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.
Corollary 4.1: area and pointwise limiting flux rigidity
PDF p. 1: Abstract; PDF p. 7: §1.4; PDF p. 27: Corollary 4.1 and proof
Statement
Adopt the regular non-degenerate stationary vacuum construction, with its original exterior section spacelike and maximal, ADM mass one and stationary Killing field not identically zero on the bifurcation sphere . Use the single primitive and regular Harrison family , , supplied in this construction, with the mass-one end normalization required by the Harrison flux theorem. Work in ZFC. Orient by the outward end-sphere convention and set and . Define by and . Then
pointwise on . The area radius, defined as , is therefore one. Moreover and .
Facts & Assumptions
The stationary vacuum model, regular spacetime, maximal section and mass-one convention are specified by Stationary vacuum model and asymptotic normalization, Regular non-degenerate stationary vacuum spacetime, Spacelike sections, maximality and lapse–shift data and Mass-one convention and Harrison denominator. ZFC includes The Axiom of Choice.
The upper area theorem gives ; the lower area theorem gives for sufficiently small . Theorem 4.1: limiting horizon area upper bound Theorem 4.2: charged horizon area lower bound
The regular Harrison result gives a jointly smooth metric family on a neighborhood of the fixed sphere and a two-form family continuous in and smooth in spacetime. Proposition 2.1: Einstein–Maxwell equations and regularity For , the spacelike section supplied by the stable-bifurcation result makes Riemannian; at , the upper-area interface treats as spacelike, so is Riemannian as well.

For each , the stable-bifurcation result supplies an individually admissible maximal section and a smooth spacelike extension across , in which the compact sphere has an outward normal-graph tube. These are precisely the section, extension and tube hypotheses of the stable-horizon result, which gives for this .

On a fixed compact oriented surface, the compact-flux lemma gives convergence of area and of the flux and squared-density integrals under uniform convergence of Riemannian metrics and their associated restricted two-forms. It also proves pointwise , when area and electric flux are both and the squared-density integral is at most . Compact flux saturation and pointwise density rigidity

Proof
Given: The construction and hypotheses in the Statement.
Goal: Prove the limiting area, flux identities, and pointwise rigidity.
Proof technique: direct.
Let decrease to zero. On the compact fixed sphere, the metric regularity in [F2] gives uniform convergence . In local positively oriented coordinates the component formula in [F6] expresses the Hodge star algebraically in the metric, its inverse and the oriented volume density. Since the limiting Lorentzian metric is nondegenerate, the same regularity and continuity give uniform convergence of the restricted forms and to their counterparts. The convergence assertion of [F5] therefore applies to area, flux and squared-density integrals.
Passing to the limit in the lower area bound of [F1] gives ; its upper bound gives the reverse inequality. Thus . For each , use its section, extension and tube from [F3] to obtain the stable-horizon estimate. Passing to the limit with step 1.1 gives . Likewise [F4] and step 1.1 give and .
The sphere is compact, connected, oriented and smooth; is a smooth positive measure and are continuous. The equality assertion of [F5], with the three integral conditions from step 2.1, gives and at every point. Equivalently, expansion of the nonnegative integrand gives . The area-radius definition and give radius one.
