# Chapter "Free field parametrization in Classical Statistical Field Theory and
Navier-Stokes equations" — §"Local operators and the momentum constraint"

Source: `book.tex`, chapter *"Free field parametrization in Classical Statistical
Field Theory and Navier-Stokes equations"*, section *"Local operators and the
momentum constraint"* (line ~4011).

The book argues that, once the momentum constraint is imposed, **all operators
must be invariant under a translation in space**, so that *"in rigor we can't"*
define local operators.  What one *can* do is use translation-invariant
combinations of local operators, e.g. the space integral `∫ d\vec{x}\ l(\vec{x})`
of a local operator `l(\vec{x})`, which "behaves effectively as a local operator
when the wave-function is concentrated around one point".

This file formalizes the two self-contained mathematical claims underlying that
passage, for an operator-valued field on `d`-dimensional position space
`ℝ^d = Fin d → ℝ` with values in an arbitrary real Banach space `E` (the algebra
of operators):

* `localIntegral_translation_invariant` — the space integral `∫ l(x) dx` **is**
  translation invariant: shifting the local field `l` by any spatial vector `y`
  leaves the integral unchanged (`∫ l(x + y) dx = ∫ l(x) dx`).  This is the sense
  in which the translation-invariant operator `∫ d\vec{x}\ l(\vec{x})` is an
  admissible operator.
* `not_translationInvariant_of_pointSupported` — conversely, a genuinely *local*
  operator field (nonzero at a single point `x₀` and vanishing elsewhere) is
  **not** translation invariant (in dimension `d ≥ 1`); this is the precise sense
  in which local operators cannot be defined as admissible (translation-invariant)
  operators "in rigor".

Everything is `sorry`-free and `axiom`-free (only `propext`, `Classical.choice`,
`Quot.sound`).

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
