Let be the closed two-sided ideal generated by and .
If is a Wick polynomial in the graviton alone and , then . Consequently a Wick monomial whose kernel lies in , with the scalar in the first slot, belongs to .
Every element of vanishes as a functional on every pair of smooth solutions , . Hence a degree- monomial with for one such pair is not in .
Proof. (i) The cross blocks of the Hadamard matrix vanish, so no contraction joins to , and the -product equals the Wick-ordered product. is a two-sided ideal and closed. (ii) For any , the -product equals the pointwise product , because every term of positive order in pairs a derivative of with ; is a bisolution. Likewise since and . So is the closure of the pointwise ideal generated by functionals vanishing on solutions, and evaluation at a fixed smooth configuration is continuous FR,Rej.
