Space-time distributional identities restricted to time slices #
Testing a space-time distributional identity against a product ψ(x)θ(t) of a
spatial test function and a time cutoff and separating the variables gives, for
each fixed ψ, a slice identity valid for almost every time. The exceptional
null set produced this way depends on ψ.
This file removes that dependence. Starting from the family of slice
identities indexed by ψ, the countable subfamily indexed by the mollifier
bumps centred at the points of a countable dense set yields a single null set,
and slice_pairing_zero_of_mollifier_family upgrades the countable family back
to every test function. The result is the almost-everywhere slice statement
used in paper/ckn.tex: for almost every time, the slice is divergence free in
the sense of distributions, with one null set serving every test function.
The pairing covered is the spatial divergence pairing ∑ᵢ fᵢ ∂ᵢψ. Its
full-space form is exactly the slice hypothesis consumed by the pressure
module's force-cancellation results.
One null set for every test function, divergence form. If for each smooth
compactly supported ψ supported in the open set Ω the slice divergence
pairing of f vanishes for almost every time, and almost every slice of f is
locally integrable on Ω, then for almost every time the slice divergence
pairing vanishes for every such ψ.
The full-space divergence statement. For almost every time the slice
f(·, s) is divergence free in the sense of distributions, tested against every
smooth compactly supported spatial test function. The conclusion is stated in
the unfolded form used by the pressure module: it reads
∀ᵐ s, DistributionalDivergenceFree (fun x => f (x, s)).
