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):

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.
