For every ,

as a formal variational identity.

Proof. Every current in (eq:switchedNoether) is compactly supported in the gauge-support region. Thus the spatial and temporal boundary integrals vanish.

On a neighborhood of this region and . Therefore

All retained terms in (eq:switchedNoether) vanish. The discarded term from varying with is of order .
