The parabolic ball and its volume #
This file records the literal displays of paper/ckn.tex that describe the
open parabolic ball 𝔅_r(z) of the metric dpar (equation
eq:parabolic-ball and Lemma lem:parabolic-metric):
𝔅_r(z) = B_r(x) × (t - r², t + r²)forz = (x, t);C_r(z) ⊆ 𝔅_r(z)and𝔅_r(z) ⊆ C_{2r}(x, t + r²), whereC_r(z)is the parabolic cylinderB_r(x) × (t - r², t];|𝔅_r(z)| = (8π/3) r⁵.
The spatial ball vec3Ball x r uses the Euclidean norm on Fin 3 → ℝ
(vec3EuclideanNorm), so its volume is computed by transporting Mathlib's
volume of the Euclidean ball in EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin 3) along the
measure-preserving equivalence WithLp.toLp 2.
Equation eq:parabolic-ball: the open parabolicDist-ball of radius r
about z = (x, t) is the product of the Euclidean ball vec3Ball x r with the
open time interval (t - r², t + r²).
Lemma lem:parabolic-metric: the parabolic cylinder C_r(z) is contained
in the open ball 𝔅_r(z) of the same center and radius. Every point of the
cylinder with time coordinate exactly t lies in the open time interval
(t - r², t + r²) because r > 0.
Lemma lem:parabolic-metric: the open parabolic ball 𝔅_r(z) is contained
in the cylinder of radius 2r based at (x, t + r²), i.e.
𝔅_r(z) ⊆ C_{2r}(x, t + r²).
The volume of the open Euclidean ball of radius r centred at the origin
of Vec3 = Fin 3 → ℝ, namely (4π/3) r³. The Euclidean norm on Fin 3 → ℝ
is the L² norm, so this is Mathlib's EuclideanSpace.volume_ball_fin_three,
transported along the measure-preserving equivalence WithLp.toLp 2.
The volume of the open Euclidean ball of radius r centred at any point of
Vec3, namely (4π/3) r³; this is volume_vec3Ball_zero together with
translation invariance of Lebesgue measure.
The volume of the parabolic ball: |𝔅_r(z)| = (8π/3) r⁵, the product of
the spatial ball volume (4π/3) r³ and the time interval length 2r².
