On the field space of smooth multiplets with ghosts compactly supported in ,

exactly as a formal series in , where

with and XII-C's finite coefficients. Equivalently .

Proof. By Lemma lem:decomp, . Write , an odd compact vector field. Then and , and is the first variation of along XII-C's scaled variation, evaluated coefficientwise in the Grassmann algebra. XII-C's proof of (eq:noether-input) computes this variation in two ways for an arbitrary compact interior parameter. Compact integration by parts gives . Direct variation gives: zero from the natural Einstein–Hilbert density; from the switched scalar action; and from the added cubic functional, where XII-C's Lemma on the cubic divergence gives with the apparent third ramp derivative cancelled. Hence with as in (eq:Kden), and comparison of the two forms is (eq:noether-input). Substituting and doubling gives (eq:breaking). All steps are identities of local densities modulo total derivatives, integrated against the compact ghost.
