The pointwise ideal is graded by field degree, and
Hence
Proof. An ideal element is a finite sum . Decompose each polynomial into its homogeneous parts. Each homogeneous component of the sum is still in the ideal. Its degree-one part consists exactly of constant multiples of the linear generators, hence is for some compact .
The equality implies , since the functionals can be tested on arbitrary compact smooth configurations.
