All body formulas use
If
then , so the alternative notation has exactly the same right-hand side. The two expressions
are identical. An extra sign reversal of would be an error.
An actual change from to , while keeping fixed, would negate the response, the current, and the defect. It would leave the zero conditions and unchanged.
For , the raw adjoint identity is
Integrating the metric derivative by parts gives
Its initial-surface components are
The canonical distribution formula is
There is only one in the displayed delta coefficient. An intermediate expression with must also expand the product , which removes one copy.
Figure fig:sign-audit summarizes the conventions audited in this appendix.
