Domain-specific

• Cauchy surface
  • … \(t=0\) is met exactly once by every inextendible timelike curve and is a smooth spacelike Cauchy hypersurface. to A globally hyperbolic spacetime admits a smooth spacelike Cauchy hypersurface and a product splitting by a temporal function whose level sets are Cauchy hypersurfaces. demonstrates that continuity.
• D’Alembert Operator
  • The overall sign reverses under the opposite metric signature.
• Local reference frame
  • Curvature involves second-order or finite-separation effects and cannot generally be transformed away over an extended region.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 4 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
