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.

No stronger angular-momentum coefficient is asserted in this unchanged maximal-section time gauge.

The two independently cited quotient inputs are recorded in External input. The normalized-end supplier's Statement supplies the same chart , the identity , and the potential-defined compactification with the regularity and normalization hypotheses (17)–(19). Thus the cited analytic compactification and conformal-factor results apply to this chosen chart. Stationary end normalization from quotient compactification

Source 0, (2.34) and (2.72), gives and . Its multipole theorem is the weak-decay input used by the normalized-end supplier; its particular spatial gauge is not assumed to be the chart .

Proof
Given: The complete hypotheses in the Statement, in ZFC.
Goal: Establish the mass and decay conclusions while retaining the original maximal section.
Keep the original time and put , . The inverse estimates in [F2] imply , and for . For any , repeated chain differentiation of has factors and with . Bounded first derivatives and the stronger bounds for give . The tensor transformation law at fixed is , , . Therefore and . The scalar is independent of stationary time gauge, so the normalized chart in [F2] gives with its full differentiated remainder. This last remainder is not inferred merely from .
On a far tail put and . Then stays negative and away from zero, and [F3] gives . The decomposition in [F5] gives the metric of the original section as , so . Thus neither this connection estimate nor its differentiated version requires taking the section .
To compute the ADM limit in this same gauge, use the analytic compact quotient data in [F5]. Write , and . By [F4], ; analyticity gives for a fixed vector . The inversion differential is , with . Since , transforming back gives ; the differentiated remainder follows by differentiating the convergent analytic series after inversion. An orthogonal adjustment of merely rotates . Dividing by and using step 2.1 yields , where . This allows the possible dipole term of this conformal gauge instead of identifying it with the distinct multipole gauge of source 0.
For , the ADM integrand contracted with the Euclidean outward normal is . The tensor remainder contributes pointwise and hence after integration. On the unit sphere by antipodal symmetry and . Consequently the ADM integral divided by tends to . This is a direct calculation on the unchanged section.
Under , and , the new components equal , since both coordinate differentials contribute a factor . Step 1.1 and the chain rule give exactly the three stated mass-one component bounds, and . On a coordinate sphere the derivative in the ADM integrand contributes , while Euclidean area contributes relative to the old sphere of radius ; its unit radial vector is unchanged. Thus the ADM limit is times the limit in step 4.1, hence one. By [F1] the same section remains maximal and Ricci-flatness is preserved.
Apply only the spatial cutoff diffeomorphism in [F2] to the original section chart. It fixes a neighborhood of and agrees with on the far end; no time graph is introduced. If its radial coordinate is , choose sufficiently large that . A smooth positive derivative can equal near and near and have integral : choose short endpoint collars with total integral smaller than this positive number, then adjust a positive interior profile to give the remaining integral. Integrating and using below , above , gives a smooth increasing radial diffeomorphism fixing radius one. The chart therefore retains the sphere at radius one and agrees with sufficiently far out. All claims concern the original section; no leading angular-momentum term in its time gauge was used.

The stationary decomposition is g=V(dt+a)^2+h_quot and h-bar=(-V)h_quot. Twice-differentiated weak quotient falloff admits spatial multipole gauges, with h-bar=delta+O_infinity(r^-2) and V=-1+2M/r+O_infinity(r^-2).
Hypotheses: Timelike stationary Ricci-flat spherical quotient tail; V+1, normalized twist and h-bar-delta are O_2(r^-alpha), 1/2<alpha<1.
Reading limits: Consulted these displayed passages in the online PDF. Import the multipole result; no reconstruction or reading of its 1981 primary reference is claimed. Its leading spatial gauge is not silently identified with the analytic normal-coordinate gauge below.
The conformal quotient metric gamma is analytic in normal coordinates xi at infinity; the potential-defined conformal factor has Omega=|xi|^2 f_Omega, with f_Omega analytic, positive and f_Omega(0)=1.
Hypotheses: Stationary vacuum timelike quotient with the potential-defined factor (17), C^{2,alpha} factor, C^{4,alpha} conformal metric and normalization (18)–(19).
Reading limits: Consulted exactly these hypotheses, theorem, normal-coordinate paragraph and lemma in the online PDF. Applicability and the identity of the selected chart are supplied by the normalized-end Statement. No proof reconstruction or maximality of Dain’s time section is claimed.
