Purpose
The particle momenta found in §3.5 supply the source in §3.6. This derivation obtains their local source contributions and the exact static temporal weighting. It then solves a supported continuum example and compares two scalar models of source feedback.
Starting assumptions
Use signature \((-+++)\), \(x^0=ct\) and the current all-upper momentum source. In the static zero-shift patch, write \(N=\phi^0{}_0>0\) and \(h_{ij}=g_{ij}\) as local calculation aliases. The retained equation is \(G^{\mu\nu}=(8\pi G_N/c^3)J^{\mu\nu}\) in matching frames. Its source includes the complete material stress for the model being solved.
The free-carrier example uses \(p_r^\mu=Np_{\mathrm{local}}^\mu\), \(M_r=NM\) and local physical-volume population weights. The prescribed scalar control later uses Euclidean volume instead; it is a different field-law problem. Neither the free-particle kernel nor the constant-density continuum resolves a singular particle self-field or supplies a microscopic internal-support law.
Derivation
From particle momentum to the source
For each massive carrier, the normalized four-velocity of §3.5 gives
\[ p_{\mathrm{local},a}^{\mu} =\frac{p_{f,a}}{c}\phi^\mu{}_\alpha u_a^\alpha, \qquad p_{r,a}^{\mu}=Np_{\mathrm{local},a}^{\mu}. \]
Consequently
\[ \begin{aligned} (j_a^{\mu\nu})_{\mathrm{local}} &=\frac{p_{\mathrm{local},a}^{\mu}p_{\mathrm{local},a}^{\nu}}{M_a}\\ &=\frac{p_{r,a}^{\mu}p_{r,a}^{\nu}}{NM_{r,a}}\\ &=\frac{p_{f,a}^2}{c^2M_a} \phi^\mu{}_\alpha\phi^\nu{}_\beta u_a^\alpha u_a^\beta. \end{aligned} \tag{1}\]
The first two forms also apply to nonzero null momenta; the massive proper-time parametrization in the last form does not. Form each product before taking the physical-volume moment. The blocks are
\[ \mathcal M=\left\langle\sum_a\frac{M_{r,a}}N\right\rangle, \qquad \mathcal P^i=\left\langle\sum_a\frac{p_{r,a}^i}N\right\rangle, \qquad \mathcal C^{ij}=\left\langle\sum_a \frac{p_{r,a}^ip_{r,a}^j}{NM_{r,a}}\right\rangle. \tag{2}\]
These are local source components expressed through reference-normalized inputs. Coordinate components require the separate congruence \(J_{\mathrm{coord}}=\phi^{-1}J_{\mathrm{local}}\phi^{-\mathsf T}\). Neither operation changes which physical content belongs in \(J\).
The static temporal equation
For
\[ ds^2=-N^2(dx^0)^2+h_{ij}dx^idx^j, \]
static curvature gives
\[ R_{00}=N D_iD^iN, \qquad D_iD^iN=\frac1{\sqrt{\det h}} \partial_i\left(\sqrt{\det h}\,h^{ij}\partial_jN\right). \]
Trace reversal of the retained equation, in the local orthonormal frame, gives
\[ R_{\mathrm{local},00} =\frac{4\pi G_N}{c^3} \left(\mathcal M+\delta_{ij}\mathcal C^{ij}\right). \]
Since \(R_{\mathrm{local},00}=R_{00}/N^2\), the exact result is
\[ D_iD^iN =\frac{4\pi G_N}{c^3}N \left(\mathcal M+\delta_{ij}\mathcal C^{ij}\right). \tag{3}\]
Trace reversal gives the positive spatial-trace term. This equation sources the temporal map \(N\); weak \(\theta^{00}\) alone is sourced by \(\mathcal M\).
For resting free carriers, \(\mathcal M=np_f\) and \(\mathcal C^{ij}=0\), hence \(N\mathcal M=np_{f,r}\). The single factor of \(N\) converts the local fermic contribution to its reference-expressed value.
The same source must satisfy conservation. For static dust its spatial equation is
\[ \mathcal M\,\partial_i\ln N=0. \tag{4}\]
For positive density, this condition requires a spatially constant \(N\). A static body in a varying well therefore needs a supporting stress or force.
A complete static continuum example
Consider an incompressible continuum with constant total local core density, \(\mathcal M=\mathcal M_0\), and isotropic total spatial stress, \(\mathcal C^{ij}=\mathcal C_s(r)\delta^{ij}\). The supporting stress is included in \(\mathcal C_s\). Let \(r\) be areal radius and \(R_s\) the surface radius. Define
\[ r_s=\frac{8\pi G_N\mathcal M_0R_s^3}{3c^3}, \qquad F(r)=1-\frac{r_s r^2}{R_s^3}, \qquad F_s=1-\frac{r_s}{R_s}. \]
Inside the body,
\[ N=\frac{3\sqrt{F_s}-\sqrt F}{2}, \qquad \mathcal C_s=\mathcal M_0 \frac{\sqrt F-\sqrt{F_s}}{3\sqrt{F_s}-\sqrt F}, \tag{5}\]
and in areal Cartesian coordinates the spatial map is
\[ \phi^i{}_j=\delta^i{}_j+ \left(F^{-1/2}-1\right)\hat r^i\hat r_j. \]
The centre is defined by smooth extension. These expressions give \(ds^2=-N^2(dx^0)^2+dr^2/F+r^2d\Omega^2\). Outside, \(F=1-r_s/r\), \(N=\sqrt F\) and \(\mathcal C_s=0\).
The radial field and material equations can be written using the enclosed core parameter \(M_{\mathrm{enc}}\):
\[ \begin{aligned} \frac{dM_{\mathrm{enc}}}{dr}&=4\pi r^2\mathcal M_0,\\ \frac{N'}N&=\frac{G_N}{c^3} \frac{M_{\mathrm{enc}}+4\pi r^3\mathcal C_s} {r^2[1-2G_NM_{\mathrm{enc}}/(c^3r)]},\\ \mathcal C_s'&=-(\mathcal M_0+\mathcal C_s)\frac{N'}N. \end{aligned} \tag{6}\]
The displayed solution satisfies these equations and the tangential field equation. At \(R_s\), its lapse and radial geometry match the vacuum exterior and its stress vanishes, so no surface stress layer is required. Positive central lapse and finite central stress require \(0<r_s/R_s<8/9\).
Temporal weighting and the exterior source
For a regular isolated static spherical solution, integrating the temporal equation gives the asymptotic core parameter, in momentum units,
\[ M_\infty =\frac{c^3}{G_N}\lim_{r\to\infty}r^2\sqrt F\,N' =\int N\left(\mathcal M+\delta_{ij}\mathcal C^{ij}\right)d\Sigma. \tag{7}\]
For the supported uniform sphere, \(d\Sigma=4\pi r^2dr/\sqrt F\), and direct substitution gives
\[ \frac{N(\mathcal M_0+3\mathcal C_s)}{\sqrt F}=\mathcal M_0. \]
Thus \(M_\infty=4\pi\mathcal M_0R_s^3/3\). The proper integral of local cores alone is larger:
\[ \int\mathcal M_0\,d\Sigma =4\pi\mathcal M_0\int_0^{R_s}\frac{r^2}{\sqrt F}\,dr >M_\infty. \]
The exterior source depends on temporal weighting, supporting stress and physical volume together.
A scalar feedback model
Now prescribe constant \(n\) per Euclidean volume, retain only \(\theta^{00}\), and add the field-law postulate
\[ \Delta_{\mathrm{flat}}\theta^{00} =-\frac{4\pi G_Nnp_f}{c^3}\sqrt{1-2\theta^{00}} \quad (r<R_s). \]
Require a regular centre, decay at infinity and continuous value and first radial derivative at the surface. With
\[ x=\frac r{R_s},\qquad \alpha=\frac{4\pi G_Nnp_fR_s^2}{c^3},\qquad y=1-2\theta^{00}=N^2, \]
the boundary-value problem becomes
\[ y''+\frac2x y'=2\alpha\sqrt y, \qquad y'(0)=0, \qquad y(1)+y'(1)=1. \tag{8}\]
Primes now mean \(d/dx\). Outside, \(y=1-b/x\) with \(b=y'(1)\). The reduced-to-unreduced source fraction is
\[ S=3\int_0^1x^2\sqrt y\,dx, \qquad b=\frac{2\alpha}{3}S. \]
Solving without expanding the square root gives:
| \(\alpha\) | Central \(N\) | Surface \(N\) | Source fraction \(S\) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.1 | 0.950833949 | 0.967443049 | 0.960809196 |
| 1 | 0.581376331 | 0.740308770 | 0.677914387 |
| 2 | 0.302614700 | 0.596052040 | 0.483541474 |
| 4 | 0.019726127 | 0.465118871 | 0.293874163 |
The tabulated values are numerical solutions of this scalar boundary-value problem, checked by shooting, collocation and the source–flux identity. They are not solutions of all tensor field equations. The flat operator and Euclidean density are constitutive choices; a physical spatial metric and reciprocal material dynamics cannot be inferred from this scalar equation alone.
Giulini’s homogeneous scalar sphere
Giulini’s account of Einstein’s Prague field equation, §§2–4, supplies a related exact scalar example. For a uniform bare mass \(m_b\) inside \(R_s\), his normalized scalar \(\Psi=\sqrt{\Phi/c^2}\) satisfies
\[ \Delta_{\mathrm{flat}}\Psi=\kappa^2\Psi, \qquad \kappa^2=\frac{3G_Nm_b}{2c^2R_s^3}, \qquad \Psi(\infty)=1. \]
Put \(z=\kappa R_s\). Regularity and matching give
\[ \Psi_{\mathrm{in}}(r) =\frac{\sinh(\kappa r)}{\kappa r\cosh z}, \qquad \Psi_{\mathrm{out}}(r)=1-\frac{R_g}{r}, \]
\[ R_g=R_s\left(1-\frac{\tanh z}{z}\right) =\frac{G_Nm_g}{2c^2}, \qquad \frac{m_g}{m_b} =\frac3{z^2}\left(1-\frac{\tanh z}{z}\right). \tag{9}\]
The active mass \(m_g\) includes the scalar field’s contribution in that theory. At \(z=1\), \(m_g/m_b=0.715217532\); its matter and field energy fractions are respectively \(0.512429722\) and \(0.202787811\).
Identifying the bare mass density with \(np_f/c\) gives \(z^2=\alpha/2\) in Giulini’s model. A flat-spatial version of the retained resting-lapse equation would instead have \(z^2=\alpha\), while the nonlinear-\(\theta\) problem above has a different field equation again. These comparisons relate their source parameters; each model retains its own force law and source accounting.
Result
The reference shell enters the kinetic source through \(j_a^{\mu\nu}=p_{r,a}^\mu p_{r,a}^\nu/(NM_{r,a})\). The exact static temporal equation weights a resting contribution as \(np_{f,r}\). The supported continuum solution shows how pressure and curved volume enter the complete source, while the two scalar examples describe feedback under their own field-law postulates.
Notes
The supported uniform sphere is the interior Schwarzschild incompressible continuum in momentum units. Its stress is specified at the continuum level; internal particle support and causal material evolution require further physical laws. Giulini’s formulas used here are his equations (24), (32)–(33) and (37). The calculations support §3.6.
