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.
Killing scalar conservation in cotangent shell form
Statement
Assume for the cotangent supplier. Let be a smooth Lorentzian manifold with canonical cotangent coordinates and for fixed . For any smooth vector field , set . With canonical bracket ,
If is Killing, this bracket vanishes for all cotangent covectors, and is constant along every constrained free-shell trajectory generated by with any smooth multiplier on its actual interval. No global existence or empirical conservation is asserted.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A smooth nondegenerate Lorentzian metric, cotangent coordinates, constants , , and a smooth vector field with . A trajectory generated by means a smooth curve on an interval , with and for a smooth parameter-only multiplier .
The Axiom of Countable Choice (): assume countable choice only for the cotangent supplier; no full axiom of choice is used.
Canonical Poisson brackets and local Hamiltonian flow: the current H0 draft fixes the canonical bracket and on actual solution intervals, with no completeness claim. Its H25 Step 1 record is ready/hash-current, but the carrier remains draft/unbound with ai-altered proof provenance and no independent proof approval.
Here the Lie derivative of the metric is , where is the local flow of . In coordinates its components are . A Killing field means in every chart. This definition requires neither orientation nor time orientation nor dimension four. The inverse metric has Lie derivative .
Proof
Given: The smooth metric, canonical bracket [L2], shell function and generated trajectories specified above.
In coordinates, , , , and . Therefore [L2] gives , by [F1] and symmetry of .
Differentiating gives . Substitution in the coordinate formula of [F1] gives . If is Killing, by definition, so . Step 1.1 then gives at every cotangent covector.
Along any generated trajectory in the stated sense, the chain rule and [L2] give because has no explicit parameter dependence. This vanishes by step 2.1 throughout the solution's actual interval, and hence is constant there. The calculation is local in charts and thus applies along the whole interval, with no completeness assumption.
