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.
Poincare cotangent moment map and full generator algebra
Statement
Assume . For the group and cotangent conventions of Poincare semidirect group, dual pairing and moment components, the map defined by is a smooth equivariant moment map and obeys
For shell coordinates write and . For each future massive shell with in kg, in m/s, , and , or nonzero future null shell with and , its Poincare charges descend to the global quotient by complete characteristic lines of the shell constraint. For vectors , define . The induced dual action is . On the fixed-time slice , with physical position , the boost component is explicitly time dependent and satisfies . These are mathematical identities; conservation is conditional on the stated free-shell evolution.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The affine Poincaré action, cotangent phase space, and Poisson sign convention of Poincare semidirect group, dual pairing and moment components and the exact conditional suppliers below.
The Axiom of Countable Choice (): assume countable choice only; no full axiom of choice is used.
Canonical Poisson brackets and local Hamiltonian flow: the current H0 draft states , , and local flow only on the open solution domain. Its H25 Step 1 record is ready and hash-current, but the draft carrier has no pipeline_run binding and its ai-altered proof has no independent proof approval. Its coordinate convention matches the proof.
The cotangent lift of an action is Hamiltonian with the tautological moment map: for the cotangent lift and the library convention, satisfies and the cotangent-lift map is coadjoint equivariant.
Flat future mass shell has an explicit global orbit quotient: the current H8 draft states the future-shell equation , complete affine-line flow, global quotient, reduced form , and nonzero-null restriction. Its statement and dependencies match the H25 manifest. Its Step 1 record is ready/hash-current, but the carrier is still draft and unbound to pipeline_run, so this is not independent proof approval.
Free shell in inertial time has the square-root Hamiltonian: the current H8 draft states , , , and , on . The supplier is a mathematical deduction within its stated chart, positive-root and nonzero-null hypotheses; it introduces no physical action adoption.
Proof
Given: The library sign conventions, [F1], and the exact conditional shell statements [L1]–[L3].
For the cotangent lift has positive infinitesimal field because the library fundamental vector is generated by . With , by [L1], as and . Therefore . The cotangent lift is symplectic and equivariant by [F2], so is the claimed equivariant moment map.
Substituting and into [L1]'s canonical bracket, Leibniz gives and . Applying Leibniz to the four products in gives the four displayed metric terms, with signs fixed by .
The full dual action follows directly from the semidirect group law, without restricting to the cotangent moment-map image. For , multiplication and inversion give , hence . For an arbitrary dual charge use the pairing in [F1], , and define by pairing with . Lorentz invariance of transforms the first term to , where , and the second term to . Antisymmetry gives . Thus for every the pairing equals that of ; uniqueness of the dual coordinates proves the formula on all of . For cotangent-image charges it also agrees with , , and , as required by equivariance.
On either future shell, the characteristic shift changes by and leaves fixed, so each charge is constant on quotient fibres. In H8 coordinates the descended and are explicit smooth functions, so they descend smoothly through the quotient of [L2]. Lorentz invariance of gives for Lorentz generators; translations are constants in flat spacetime, so their brackets with also vanish.
For , the canonical bracket gives using the semidirect Lie bracket from [F1]. This proves the full dual generator identity.
At , , hence . With the reduced canonical bracket from [L2]–[L3], and . Their sum is zero, so is conserved along the free reduced motion, with the partial-time term essential.
