Positive transverse free photon model

1 · Prerequisites

2 · Summary

This page specifies a positive transverse free-photon model in the stated flat-spacetime and SI/natural-unit conventions. The physical one-photon space has two transverse degrees of freedom almost everywhere, and the adopted free Fock model has a nonnegative Hamiltonian and smeared local field-strength observables. The charged Dirac/Maxwell coupling is a separate smooth classical model; its local equations and the neutral periodic Coulomb branch are conditional deductions. The photon Hilbert-space and local-observable arguments cite current QFT-MG01 carriers at their inspected conditional interfaces. The transverse-space, null-quotient, and covariance-spectrum carriers have current ready records; the QED gauge-data, field-strength, Weyl, Dirac-current, Coulomb, and finite-mode constraint carriers are escalated. Readiness is not independent mathematical approval, and dependent items remain conditional. No interacting continuum QED construction or empirical outcome is asserted.

Charge, canonical photon field and observer units

Physical scope

Charge and gauge-field conversions for the selected flat-space QED model, in the stated SI and natural normalizations; no charge value, running law, regulator, boundary charge sector, or interacting continuum construction is inferred.

Definition

Use the oriented, time-oriented Minkowski model, length coordinates, metric, and SI/natural dictionary of Quantum field quantities and compatible SI normalizations, with η=diag⁡(−1,1,1,1) and x0=ct. Use the gamma matrices, Dirac adjoint, and effective Clifford metric of Charged gauge data and SI-natural conventions: γ0=β, {γa,γb}=−2ηabI4, and ψˉ=ψ†β. Assume Countable Choice The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω) for the mathematical QFT gauge-data supplier; the unit conversions below do not themselves spend a choice principle.

Identify the SI charge and mass symbols q,m in Charged gauge data and SI-natural conventions with qSI,mSI here. Its natural coupling g is qn below, and its inverse-length mass μ is the same mSIc/ℏ.

Let qSI∈R be a selected charge parameter in coulombs and mSI>0 a selected rest-mass parameter in kilograms. They are inputs of the chosen model; neither is derived from Maxwell's equations. Set μ=mSIc/ℏ in m−1 and qn=qSIμ0c/ℏ, which is dimensionless under the framework units of Quantum field quantities and compatible SI normalizations. For an electron use qSI=−eSI and en=eSIμ0c/ℏ>0, so qn=−en. Use ε0=(μ0c2)−1 with the measured current-SI μ0 of Quantum field quantities and compatible SI normalizations. These definitions therefore do not assign an exact numerical value to qn, en, or ε0.

In a named inertial chart, let ASIμ=(φ/c,A) be the electromagnetic potential when one is supplied, with components in T m under Framework-local SI units, the vacuum constants and the exact/measured status of their values and The electromagnetic two-form, its observer decomposition and the four-current. Define the canonical potential and field-strength components by

aμ:=ASIμμ0ℏc,fμν:=FSIμνμ0ℏc.

They have engineering dimensions m−1 and m−2, respectively. With the metric-lowered potential ASI,a=ηabASIb, the potential component convention is ASI,0=−φ/c and ASI,i=Ai. The covariant derivative in the selected QED model is

Da:=∂a−iqnaa=∂a−iqSIℏASI,a,

since qnaa=qSIASI,a/ℏ. Both terms in Da have unit m−1. If the SI gauge function χ has unit Wb=T m2, then qSIχ/ℏ is dimensionless; the corresponding natural gauge function λ=χ/μ0ℏc is dimensionless and qnλ=qSIχ/ℏ. These conversions apply to smooth local gauge transformations; they assert no boundary condition, asymptotic charge sector, or global gauge-fixing result.

If a separately specified finite regulator introduces Hamiltonian eigenvalues, they have unit joule; this definition introduces no regulator. The field components and units refer to the selected inertial chart, not to a new observer congruence or a cross-framework identification.

Positive transverse free photon model

Physical scope

The selected source-free, flat Minkowski Maxwell photon model with a positive transverse one-particle Hilbert space, its constructed bosonic Fock representation and free dynamics, and actual smeared field-strength and bounded Weyl observables; no interacting continuum QED or empirical outcome is asserted.

Postulate

Adopt the following specified free-photon model in the oriented, time-oriented affine Minkowski spacetime and length coordinates of Quantum field quantities and compatible SI normalizations, with metric (−,+,+,+) and x0=ct. The classical electromagnetic input is the smooth source-free branch of The microscopic vacuum Maxwell equations: smooth and weak branches; the electromagnetic two-form and its potential components are those of The electromagnetic two-form, its observer decomposition and the four-current, and a supplied potential is subject to Potential representations, gauge transformations and the Lorenz and Coulomb conditions. These EM suppliers are physical input and conventions: they do not by themselves construct a quantum representation.

For almost every k∈R3∖{0}, set n=k/∣k∣ and PT(k)=I3−nnT. The mathematical definition Positive transverse photon one-particle space specifies the positive one-photon Hilbert space

HT={u∈L2(R3,d3k;C3):k⋅u(k)=0 for almost every k},

with the inherited pairing ⟨u,v⟩2=∫u(k)‾⋅v(k) d3k, linear in the second variable as in Schwartz/distribution spaces and Hilbert Fock conventions. The value assigned to PT at k=0 is immaterial because that point has Lebesgue measure zero; no continuous polarization frame over all momentum directions is chosen. Adopt the bosonic Fock representation Fs(HT) and the free Hamiltonian

Hγ=ℏc dΓ(∣k∣),

where on the n-photon sector dΓ(∣k∣) is multiplication by ∑r=1n∣kr∣ and is zero on the vacuum sector. Its exact self-adjoint domain and the unitary mass-cone action are those in the mathematical supplier Photon quotient Lorentz representation and positive dynamics. The actual smeared field-strength distributions and bounded Weyl operators are those constructed in Bounded local photon Weyl observable algebra; a pointwise potential or field-strength operator is not asserted to exist. These mathematical suppliers are draft carriers with mixed current Step 1 status: the transverse-space, null-quotient, covariance-spectrum, framework-units, and C01 measurement carriers have current ready records; the local-Weyl carrier is escalated through its field-strength prerequisite. Readiness records are not independent approval, and every use remains conditional on the exact statement and proof supplied.

For the physical interpretation of an actually constructed state and a supplied normalized measurement instrument, use Physical interpretation of a supplied constructed quantum model: Born probabilities are assigned only to that specified model and instrument. This postulate records the model's free Maxwell quanta as photons. It does not assert that the model has been empirically confirmed, and it introduces no interacting four-dimensional QED Hilbert space, scattering operator, LSZ limit, asymptotic completeness, or nonperturbative continuum limit. In calculations using an indefinite four-polarization auxiliary space, only the positive transverse model or its separately constructed null quotient is physical; four auxiliary components are not four positive photon states.

Explicit charged Dirac/Maxwell local coupling model

Physical scope

A smooth local classical Maxwell–Dirac coupling in the stated SI/natural conventions, with electron charge q=-e as the selected QED species and the separately adopted free photon and Dirac representations; it asserts no interacting continuum Hilbert space, global PDE solution, pointwise quantum current, scattering operator, or nonperturbative QED construction.

Postulate

Adopt a smooth local classical Maxwell–Dirac model on an open region of the flat spacetime specified by Quantum field quantities and compatible SI normalizations. Let ASI,a be a supplied real C∞ electromagnetic covector potential and let ψ: ⁣U→C4 be a C∞ commuting spinor field. The charge qSI and rest mass mSI>0 are model inputs; for the electron take qSI=−eSI. Use the component, metric, Clifford, charge, field-normalization, and unit conventions of Charged gauge data and SI-natural conventions, Charge, canonical photon field and observer units, Quantum field quantities and compatible SI normalizations, and the electromagnetic suppliers of Positive transverse free photon model. In particular, Da=∂a−iqSIASI,a/ℏ=∂a−iqnaa and μ=mSIc/ℏ.

Adopt the local action density in natural normalization

Lnat=−14fabfab+i2(ψˉγaDaψ−(Daψˉ)γaψ)−μψˉψ,

where fab=∂aab−∂baa on the region where the potential is supplied, ψˉ=ψ†β, and Daψˉ=∂aψˉ+iqnaaψˉ. The physical action is Scl=ℏ∫ULnat d4x with x0=ct. For compactly supported local variations this is the adopted classical Maxwell–Dirac formulation; its Euler–Lagrange consequences are not postulated as a proof in this item.

For a smooth gauge function χ in webers, the adopted local transformation is ASI,a↦ASI,a+∂aχ and ψ↦eiqSIχ/ℏψ. It leaves F=dA invariant and makes Daψ transform by the same phase. This is the covector form of the SI potential rule in Potential representations, gauge transformations and the Lorenz and Coulomb conditions. Gauge functions in the local variation argument are compactly supported; no assertion is made about large gauge transformations, nontrivial bundles, boundary charges, or asymptotic sectors.

The model adopts the separately specified free Dirac representation of Specified bosonic scalar and CAR Dirac model adoption and the positive free photon representation of Positive transverse free photon model as the free-field correspondence used to describe the selected species. This extra correspondence does not quantize the interacting classical action. In particular, this postulate supplies no interacting continuum four-dimensional QED Hilbert space, no globally well-posed coupled PDE, no pointwise operator-valued composite current, no scattering or LSZ construction, and no regulator-removal or nonperturbative-existence result.

Two physical photon degrees and positive free dynamics

Physical scope

The selected flat-space source-free photon model only: positive transverse one-photon states, the auxiliary null quotient, Lorentz-covariant free dynamics, and its exact Hamiltonian domain; no interacting gauge model or empirical photon state is asserted.

Statement

Assume Countable Choice The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω) for the selected Fock-space construction, with the positive constants and physical energy units of Quantum field quantities and compatible SI normalizations. In the adopted model Positive transverse free photon model, for k≠0 set n=k/∣k∣ and PT(k)=I3−nnT. Then for almost every nonzero momentum, PT(k) is a positive orthogonal projection of rank two, and the positive one-photon Hilbert space is its closed range HT⊂L2(R3,d3k;C3). This description chooses no global continuous polarization frame.

If an auxiliary four-polarization space K=L2(R3,d3k;C4) with indefinite form [ϵ,δ]=∫ϵ†ηδ d3k is used, the physical subsidiary space K0={ϵ:−ϵ0+n⋅ϵ=0 a.e.} has null radical N={b(k)(1,n):b∈L2}. The quotient K0/N is isometric to HT with positive inner product. The physical Fock Hamiltonian Hγ=ℏc dΓ(∣k∣) is self-adjoint, nonnegative, and has the exact domain and strongly continuous Lorentz-covariant mass-cone action in Photon quotient Lorentz representation and positive dynamics. The vector-valued auxiliary space is not a positive state space, and none of its negative directions is assigned a negative Born probability.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Countable Choice; the selected positive-transverse free-photon model; the exact transverse-space definition; and the inspected draft quotient and covariance carriers.

[A1]

Positive transverse free photon model: the adopted state space is the bosonic Fock space over the positive transverse one-photon Hilbert space, with free dynamics and smeared field-strength observables. The postulate has a current escalated Step 1 record because its local-Weyl input is escalated through the field-strength prerequisite. Its framework-units and C01 measurement inputs have current ready records. This is readiness evidence, not independent approval; the model is used conditionally.

[A2]

Countable Choice is assumed for the mathematical Fock construction. The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)

[F1]

Positive transverse photon one-particle space: for almost every k≠0, PT=I−nnT is an orthogonal projection with two-dimensional range; its multiplier range HT is closed and positive, and no global continuous polarization frame is selected. The draft carrier has a current ready Step 1 record for its item hash; this is not independent mathematical approval.

[F2]

Quantum field quantities and compatible SI normalizations: ℏ,c>0 are the exact SI defining constants, x0=ct, and physical energy is E=ℏcω for temporal wave number ω. Its draft carrier has a current ready Step 1 record for its item hash; this is readiness evidence, not independent mathematical approval.

[L1]

Lorenz auxiliary subsidiary null quotient: on K0={ϵ:−ϵ0+n⋅ϵ=0}, Tϵ=ϵ−nϵ0 is bounded and onto HT, [ϵ,δ]η=⟨Tϵ,Tδ⟩2, and its radical is N={b(k)(1,n):b∈L2}. Thus K0/N is a positive Hilbert space isometric to HT. The draft carrier has a current ready Step 1 record for its item hash; this is readiness, not independent mathematical approval.

[L2]

Photon quotient Lorentz representation and positive dynamics: the future-null-cone quotient action [s(p)]↦[Λs(Λ−1p)] is a strongly continuous unitary representation; its bosonic Fock lift has energy multiplier ∑r∣kr∣ with the exact maximal sector domain and vacuum energy zero, and physical four-momentum spectrum the closed future cone. The draft carrier has a current ready Step 1 record for its item hash; this is readiness, not independent mathematical approval.

[F3]

Second-quantized multipliers, joint spectral measure and exact domains: the bosonic sector-sum multiplier dΓ(∣k∣) is self-adjoint on its exact maximal square-integrability domain, with the vacuum sector at zero. Its draft carrier has a current ready Step 1 record for its item hash; this is readiness evidence, not independent mathematical approval.

Proof

Given: [A1]–[A2], [F1]–[F3], and the current conditional mathematical interfaces [L1]–[L2].

1.1A1F1algebra

For k≠0, ∣n∣2=1, so PT∗=PT and PT2=(I−nnT)2=I−2nnT+n(nTn)nT=PT. Its kernel is span⁡{n}, so its range is the two-dimensional plane n⊥. As a measurable bounded orthogonal projection, its multiplication operator is idempotent on L2. If PTur→u with PTur=ur, boundedness gives PTu=lim⁡rPTur=lim⁡rur=u; hence the range is closed. A change at k=0 changes no L2 vector because that singleton has Lebesgue measure zero. This gives a positive rank-two transverse fiber almost everywhere without selecting a polarization frame.

1.2L1given

By [L1], each ϵ∈K0 maps to a transverse vector Tϵ=ϵ−nϵ0, and [ϵ,ϵ]η=∥Tϵ∥HT2≥0. The kernel is exactly N, so the induced norm is positive on nonzero quotient classes. The supplier proves that T is onto and that the quotient is isometric to the complete Hilbert space HT; therefore no negative-norm auxiliary direction becomes a physical state in this quotient. This conclusion is conditional on the current draft interface.

2.1A1A2F2F3L2givenalgebra∎

The free Fock construction is understood under Countable Choice [A2]. By [F3], the unscaled multiplier dΓ(∣k∣) is self-adjoint on its exact maximal sector-sum domain. The physical energy operator in the selected model is Hγ=ℏc dΓ(∣k∣), so it has the same domain. In sector n it is multiplication by Hn=ℏc∑r=1n∣kr∣. Every summand is nonnegative and ℏc>0 by [F2], so Hn≥0; on the vacuum sector the empty sum is zero. The strongly continuous unitary Lorentz action follows from [L2]. These are properties of the selected free model and do not assert an interacting theory.

Local covariant free field-strength and Weyl observables

Physical scope

Gauge-invariant observables of the specified positive transverse free-photon Fock model, smeared with compactly supported real tests; local commutativity applies to spacelike-separated supports, while the Coulomb-gauge potential is not claimed local.

Statement

Assume Countable Choice The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω) for the constructed Fock representation. In the adopted model Positive transverse free photon model, let hab∈Cc∞(R1,3;R) be a real antisymmetric two-tensor test. By the natural field-strength normalization of Quantum field quantities and compatible SI normalizations, choose each component of hab with unit m−2. Since fab has unit m−2 and d4x has unit m4, f(h) below is dimensionless. The corresponding one-particle vector gh has profile unit m3/2 under the coefficient formula of Smeared Coulomb photon operator distribution: its effective test ji=−∂ahai has unit m−3, the Fourier integral contributes m1, and the factor (2ω)−1/2 contributes m1/2. Thus its Hilbert norm under d3k of unit m−3 is dimensionless, as is the Weyl parameter 2 gh. This is the test normalization adopted here, not a universal test-function unit. Here fab is the natural-normalized field-strength distribution of the selected free model, corresponding to Fab in the mathematical free-photon suppliers and distinct from the SI tensor FSI,ab. Its smearing f(h)=12∫fab(x)hab(x) d4x is a well-defined operator-valued distribution on the common finite-particle domain Dfin, not a pointwise field operator. It is gauge invariant and covariant under the selected free mass-cone unitary action. For two such tests with spacelike-separated supports, [f(h),f(ℓ)]=0 on Dfin. Let gh be the associated one-particle test vector and define the Weyl observable Wh:=WSegal(2 gh) as in Bounded local photon Weyl observable algebra. These are bounded unitaries of norm one; their real and imaginary parts are bounded Hermitian operators and commute for spacelike-separated supports. No locality claim is made for a Coulomb-gauge potential.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Countable Choice; the positive transverse free-photon model; the current field-strength carrier; and the current bounded Weyl-observable carrier at their inspected conditional interfaces.

[A1]

Positive transverse free photon model: the selected physical state space is the bosonic Fock space over the positive transverse one-particle space, and its smeared field strengths and bounded Weyl observables are adopted within that free model. It supplies no pointwise field-strength operator. The postulate has a current escalated Step 1 record and is used conditionally.

[A2]

Countable Choice is assumed by the transverse Fock, Segal-field, and Weyl-domain constructions. The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)

[F4]

Quantum field quantities and compatible SI normalizations: coordinates have unit metre, the natural field strength has unit m−2, and test-function units may be chosen so a specified smeared observable is dimensionless; no universal test unit is fixed.

[F5]

Smeared Coulomb photon operator distribution: the coefficient map is gj(k)=(2π)−3/2(2ω)−1/2PT(k)∫j(x)eiωx0−ik⋅x d4x, with ω=∣k∣ and d3k as the one-particle measure; Local covariant physical field-strength observables uses this map with ji=−∂ahai.

[F1]

Local covariant physical field-strength observables: for a real compactly supported antisymmetric test, F(h)=12∫Fabhab=−Ab(∂ahab) is a smeared operator on Dfin with one-particle vector gh; it is gauge invariant and covariant, its commutators are supported in the closed causal cone, and spacelike-separated supports commute. The draft carrier has a current escalated Step 1 decision because its scalar causal-commutator supplier remains escalated through QFT-MF01/MF02.

[L1]

Bounded local photon Weyl observable algebra: it defines WO(h)=WSegal(2 gh), proves this operator is unitary with the field-strength closure as generator, and proves that the norm-closed unital ∗-algebras generated in spacelike-separated regions commute. The draft carrier has a current escalated Step 1 decision because its field- strength prerequisite remains escalated; its Fock CCR and Segal-domain inputs have current ready records.

Proof

Given: [A1]–[A2], [F1], [F4]–[F5], and the conditional construction [L1].

1.1A1A2F1F4F5given

By [F4], the assigned units give the integrand fabhabd4x unit m−2 m−2 m4=1, so f(h) is dimensionless. By [F5], ji=−∂ahai has unit m−3; its spacetime Fourier integral has unit m, and (2ω)−1/2 has unit m1/2. Thus gh has profile unit m3/2 under d3k of unit m−3, making its Hilbert norm and 2 gh dimensionless. The current operator construction is conditional on Countable Choice [A2]. The test h is real, smooth, compactly supported, and antisymmetric, so it is an admissible input to [F1]. That carrier constructs F(h)=12∫Fabhab=−Ab(∂ahab) as a smearing on Dfin and supplies its one-particle vector gh. Consequently the present f(h) is exactly that free-model smearing under the stated natural-normalization identification; it does not assign an operator to fab(x) at a point. Gauge invariance and covariance follow from the same conditional carrier.

1.2A1F1L1given

Suppose the compact supports of h and ℓ are spacelike separated. Their difference set is compact and disjoint from the closed causal cone, so it has positive Euclidean distance from that closed set. Choose bounded small open neighborhoods Oh,Oℓ of the two supports whose difference set remains outside the cone. By [F1], the smeared field-strength commutator vanishes on Dfin. By [L1], Wh∈A(Oh) and Wℓ∈A(Oℓ), and these local algebras commute. Their adjoints and linear combinations belong to the same respective algebras; therefore the real and imaginary Hermitian parts of Wh,Wℓ commute. This is a conditional deduction in the selected free model, not an observed outcome.

2.1A1L1step 1.2algebra∎

By [L1], Wh is unitary, so ∥Wh∥=1. The operators (Wh+Wh∗)/2 and (Wh−Wh∗)/(2i) are self-adjoint, and the triangle inequality gives each norm at most one. They are therefore bounded local Hermitian observables in the adopted model.

Conditional classical charged gauge equations and current

Physical scope

The smooth local classical Maxwell–Dirac branch on an open flat Minkowski domain, with compactly supported variations and the stated SI signs; it does not assert a global coupled PDE solution, an interacting quantum representation, or a pointwise quantum current.

Statement

Assume Countable Choice The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω) for the selected free-field correspondence in Explicit charged Dirac/Maxwell local coupling model. Let U be an open subset of flat Minkowski spacetime with η=diag⁡(−1,1,1,1) and length coordinates x0=ct. Let ASI,a:U→R be a supplied C∞ covector potential, let ψ:U→C4 be a C∞ commuting spinor, and take a selected real charge qSI and mass mSI>0 with the conventions of Charge, canonical photon field and observer units and Charged gauge data and SI-natural conventions. Use independent compactly supported smooth variations of ASI and of both real and imaginary components of ψ. If (ASI,ψ) is stationary for the adopted classical action, then

(iγaDa−μ)ψ=0,∂aFSIab=−μ0jb,∂aja=0,

where Da=∂a−iqSIASI,a/ℏ, μ=mSIc/ℏ, and ja=qSIc ψˉγaψ. In laboratory components this current is ρq=qSIψ†ψ and Jq=qSIc ψ†αψ, so j=(cρq,Jq). With [ψ]=m−3/2, [qSI]=C, and [c]=m s−1, the charge density ρq has unit C m−3, while Jq and every component of ja have unit A m−2; here x0=ct, so j0=cρq has the same component unit as Jqi. Together with F=dA on the supplied potential domain, the field equation and Bianchi identity have exactly the smooth SI Maxwell signs in The microscopic vacuum Maxwell equations: smooth and weak branches. The current and spinor here are classical smooth commuting fields; this statement is not a construction of a pointwise quantum composite operator.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Countable Choice for the selected free-field representations; the adopted smooth local Maxwell–Dirac action; the actual QFT-MG01 Dirac variation interface; the SI tensor conventions; and the stated smoothness and compact-support hypotheses.

[A1]

Explicit charged Dirac/Maxwell local coupling model: the selected model adopts the smooth local Maxwell–Dirac action with Da=∂a−iqSIASI,a/ℏ, uses independent compactly supported variations, and asserts no interacting continuum representation or global PDE existence.

[A2]

Countable Choice is assumed for the selected free QFT representations. The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)

[A3]

The supplied fields ASI,a,ψ and gauge functions are smooth on the open set U, and stationarity is tested against every compactly supported smooth variation of the real potential and complex spinor components.

[F1]

Charge, canonical photon field and observer units: qn=qSIμ0c/ℏ, aa=ASI,a/μ0ℏc, qnaa=qSIASI,a/ℏ, and μ=mSIc/ℏ.

[F2]

The electromagnetic two-form, its observer decomposition and the four-current: F0i=−Ei/c, Fij=ϵijkBk, and a supplied potential gives Fμν=∂μAν−∂νAμ.

[F3]

Framework-local SI units, the vacuum constants and the exact/measured status of their values: ε0=(μ0c2)−1, qSI carries C, charge density carries C m−3, and current density carries A m−2.

[F4]

The microscopic vacuum Maxwell equations: smooth and weak branches: the smooth SI branch has div⁡E=ρ/ε0, curl⁡E=−∂tB, curl⁡B=μ0J+c−2∂tE, and div⁡B=0.

[F5]

Dirac Clifford matrices and energy projections: γ0=β, γi=βαi, ψˉ=ψ†β, β†=β, β2=I4, and the matrices α,β are Hermitian.

[F7]

Potential representations, gauge transformations and the Lorenz and Coulomb conditions: the SI potential convention is Aa↦Aa+∂aχ; no reachability or global gauge-fixing claim is part of that definition.

[F6]

A smooth bump between concentric Euclidean balls: every open Euclidean ball contains a nonnegative smooth compactly supported function that is positive on a smaller ball.

[F8]

Quantum field quantities and compatible SI normalizations: spacetime coordinates have length units, x0=ct with t in seconds and c in m s−1; physical energy is obtained from inverse-length wave number by E=ℏcω; the canonical spinor-field dimension is [ψ]=m−3/2.

[L1]

Dirac gauge covariance, action and conserved current (draft carrier; current Step 1 decision escalated through its QFT QED-gauge-data and Dirac-projection prerequisites: under Countable Choice, for smooth real natural potential aa and smooth commuting spinor on R4, compactly supported variations of the symmetrized Dirac density give (iγaDa−μ)ψ=0 and its adjoint; the density is invariant under the stated gauge transformation; on solutions ∂a(gψˉγaψ)=0, with natural current gψˉγaψ. Its exact Statement uses the free QFT gauge data and supplies the corresponding SI Dirac Hamiltonian density. The carrier does not state the Maxwell-field variation used below; that is derived from [A1]. The local test-function argument is repeated below on U, so no global extension of fields is assumed.

Proof

Given: [A1]–[A3], [F1]–[F8], and the conditional Dirac interface [L1].

1.1A1F1F2F7F8algebra

The action uses length coordinates x0=ct by [F8]. Put S0=μ0ℏc, aa=ASI,a/S0, and g=qSIμ0c/ℏ. Then gaa=qSIASI,a/ℏ by [F1], so the matter covariant derivative in [A1] is exactly Da=∂a−igaa in [L1]. For an SI gauge function χ, put α=χ/S0; then gα=qSIχ/ℏ. Thus the SI transformation of [A1] becomes aa↦aa+∂aα and ψ↦eigαψ. Differentiating the phase shows Da′ψ′=eigαDaψ; commuting smooth partial derivatives give F′=F.

1.2A1A2A3F5F6L1givenalgebra

Countable Choice [A2] is carried for the separately adopted free-field correspondence; the classical local variation below itself requires no choice operation. Let RD=(iγaDa−μ)ψ. The compact-support first-variation identity in [L1] is local: for every ζ∈Cc∞(U;C4), integration by parts in the symmetrized density gives δSDℏ=2Re⁡∫Uζ†βRD d4x. Indeed, the derivative terms use ∫UψˉγaDaζ=−∫U(Daψˉ)γaζ and −∫U(Daζˉ)γaψ=∫UζˉγaDaψ; there are no boundary terms because ζ is compactly supported. If RD(x0)≠0, continuity gives a ball B⊂U on which RD is nonzero. Choose ρ from [F6] supported in B and positive on a smaller ball, and set ζ=ρβRD. By [F5], ζ†βRD=ρ∣RD∣2, so the first variation is 2∫Uρ∣RD∣2d4x>0, contradicting stationarity. Therefore RD=0 on U, and taking its adjoint gives the adjoint Dirac equation. This is a local consequence of compact variations, not an existence claim.

2.1F1F5L1step 1.1step 1.2algebra

Multiplying the Dirac equation by ψˉ gives iψˉγaDaψ=μψˉψ; multiplying its adjoint by ψ gives −i(Daψˉ)γaψ=μψˉψ. Subtracting the equations gives (Daψˉ)γaψ+ψˉγaDaψ=0. Expanding Daψˉ=∂aψˉ+igaaψˉ and Daψ=∂aψ−igaaψ cancels the two gauge-potential terms, leaving ∂a(ψˉγaψ)=0. The natural current in [L1] is jna=gψˉγaψ. By step 1.1, S0g=μ0qSIc, so the SI current associated to ∂aFSIab=−μ0jb is ja=(S0/μ0)jna=qSIcψˉγaψ and is conserved because the conversion factor is constant. Using [F5], j0=qSIcψ†ψ and ji=qSIcψ†αiψ, hence j=(cρq,Jq) with the displayed SI charge and current densities.

Write the natural action density from [A1] as −14fabfab+LD. For a real compactly supported variation δab, antisymmetry of fab gives δ(−14fabfab)=−fab∂aδab. The matter variation is δLD=i2[ψˉγb(−igδab)ψ−(igδabψˉ)γbψ]=gψˉγbψ δab. Integrating the Maxwell term by parts and using compact support therefore gives δSℏ=∫U(∂afab+gψˉγbψ)δab d4x. By [F5], ψˉγ0ψ=ψ†ψ and ψˉγiψ=ψ†αiψ are real. If a component Gb=∂afab+gψˉγbψ were nonzero at a point, continuity would give a ball in U on which it has fixed nonzero sign. Choose a nonnegative bump ρ there using [F6] and vary only ab by δab=ρ. The displayed variation would then be nonzero, contrary to stationarity. Thus every Gb vanishes pointwise and ∂afab=−gψˉγbψ. Since FSIab=S0fab and S0g=μ0qSIc, this is exactly ∂aFSIab=−μ0jb. For b=0, [F2] gives ∂aFa0=−div⁡E/c, so the source equation becomes div⁡E=μ0c2ρq=ρq/ε0 by [F3]. For b=i, [F2] gives ∂aFai=c−2∂tEi−(curl⁡B)i, which yields curl⁡B=μ0Jq+c−2∂tE. Finally, F=dA and commuting partial derivatives give ∂[aFbc]=0, whose spatial components are div⁡B=0 and curl⁡E=−∂tB. These are the smooth equations in [F4], derived conditionally from the adopted action; they are not evidence that the model describes nature.

4.1F3F5F8givenalgebra∎

By [F8], [ψ]=m−3/2, and [F3] gives [qSI]=C, so [ρq]=[qSIψ†ψ]=C m−3. Since [c]=m s−1 and the matrices α are dimensionless by [F5], [Jq]=C m−2 s−1=A m−2. Therefore [j0]=[cρq]=A m−2, and each spatial component ji=Jqi has the same unit. These are units of the classical current in length coordinates x0=ct, not units of a quantum operator product.

Periodic neutral classical Coulomb constraint model

Physical scope

The explicit smooth, periodic, neutral Gauss branch on a flat three-torus, with a zero-mean Coulomb potential, plus the separate finite-mode classical commuting-spinor primary-constraint calculation; no nonneutral periodic solution, continuum quantum density product, or CAR derivation is asserted.

Statement

Assume Countable Choice The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω) for the torus Fourier construction. Let L>0, let I⊆R be an open time interval, and let the spatial domain be the flat torus TL3=(R/LZ)3, where L is a positive length in metres. Coordinates use x0=ct with t in seconds under Quantum field quantities and compatible SI normalizations. Use the smooth classical branch of Explicit charged Dirac/Maxwell local coupling model with smooth periodic electromagnetic potentials and spinor. Here ψ has the canonical length dimension m−3/2 of Quantum field quantities and compatible SI normalizations, so the scalar-potential source ρq:=qSIψ†ψ has unit C,m−3. On stationary solutions it agrees with the current density in Conditional classical charged gauge equations and current. Use the gamma-matrix and α,β conventions of Charged gauge data and SI-natural conventions. In Coulomb gauge div⁡A=0, the multiplier equation for any smooth periodic configuration is div⁡πA+ρq=0. On the explicitly neutral branch ∫TL3ρq(x,t) d3x=0 for every t∈I, the zero-mean scalar potential is the unique smooth periodic solution of −Δφ=ρq/ε0. With ρ^q(n,t)=L−3∫TL3ρq(x,t)e−2πin⋅x/L d3x and κn=2πn/L, the longitudinal energy is

ε02∫TL3∣∇φ∣2 d3x=12∫TL3ρqφ d3x=L32ε0∑n∈Z3∖{0}∣ρ^q(n,t)∣2∣κn∣2≥0.

The corresponding classical Hamiltonian, before imposing the Gauss constraint, contains

H=∫TL3[∣πA∣22ε0+∣B∣22μ0+ψ† ⁣(cα⋅(−iℏ∇−qSIA)+βmSIc2) ⁣ψ+φ(div⁡πA+ρq)]d3x,

with πφ=0 the primary multiplier momentum. In a separate finite mode truncation, fix N≥1 time-independent modes u1,…,uN∈C∞(TL3;C4) satisfying ∫TL3uj(x)†uk(x) d3x=δjk. Restrict the commuting spinor field to ψN(x,t)=∑j=1Nzj(t)uj(x), where zj∈C∞(I;C) and zˉj=zj‾. Under the canonical field normalization [ψ]=m−3/2, these modes have unit m−3/2 and the amplitudes zj are dimensionless. This is only a kinematic restriction of field configurations; the mode subspace is not asserted invariant under the field equations or to contain a solution on the neutral branch.

For its finite-dimensional canonical phase space PN=R4N, use real coordinates (xj,yj,Pjx,Pjy)j=1N and, for F,G∈C1(PN;C), the Poisson bracket {F,G}=∑j=1N(∂F∂xj∂G∂Pjx−∂F∂Pjx∂G∂xj+∂F∂yj∂G∂Pjy−∂F∂Pjy∂G∂yj), extended complex-bilinearly. Define zj=xj+iyj, zˉj=xj−iyj, pj=(Pjx−iPjy)/2, and pˉj=(Pjx+iPjy)/2. These definitions give {zj,pk}=δjk, {zˉj,pˉk}=δjk, and all other elementary brackets zero. Substitution into the adopted action gives the velocity-dependent part of the finite-mode physical Lagrangian Lkin=iℏ2∑j=1N(zˉjz˙j−zˉ˙jzj). Its primary constraints are Cj=pj−iℏzˉj/2 and Cˉj=pˉj+iℏzj/2. For ℏ>0 their constraint matrix is M=(0−iℏINiℏIN0), which is invertible; the reduced bracket satisfies {zj,zˉk}D=−iδjk/ℏ and {zj,zk}D={zˉj,zˉk}D=0. This finite-dimensional classical calculation does not derive fermionic CAR. The neutral torus branch is an explicit hypothesis. For the selected electron, qSI=−eSI≠0, so a neutral single-species commuting-spinor configuration has ψ=0; no nontrivial neutral charged classical Dirac configuration is asserted. The finite-mode constraint calculation is separate and does not claim to be a solution in that branch.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The adopted local Maxwell–Dirac action; Countable Choice for the torus Fourier supplier; the current Coulomb and finite-mode mathematical carriers at their inspected conditional interfaces; and the SI and Clifford conventions stated below.

[A1]

Explicit charged Dirac/Maxwell local coupling model: the model adopts the smooth local Maxwell–Dirac action with physical source function from the scalar-potential coupling; it is a physical formulation, not a global solution theorem.

[A2]

The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω): Countable Choice, written ACω, is assumed by the torus Fourier supplier.

[A3]

On the explicitly selected electron neutral branch, ∫TL3ρq(x,t) d3x=0 for every t∈I. The separate finite-mode calculation does not assume this branch solves the classical field equations.

[A4]

For the separate finite-mode calculation, fix the time-independent orthonormal family uj∈C∞(TL3;C4) and the finite ansatz ψN=∑jzjuj from the Statement. Its periodic lift is a kinematic restriction of configurations; it is not assumed to be an invariant solution space.

[F1]

Charge, canonical photon field and observer units: qSI is in coulombs, the selected electron has qSI=−eSI, and ε0=(μ0c2)−1; the metric-lowered potential is ASI,0=−φ/c.

[F2]

The electromagnetic two-form, its observer decomposition and the four-current: F0i=−Ei/c and Fij=ϵijkBk; a supplied smooth potential gives F=dA.

[F3]

The microscopic vacuum Maxwell equations: smooth and weak branches: the smooth SI branch has div⁡E=ρ/ε0 and curl⁡B=μ0J+c−2∂tE.

[F4]

Conditional classical charged gauge equations and current: on stationary smooth fields in the adopted model, the current density is qSIψ†ψ; this agrees with the scalar-potential source function defined here.

[F5]

Dirac Clifford matrices and energy projections: γ0=β, γi=βαi, ψˉ=ψ†β, β†=β, β2=I4, and α,β are Hermitian.

[F6]

Charged gauge data and SI-natural conventions: the SI charge and mass inputs convert to g=qSIμ0c/ℏ and μ=mSIc/ℏ in the natural action, with aa=ASI,a/μ0ℏc.

[F7]

Quantum field quantities and compatible SI normalizations: coordinates have units metre with x0=ct, and c,ℏ>0 have their exact SI defining values.

[F8]

Quantum field quantities and compatible SI normalizations: the canonical spinor field dimension is [ψ]=m−3/2; the L2(d3x) normalization in the Statement therefore assigns unit m−3/2 to each uj and makes the coefficients zj dimensionless.

[L1]

Gauss multiplier and smooth periodic Coulomb solver (draft carrier; current Step 1 decision escalated because its QFT QED-gauge-data prerequisite is escalated: for smooth real periodic ρ and J on TL3, with smooth periodic potentials and positive L,ε0,μ0, the canonical Hamiltonian has multiplier term ϕ(∇⋅πA+ρ); Coulomb gauge reduces the constraint to −Δϕ=ρ/ε0. Neutrality is necessary; for zero-mean data the unique zero-mean smooth solution has the stated Fourier coefficients and nonnegative energy identity. This is a conditional solver for smooth periodic data, not a quantum density-product construction.

[L2]

Finite-mode Dirac first-order constraint reduction (draft carrier; current Step 1 decision escalated because its QFT QED-gauge-data prerequisite is escalated: for finite N≥1 commuting spinor-mode coordinates with the displayed complex canonical brackets and ℏ>0, the first-order kinetic term gives Cj=pj−iℏzˉj/2 and Cˉj=pˉj+iℏzj/2 with invertible constraint matrix M=(0−iℏINiℏIN0). The reduced bracket is {zj,zˉk}D=−iδjk/ℏ and the result is a finite classical commuting-coordinate calculation; it does not derive CAR.

Proof

Given: [A1]–[A4], [F1]–[F8], and the current conditional interfaces [L1]–[L2].

1.1A1F1F4F5F6F7givenalgebra

In the adopted action, ρq:=qSIψ†ψ is the coefficient of the scalar-potential coupling. For the Dirac part, x0=ct and A0=−φ/c give D0ψ=c−1(ψ˙+iqSIφψ/ℏ) and D0ψˉ=c−1(ψˉ˙−iqSIφψˉ/ℏ). Using [F5], the time part of ℏcLnat is the canonical term iℏ(ψ†ψ˙−ψ˙†ψ)/2 minus qSIφψ†ψ. The symmetric spatial derivative, integrated by parts on the periodic torus, is iℏcψ†α⋅∇ψ: the integral of ∇⋅(ψ†αψ) vanishes because opposite periodic faces cancel. The spatial vector-coupling term in the Lagrangian is qSIcψ†α⋅Aψ, and the mass term is −mSIc2ψ†βψ. The first-order canonical momenta are iℏψ†/2 and −iℏψ/2, so their pairing with the time derivatives cancels the canonical term. Negating the remaining Dirac Lagrangian terms in the Legendre transform gives the matter Hamiltonian density ψ†[cα⋅(−iℏ∇−qSIA)+βmSIc2+qSIφ]ψ, whose scalar term is φρq. On stationary fields this source agrees with [F4].

1.2A1A4F1F5F7F8givenalgebra

For the finite-mode branch [A4], interpret the local density in [A1] on the torus by its periodic lift and integrate over one spatial fundamental cell. Since x0=ct, the physical Lagrangian is L(t)=ℏc∫TL3Lnat d3x. Using ψˉγ0=ψ†, the part containing time derivatives of the spinor is iℏ2∫TL3(ψN†ψ˙N−ψ˙N†ψN) d3x. The A0 coupling and all spatial and mass terms contain no z˙j. Substitution of ψN=∑jzjuj and the stated orthonormality give exactly Lkin=iℏ2∑j(zˉjz˙j−zˉ˙jzj). In the canonical normalization [F8], each uj has unit m−3/2 and each zj is dimensionless; since [ℏ]=J s and [z˙j]=s−1, the displayed Lkin has unit joule. This restriction supplies the finite-mode kinetic term but does not assert that the selected mode subspace is invariant under the field equations.

1.3A4L2givenalgebra

In the real canonical coordinates of the Statement, {xj,Pkx}={yj,Pky}=δjk and the mixed coordinate-momentum brackets vanish. Substitution of z=x+iy and p=(Px−iPy)/2 therefore gives the displayed complex canonical brackets. Writing Lkin=ℏ∑j(yjx˙j−xjy˙j) gives real canonical momenta Pjx=ℏyj and Pjy=−ℏxj, hence pj=iℏzˉj/2 and pˉj=−iℏzj/2. These are precisely the primary constraints in the Statement. The verified finite-dimensional hypotheses of [L2] then give its displayed constraint matrix and inverse, the second-class conclusion, and reduced bracket {zj,zˉk}D=−iδjk/ℏ. This is a commuting classical coordinate calculation and does not derive fermionic CAR.

2.1A1F1F2step 1.1givenalgebra

From [F1]–[F3], S02=μ0ℏc and FSI=S0f, so the physical Maxwell Lagrangian density is −FabSIFSIab/(4μ0). The tensor conventions [F2] give FabSIFSIab=2(∣B∣2−∣E∣2/c2); using ε0=(μ0c2)−1 from [F1], this becomes LM=ε0∣A˙+∇φ∣2/2−∣B∣2/(2μ0). Differentiating with respect to A˙ gives πA=ε0(A˙+∇φ)=−ε0E; there is no φ˙ term, so πφ=0. Since A˙=πA/ε0−∇φ, the Maxwell Legendre transform is ∣πA∣2/(2ε0)+∣B∣2/(2μ0)−πA⋅∇φ. Integrating the last term by parts on the torus gives +φ∇⋅πA; opposite periodic faces cancel. Adding the matter Hamiltonian from step 1.1 gives exactly the Hamiltonian in the Statement, including φ(∇⋅πA+ρq).

3.1A1F1F3step 2.1algebra

Varying the unrestricted multiplier φ in step 2.1 imposes ∇⋅πA+ρq=0. Substituting πA=−ε0E gives ε0∇⋅E=ρq. In Coulomb gauge, ∇⋅E=−Δφ because ∇⋅A˙=0, so the constraint becomes −Δφ=ρq/ε0. This is the Gauss sign in [F3]. The multiplier equation holds for every smooth periodic source; neutrality is needed only for a periodic solution.

4.1A2F1L1step 3.1algebra

Under the neutral-branch hypothesis in the Statement, the smoothness, periodicity, and zero-mean hypotheses of [L1] hold at each t∈I. It supplies the unique zero-mean Fourier solution and energy identity. Each summand is nonnegative because ε0>0 by [F1] and ∣2πn/L∣2>0 for n≠0; hence the longitudinal energy is nonnegative. This remains conditional on the current draft solver and Countable Choice and asserts no solution for nonneutral data.

5.1A3F1step 1.1algebra∎

On the neutral branch [A3], [F1] and step 1.1 give ρq=−eSIψ†ψ and ∫TL3ψ†ψ d3x=0 because eSI>0. The integrand is continuous and nonnegative. If it were positive at any point, continuity would make it positive on a ball of positive volume, forcing a positive integral. Thus it vanishes everywhere and ψ=0. The finite-mode calculation of step 1.2 is logically separate and does not assert a solution in this neutral branch.
