For every smooth , every free , and ,

Consequently , and hence , is invariant. No metric field equation is required.

Proof. All derivatives of have support in the plateau. Linearity and (eq:QK-shell) give

The last equality uses the vanishing near , not an unrestricted inverse identity. The coordinate identity follows from Lemma lem:linear. Substitution in (eq:A12) cancels the two variations.
