Planar circulation and curl #
The oriented real plane is ℂ, with positive basis (1, Complex.I). The circulation of a
field with components P, Q uses the real 1-form P dx + Q dy; its curl is ∂x Q - ∂y P.
The raw-curve integrand agrees with Mathlib's curveIntegral on a Path, including for paths
whose derivative is defined only almost everywhere.
These conventions fix the signs for planar Green identities.
The real 1-form P dx + Q dy on the positively oriented complex plane.

Instances For
The planar 1-form as a field of continuous linear maps in the coordinate projections.
A continuous planar field gives a continuous field of real linear 1-forms.
A continuous compactly supported planar field has uniformly bounded 1-form operator norm.
Curl in the positive real basis (1, Complex.I). These are real Fréchet derivatives,
so this definition is used for differentiable fields; directional Green identities state
their slice derivatives separately.
Instances For
Globally real C¹ fields have continuous curl.
Compact support of the field implies compact support of its curl.
For differentiable fields the curl agrees with the difference of the directional slice derivatives used in the graph-cell identities.
Continuous coefficients are genuinely Bochner integrable along a straight segment.
