The leading reflected–reflected radial coefficient derived from (eq:Aintrinsic) equals the prescribed distribution (eq:rdef) on all joint tests. In particular, its constant is , with the parameter density in (eq:nu).
Proof. The calculation is recorded in six identities.
1: exact pointwise kernel. Proposition prop:positive gives
2: reflected amplitudes and conjugation. The reflected terms of the two mixed covariances have amplitudes
The corresponding time phases are, separately, and . The right spatial phase is . These are conjugations of the kernel, not of .
3: scalar density. The scalar factor is
4: combined numerical prefactor. Consequently the reflected–reflected integrand has prefactor
The assignment factor in L1 has now been exhausted. No further factor of two occurs in .
5: polar measure and radial normalization. With ordinary sphere area measure,
This explains the extra in (eq:Aintrinsic), rather than adding a normalization by hand.
6: translation and Fourier inversion. For fixed , (eq:substitution) is a translation and has Jacobian one. The two mixed-covariance measures become exactly . The Fourier inversion identity is
In particular, the two factors supplied by the mixed covariances are the normalization of the two Fourier inversions. They cancel the factors from the unnormalized Fourier delta identities; they are not canceled a second time against another Fourier measure.
For the leading coefficient, replace the amplitude factors by and by . In the phase, however, retain the first-order expansions
Substituting into the phase itself would be incorrect. The retained time phase is exactly the inversion phase in L6.
The only remaining numerical factor is therefore
After L6, the remaining measure is . Changing to has unit Jacobian, so this is precisely the pushforward density (eq:nu). We have proved
The cutoff factors have not been used in this leading identification. They are treated by the replacement estimate below. Direct-branch amplitudes do not enter this calculation.
