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.
Equivariant global Harrison primitive under weak original data
Statement
Work in ZFC. Let be smooth oriented, time-oriented stationary Lorentzian data of signature , with on the open region under consideration. Supply an open exterior and a smooth embedded spacelike three-manifold with boundary , whose interior lies in . Write for this radial parameter. The supplied product is specifically the stationary-flow diffeomorphism , , so and the specified original section is . Near , require the exterior attachment to be the outward spacelike wedge: in a sufficiently small normal-exponential tube , consists precisely of , where is a future unit normal of and is its unit spacelike normal pointing toward the specified side . Here the tube frame is orthonormal; the same wedge is obtained in any smooth orthonormal normal frame with these time and side orientations. This is a boundary attachment hypothesis, not a product diffeomorphism extending through .
On the original end of use Cartesian coordinates , , extended by . This physical radius is independent of the topological product radius . For every sufficiently large , require the physical truncation to be a compact smooth region with boundary , where , containing a relative neighborhood of . Require these nested physical truncations to exhaust , and the physical closed tails to be closed in and disjoint from . These are end-attachment and compactness hypotheses, with no equality of the two radii required; the previous special case on a far tail satisfies them. The weak mass-one end means , and , with future timelike on a far tail. The notation means for , uniformly in direction for sufficiently large ; means these bounds at every finite order.
Supply a smooth Ernst potential on and a connected neighborhood of , with , , and on the specified end. On a neighborhood of supply commuting Killing fields , with for a constant , , and a smooth isometric circle action generated by , preserving and having period . The constant nonzero normal boost rate means that, for and , the differential of the flow on the normal bundle acts by for one constant . Supply with .
Then there is one smooth stationary real one-form on and a neighborhood of , with , , and . It is locally invariant near , and on the unchanged original end it has the form with . Any supplied maximality of the original section is retained. No stronger same-section asymptotic expansion is assumed.

Differentiated end bounds use the Cartesian convention. The end-normalization lemma applies to a smooth stationary Ricci-flat end with these weak metric bounds and positive mass; it supplies an auxiliary all-order stationary chart for the same , related by a spatial end diffeomorphism and an exact stationary time change.

On a supplied spherical product every smooth closed one-form is exact, and a smooth closed two-form is exact when its generator-sphere period is zero. General Stokes applies to the compact oriented three-dimensional section regions with boundary: the restricted two-form has compact support because the whole region is compact, and boundary orientation is outward-normal-first. The corresponding chain identity is also available. Pullback of a form is smooth and commutes with exterior differentiation. Work in ZFC, carrying Choice through these suppliers and the tube construction; no further choice principle is introduced.

Proof
Given: The full geometric, product, boundary, weak-end and potential hypotheses in the Statement, in ZFC.
Goal: Construct the stated single smooth stationary primitive while retaining the original section.
The vacuum identities give , and . Thus . In an oriented orthonormal coframe of signature , direct expansion of a real two-form gives . Contracting this identity with gives , hence . Alternation gives , so and are stationary; the Killing flow preserves the metric, its connection and its oriented Hodge star.
In the original stationary end, gives and . The inverse metric has , bounded diagonal blocks and bounded differentiated volume factors. In the component formula for , the spatial components use and are , while uses raised spatial components and is ; the terms involving in those raised spatial components have the additional factor . Therefore . The end normalization and integration along each radial ray give ; the differential equation supplies its derivatives of orders one through six with the required gains, so . Since , the product rules give and .
The mass in the original weak end is , the metric is smooth, stationary and Ricci-flat, and a far tail has future timelike . All end-normalization hypotheses in [F2] hold. Apply that supplier to obtain for the same , with , , , and smooth transition , . The supplied normalized potential has the same limit along this end diffeomorphism. Repeating the component calculation of step 2.1 at each finite order gives , , and . Together with step 1.1 and original , these are all the additional hypotheses of the smooth weak-end primitive in [F5]. It supplies a smooth stationary on a far tail with contraction constant and original spatial coefficients . The auxiliary chart is used only to construct this primitive.
On the original section, the sphere integral of is by step 2.1, since Cartesian sphere tangent vectors contribute the area factor . Use the supplied physical truncation , oriented by the future normal and spacetime orientation, with outward end-sphere orientation on and the orientation toward the exterior on . Its boundary is . The restricted form is smooth through and has compact support on this compact region. Stokes in [F3] gives , so passage to infinity gives . Independently, the topological product gives a compact smooth region for any . Stokes on it gives zero integral over its sphere . The stationary product and [F3] therefore supply a smooth primitive of on . Its pullback to satisfies , where is the descended spatial form of . To obtain a surface primitive without extending to the boundary, set and pull it back to . This is a closed two-form of zero sphere period, so [F3] makes it exact on that product. Restricting its smooth primitive to one slice yields a smooth on with . No physical sphere is identified with a topological coordinate sphere.
The fields preserve the metric and commute with , hence preserve . Their derivatives of are constant on the connected neighborhood. Since , ; integrating the constant around one full circle gives . Thus preserve and . Start with the normal frame supplied by the smooth spacelike boundary and [F4], average its future normal over the circle and normalize. Its unique orthogonal unit spacelike companion in the specified outward component is smooth and invariant as well; the connected circle preserves that component. Thus the resulting frame is orthonormal with the original time and side orientations. Pointwise, two such frames are related by , , where and , by their orthonormality and the two orientations. If , then and . Since , the condition is equivalent to . Consequently the prescribed outward wedge is unchanged in the invariant frame. Every isometry preserves the metric-selected connection by its uniqueness, and therefore preserves geodesics by the initial-value uniqueness in [F4]. Consequently its differential action on the normal bundle intertwines the exponential map. Fibre dilations commute with that linear action. Shrink the tube uniformly over compact , retaining the full circle action and dilation stability; the equivariance is on every defined local flow domain. Average and apply relative homotopy and equivariant normalization with this tube. The resulting smooth satisfies , local invariance and . At , gives , so .
In the invariant tube frame put , . Exponential equivariance and the specified normal boost make the local flow exactly while it stays in the tube. Its outward wedge is . The section is locally a graph with : at , projection to is nonsingular on its tangent space because its normal-plane tangent direction is spacelike. The smooth inverse function theorem, local extension across the boundary and compactness give a uniform graph neighborhood. Spacelikeness gives , and after shrinking there is one with for . For a local wedge orbit set and center its parameter so that at time zero. Then and . Choose with . At the two times with , the continuous function has opposite signs. For sufficiently small the whole bounded-time segment is in the graph neighborhood, so [F6] gives an intersection with the section. It has for a fixed . The global stationary product makes this intersection unique on the full orbit.
Choose a section collar small enough to lie in the tube and set . Transport from this collar by the global stationary product. Uniqueness of the product's section point defines one smooth stationary form on , with the same exterior derivative and contraction constant, since these identities hold near each section point and are preserved by the stationary flow. For every point of a sufficiently small outward tube, step 5.1 places its unique section point in . The segment joining them stays inside the larger tube: and vary monotonically, so each is bounded by its endpoint values, and the entire sphere factor is allowed. Local invariance of along this segment shows that the transport equals there. The section point tends uniformly to as , by the bound . Hence there is a smaller whole neighborhood of with , and on . The stated wedge attachment ensures that every point of is in this argument. No injectivity of a time product at , where may vanish, is used.
Apply the stationary lift to from step 3.2, using , to obtain a smooth stationary on with and . Choose sufficiently large that the physical tail lies in the end-primitive domain of step 3.1. Its closed tail is disjoint from by the supplied end-attachment hypothesis. Shrink the topological section collar so that its closure lies in the relative neighborhood of compact , and shrink again by step 6.1 for that smaller collar. The stationary product then makes disjoint from . Both and are stationary products of with a spherical annulus, hence have exact closed one-forms by [F3]. In particular the differences and are exact there. Their contractions with vanish, so every scalar primitive of a difference satisfies . Use the smooth step function of [F6] in to choose for and for ; choose and define using the same step function in the physical radius , zero for and one for , extended by zero off the physical end. Both cutoffs are transported by the stationary product. The end cutoff is smooth across its extension seam because it vanishes on an end neighborhood of that seam; its support in lies in the closed stationary lift of . The supplied closed-tail condition and the product diffeomorphism justify that closure assertion. The horizon cutoff has support inside because its nonzero set is confined to , with a positive gap from the outer edge of . Thus these are smooth stationary functions with supports in the respective disjoint regions, using only at the horizon and only at the end. All hypotheses of stationary exact gluing now hold, including the whole-neighborhood intersection in step 6.1. Its output equals on a neighborhood of , equals on a far tail, and globally satisfies , stationarity and . It inherits the local invariance and original spatial decay. The original section and any of its supplied maximality remain fixed.
