8 Bare Coulomb with an unchanged Gaussian and prescribed fields

Consider two equal masses MM and equal charges ee, positions q1,q2q_1,q_2, COM Q=(q1+q2)/2Q=(q_1+q_2)/2, and relative position R=q1−q2R=q_1-q_2. The physical collision is R=0R=0. Retain all electronic and nuclear spins and an arbitrary passive finite internal reference. The prescribed vector, scalar and spin profiles have a common finite support enclosure on the finite time interval. A sufficient mixed spatial/time reserve is

Aem:Cx8,∂tAem:Cx6,∂t2Aem:Cx4,V:Cx6,∂tV:Cx4. A_{\rm em}:C_x^8,\qquad \partial_tA_{\rm em}:C_x^6,\qquad \partial_t^2A_{\rm em}:C_x^4,\qquad V:C_x^6,\quad \partial_tV:C_x^4. (8.1)

The relevant bounds and time derivatives are uniform or integrable as needed above. These are spatial reserves of the time-differentiated profiles, not eight time derivatives.

In frequency units the dimensionless connections and positive kinetic coefficients are

aQ=eℏ[Aem(Q+R/2)+Aem(Q−R/2)],aR=e2ℏ[Aem(Q+R/2)−Aem(Q−R/2)], a_Q=\frac e\hbar[A_{\rm em}(Q+R/2)+A_{\rm em}(Q-R/2)],\qquad a_R=\frac e{2\hbar}[A_{\rm em}(Q+R/2)-A_{\rm em}(Q-R/2)],

λQ=ℏ/(4M)\lambda_Q=\hbar/(4M) and λR=ℏ/M\lambda_R=\hbar/M. The parent contains the full kinetic terms λQ(pQ−aQ)2+λR(pR−aR)2\lambda_Q(p_Q-a_Q)^2+\lambda_R(p_R-a_R)^2, bare repulsive Coulomb g/(ℏ∣R∣)g/(\hbar|R|) with g>0g>0, a fixed bounded Hermitian hyperfine operator on the finite internal fibre that commutes with simultaneous rotations, and all specified scalar/spin controls. The hyperfine operator is independent of Q,R,tQ,R,t; no additional singular hyperfine coefficient is implicit in this parent. A normal first-order aR⋅pRa_R\cdot p_R is not a tangent word. The next exact gauge removes that obstruction while preserving physical positions and currents.

Lemma 8.1 (Relative radial gauge with global ray bounds)

Set

χ(Q,R,t)=∫01R⋅aR(Q,sR,t) ds,ψg=e−iχψ, \chi(Q,R,t)=\int_0^1R\cdot a_R(Q,sR,t)\,ds,\qquad \psi_g=e^{-i\chi}\psi,

aR′=aR−∇Rχa_R'=a_R-\nabla_R\chi, aQ′=aQ−∇Qχa_Q'=a_Q-\nabla_Q\chi. The scalar frequency potential gains +∂tχ+\partial_t\chi. Then

R⋅aR′=0,(aR′)j=∫01sRk[∂k(aR)j−∂j(aR)k](Q,sR,t) ds. R\cdot a_R'=0,\qquad (a_R')_j=\int_0^1sR_k [\partial_k(a_R)_j-\partial_j(a_R)_k](Q,sR,t)\,ds. (8.2)

The gauge and its needed derivatives are bounded globally. Writing aR′=R×Beffa_R'=R\times B_{\rm eff} with the appropriate curvature sign, both BeffB_{\rm eff} and ∣Q∣Beff|Q|B_{\rm eff} have the bounded mixed COM/simultaneous-rotation jets needed by the tangent graph proof.

Proof

Differentiate the radial integral and integrate the derivative of s aR(Q,sR)s\,a_R(Q,sR) to obtain (8.2). Conjugating the Schrödinger equation gives the stated connections and scalar phase. Covariant currents are invariant under this scalar gauge, as are spin densities and their curls.

Enclose the finite supports in ∣x∣≤Rs|x|\leq R_s. Each ray x=Q±sR/2x=Q\pm sR/2 spends ss-length at most 4Rs/∣R∣4R_s/|R| in that ball. Thus terms with one explicit RR in any differentiated gauge integral are uniformly controlled by the ray length; terms without RR are bounded directly on 0≤s≤10\leq s\leq1. At R=0R=0, the difference defining aRa_R is O(R)O(R), so χ=O(∣R∣2)\chi=O(|R|^2) and the gauge is smooth through the collision.

Up to a harmless sign,

Beff=e4ℏ∫01s[Bem(Q+sR/2)+Bem(Q−sR/2)] ds. B_{\rm eff}=\frac e{4\hbar}\int_0^1s [B_{\rm em}(Q+sR/2)+B_{\rm em}(Q-sR/2)]\,ds .

Hence ∥Beff∥∞≤∣e∣∥Bem∥∞/(4ℏ)\|B_{\rm eff}\|_\infty\leq|e|\|B_{\rm em}\|_\infty/(4\hbar). On a support intersection, ∣Q∣≤Rs+s∣R∣/2|Q|\leq R_s+s|R|/2. For ∣R∣≤2Rs|R|\leq2R_s use ∣Q∣≤2Rs|Q|\leq2R_s; for larger ∣R∣|R| use ∣Q∣<∣R∣|Q|<|R| and the summed ray length at most 8Rs/∣R∣8R_s/|R|. This gives the conservative bound

∥∣Q∣Beff∥∞≤(2∣e∣Rs/ℏ)∥Bem∥∞. \||Q|B_{\rm eff}\|_\infty \leq(2|e|R_s/\hbar)\|B_{\rm em}\|_\infty.

COM derivatives replace profiles by their derivatives. Simultaneous rotation acts on the actual supported field argument x=Q±sR/2x=Q\pm sR/2 and its vector index; these weighted derivatives remain supported and bounded. Differentiating the explicit QQ gives lower terms already controlled. The same reasoning applies to the stated time-differentiated profiles with their common support enclosure.

Theorem 8.2 (Uncut Gaussian Coulomb flow)

For the complete prescribed-field parent just specified, the unchanged normalized Gaussian entrance, with any fixed finite internal input, has a continuous evolved full wave off R=0R=0, local full H2H^2 there, finite action and logarithmic costs, and all-times collision avoidance. Its complete reference-compatible flow is deterministic and unique in the class of Theorem 3.3. Every one original law absolutely continuous with respect to its entrance density is transported by that flow without a collision cutoff or a stock change.

Proof

Use J=Q×pQ+R×pR+S1+I1+S2+I2J=Q\times p_Q+R\times p_R+S_1+I_1+S_2+I_2 and A=1+pQ2+J2\mathcal A=1+p_Q^2+J^2. The radial gauge gives the exact identity

(R×Beff)⋅pR=−Beff⋅J+Beff⋅(Q×pQ)+Beff⋅Sall. (R\times B_{\rm eff})\cdot p_R =-B_{\rm eff}\cdot J+B_{\rm eff}\cdot(Q\times p_Q) +B_{\rm eff}\cdot S_{\rm all}.

All coefficients are bounded by Lemma 8.1. Symmetrize these first-order terms, retaining their scalar divergence. The COM contraction already uses pQp_Q; the remaining squares, divergences and scalar/spin controls are bounded multiplication. Thus the gauged parent is its translation/rotation-invariant central Coulomb operator plus bounded-coefficient tangent words of degree at most one. The central operator strongly commutes with A\mathcal A. The finite-word proof of (6.1) applies: ℓ\ell commutators have degree at most ℓ+1≤2ℓ\ell+1\leq2\ell. The expanded gauge divergence uses two original spatial derivatives, and three tangent-operator commutators can use six more. Its differentiated version uses six spatial derivatives of Aem,tA_{{\rm em},t}, while the differentiated scalar χt\chi_t requires four spatial derivatives of Aem,ttA_{{\rm em},tt}. This explains the reserve (8.1).

Three-dimensional relative Hardy and interpolation give ∥∣R∣−1u∥≤2∥∇Ru∥\||R|^{-1}u\|\leq2\|\nabla_Ru\| and infinitesimal relative Laplacian boundedness of Coulomb. Bounded smooth connections are first-order infinitesimally Laplacian bounded. The common first domain is consequently H2(R6)H^2(\mathbb R^6) and the form is H1(R6)H^1(\mathbb R^6), with a positive physical kinetic floor after a bounded shift. The operator core crosses the collision. Functions vanishing near a relative codimension-three collision are form dense (cut off a smooth vector at radius ϵ\epsilon, whose added gradient norm is O(ϵ1/2)O(\epsilon^{1/2})), but need not be an H2H^2 graph core. In fact the relative trace at zero is continuous in relative H2H^2, so deleting that trace would exclude the Gaussian.

The gauged Gaussian lies in D(A3)∩D(Hg(0))D(\mathcal A^3)\cap D(H_g(0)) and Hg(0)fg∈D(A2)H_g(0)f_g\in D(\mathcal A^2). Tangent words leave ∣R∣−1|R|^{-1} undifferentiated and its product with a smooth Gaussian word is locally L2L^2 in three relative dimensions. The gauge jets are bounded. No D(Hg2)D(H_g^2) claim follows: a second radial action on ∣R∣−1fg|R|^{-1}f_g generally has a collision-supported distribution. Theorem 6.1 therefore applies on the true common form. On compact collision-free charts there are five tangent coordinates, and (6.8)–(6.9), with θ>5/8\theta>5/8, give joint spacetime continuity and local full H2H^2.

The full distributional continuity equation is on all Cartesian R6\mathbb R^6; no zero-density wall is placed at the collision. Physical coercivity and the first-graph bound supply the canonical length/action/log estimates of Proposition 3.4. For collision avoidance, the gauged normal connection is exactly zero, and Hardy gives

∫0T ⁣∫∣jR⋅R^∣∣R∣≤2λR∫0T∥ψg/∣R∣∥∥∇Rψg∥ dt<∞. \int_0^T\!\int\frac{|j_R\cdot\widehat R|}{|R|} \leq2\lambda_R\int_0^T \|\psi_g/|R|\|\|\nabla_R\psi_g\|\,dt<\infty. (8.3)

If a complete bounded spin-curl contribution is specified, retain its additional bound

C∥ψg/∣R∣∥(∥∇Rψg∥+∥∇Qψg∥). C\|\psi_g/|R|\|(\|\nabla_R\psi_g\|+\|\nabla_Q\psi_g\|).

Use the smooth Cartesian tests hϵ(R)=12log⁡(∣R∣2+ϵ2)h_\epsilon(R)=\frac12\log(|R|^2+\epsilon^2), whose gradient magnitude is at most 1/∣R∣1/|R|. The expected variation is uniformly bounded by (8.3); a path starting off the collision and reaching it would have divergent limiting variation. Fatou excludes such paths at every time. A fixed-time collision null set would not prove this. The central deterministic-flow theorem now applies, and the gauge preserves its physical positions and currents.
