On compact tests,

The same identities hold for the causal differences.

Proof. The first line follows from , , and self-adjointness. For a compact test , both and solve the same inhomogeneous -equation and have the same retarded or advanced support. Uniqueness gives the first Green identity. Taking adjoints gives the second.
