The two maps (eq:second-map)–(eq:iteration) have smooth compact output tests supported in

They are continuous in compact-test and smooth background topologies. For every smooth , and hence for every smooth free ,

Their sum on is therefore , understood as the free field with the displayed compact test. No diagonal extension or subtraction is used.

Proof. The Green operators act continuously on compact smooth tests, with their respective causal supports; transposition exchanges the retarded and advanced operators BGP (Chapter 3). Consequently is smooth, and applying produces a compact test supported in .

The intermediate support is contained in the same set. The iterated output is supported in

Continuous differentiation and multiplication give continuity. For input tests in a fixed compact support, every output lies in a fixed compact subset of .

Formal self-adjointness and transposition give

All source factors are compact because of . Every Green operation is applied to a smooth source or test; there is no singular product requiring extension.
