibly empty, set of leg labels. A leg carries an energy in joules, a dimensionless velocity with in m s and , a dimensionless charge number (physical charge coulombs), and an orientation sign , with for an incoming leg and for an outgoing leg. Require charge balance . Use and for algebraic four-vector contractions. For and energy in joules, put Each has positive energy and ; this timelike condition is the precise meaning of “massive” here, with rest mass . The prescribed current is the function on . Since , this equals . Thus is dimensionless and has units . Write , let , and . Define as Euclidean chart surface measure on and Here is the dimensionless coupling of QFT example units, metric, gauge, and pairing conventions and are energy cutoffs in joules. Write for the spatial energy coordinate, distinct from the four-vector above. For , put and and define Set and regard as a function of . Define , with the componentwise Hermitian integral pairing linear in its second variable. On this energy-coordinate transverse Hilbert space the exact norm is The energy-coordinate wavefunction has units and its one-particle measure has units , so and are dimensionless; its value at is immaterial to this vector. Under the canonical unitary specified and proved in step 3.1, the same vector is represented by the length-coordinate vector defined as follows. Set and, for , define Here is dimensionless and the wavefunction has units . The normalized coherent vector has squared norm in sector with also when . These are Hilbert-space sector norms and their index sum; no measured probability is asserted. For the free photon energy operator , is in its operator domain and its quadratic expectation is joules.
If , almost everywhere and for each cutoff. If , the exact hypotheses of the current [L1] hold with , and the displayed nonzero transverse angular function . Conditional on [L1], the family has no strong Fock-vector limit and converges weakly to zero, while its free energy expectation stays bounded. For a unit Fock vector , define its projective ray . For unit vectors define their projective-ray distance by . This is a metric on phase classes: symmetry follows by replacing with , the triangle inequality follows from the norm triangle inequality and phase invariance, and compactness of the unit circle makes zero distance equivalent to equality of the classes. Projective convergence means convergence in this distance, equivalently norm convergence to a fixed unit vector after allowing a unit-modulus phase at each cutoff. Step 7.1 proves separately that these rays have no projective limit, including after arbitrary phase choices. This is not a result about full interacting QED, universal charged sectors, detector-inclusive observables, or measured photon statistics.

The Axiom of Countable Choice (): the Fock and measure-theoretic suppliers assume the stated countable-choice axiom.
QFT example units, metric, gauge, and pairing conventions: use for algebraic contractions, is dimensionless, and no amplitude is assigned a probability by convention.
Positive transverse photon one-particle space: the current QFT-MG01 definition sets for and , a closed positive Hilbert space. The exact draft definition is registered in the completed batch-44 manifest. Its native readiness remains separate from this conditional mathematical use.
Schwartz/distribution spaces and Hilbert Fock conventions: bosonic Fock space is the square-summable direct sum of symmetric tensor sectors, with vacuum and finite-particle subspace dense; use its second-variable-linear pairing.

Second-quantized multipliers, joint spectral measure and exact domains: on scalar the real nonnegative one-particle multiplier gives the sector multiplier with its maximal square-integrability domain. For the vector-valued transverse space, identify with scalar ; [L1]'s proof step 2.1 verifies that the multiplier commutes with and restricts to the transverse Fock space.
Surface integration on compact C1 hypersurfaces: Euclidean surface integration on is defined chartwise from the induced metric Jacobian, with chart-independent integrals.

Polar coordinates decompose Lebesgue measure into r^{n-1} dr d sigma: for a nonnegative Borel function on , polar integration is .
A C^1 diffeomorphism satisfies the change-of-variables formula for L^1 functions: under , a diffeomorphism changes Lebesgue integrals of functions by its absolute Jacobian. Its proof also shows that the dilation pulls Lebesgue-null sets back to null sets; this is needed for composition on equivalence classes.

A box with a degenerate side is Lebesgue null, and so is every coordinate hyperplane in : in one dimension every singleton is a coordinate hyperplane and has Lebesgue measure zero, so changing strict radial cutoff endpoints does not change an integral.
A product of two at most countable sets is at most countable: the Cartesian product of two at most countable sets is at most countable; applying this twice proves countability of a threefold product.

Its Statement asserts , , unit-vector membership in , weak convergence to zero, and absence of a strong Fock limit. Its exact Statement and proof are supplied locally, including the declared polar-coordinate and surface-measure inputs in its proof step 1.2. Weak-zero and no-strong-limit are used under that Statement's hypotheses; local repair does not replace native readiness or independent review. It states no projective-ray result, which this item derives locally from [F4].

Proof
For every leg and , . Since the leg set is finite, each summand of is continuous and bounded on . Moreover Thus and . Consequently the angular integrand is nonnegative, bounded and measurable; the coefficient is finite and nonnegative.
By [F10] at , the real-valued scalar space has a countable dense set . It is nonempty because this scalar space is nonempty and is dense. By [F12], is at most countable; [F14] supplies a surjection from onto this nonempty product. Composing with and applying [F14] again shows that is at most countable. For every complex scalar , its real and imaginary parts belong to real , and ; density of therefore makes dense in complex scalar . By two applications of [F12], is countable and dense in , since each of three components can be approximated with squared error below . For and , put . Using [F13] and the reality of , direct expansion gives , and . Thus is a bounded idempotent on the ambient vector-valued space. Its image of is countable and dense in its range: for choose close to , and .
By [F6] and [F7], the used in the statement is the finite Euclidean surface measure, and [F8] gives . Multiplying by and integrating over gives The substitution and [F15] give the displayed logarithm. The cutoffs are strictly positive and finite, so the norm is finite. The endpoint set is null by [F11], so the strict cutoff convention gives the same integral as including either endpoint.
Put and . For , define for and ; the weighted hypothesis gives . The density of the energy measure is positive and finite off , so every energy-measure null set is Lebesgue null there; the singleton is also Lebesgue null. By [F9], preserves Lebesgue-null sets, so composition by is well-defined on these equivalence classes. Define and, for , The change-of-variables formula [F9] for the function gives Conversely, for define and for . Applying [F9] to and the inverse dilation shows ; direct substitution gives and almost everywhere. Thus is a unitary on the ambient spaces. Since and the scalar multipliers do not change the transverse condition, with null sets preserved under and the equivalence a.e. iff a.e. follows. Therefore restricts to a unitary ; in particular the energy-coordinate transverse subspace is a Hilbert space because [F2] makes a closed Hilbert space. Substitution of gives whose angular coefficient has squared integral by the definition of .
Put . By [F3] and [F18], the squared norm in sector of is , with , and the exponential series [F17] gives total squared norm . Step 1.2 establishes that is separable, as required by [F4]. Setting and in [F4] yields , so is normalized and its sector squared norms are . The exponential series [F17] and index shifts give and . These are norm identities only; no measurement interpretation is used.
On the support, the one-photon energy satisfies . By [F5] and [L1], the energy on sector is the sum of its one-photon energies, bounded above by . The exponential series [F17] gives , so and the vector lies in the operator domain. For each , the sector quadratic form of the unnormalized tensor is . Summing with the factor gives . In energy coordinates the latter integral is This is a free-model Hilbert-space expectation in joules, not an empirical measurement.
If , [F16] applied to the nonnegative integrand defining gives almost everywhere, so as Hilbert-space vectors and . If , the function is a nonzero transverse member of , with squared norm integral . Its cutoffs and satisfy , and step 3.1 identifies its exact wavefunction with [L1]'s current family. Conditional on [L1], its weak-zero and no-strong-limit claims apply, and its energy formula agrees with step 5.1 because .
For each integer put , , and . The increment is supported on the disjoint shell , so its squared norm is , since [F15] gives . Also , because the increment is orthogonal to . By [F4] and the normalization in step 4.1, by [F19]. For every with , Taking the infimum over gives . If the ray sequence converged, the triangle inequality for would force these adjacent distances to tend to zero, a contradiction. This fills the interface difference in [L1] without asserting that its current statement contains a projective-ray result.
