The heat equation for a cutoff of a local solution #
If ∂ₜ z - Δ z = G in distributions on U × I and η is smooth and vanishes
for x outside a compact subset of U, then w = ηz, extended by zero,
solves ∂ₜ w - Δ w = ηG + (∂ₜη - Δη) z - 2 ∇η · ∇z in distributions on
ℝ³ × I (lem:local-heat-gain, first step of the proof).
The second spatial derivative of a product of smooth fields.
A product with a field vanishing outside K × ℝ has topological support
in U × I when the other factor is supported in ℝ³ × I and K ⊆ U.
Set integrals over ℝ³ × I of integrands vanishing for x ∉ U are
integrals over U × I.

Sums of space-time derivative families.
Constant multiples of space-time derivative families.
Almost everywhere modifications of space-time derivative families.
A space-time derivative family on U × I whose members vanish for x
outside a compact K ⊆ U is a family on ℝ³ × I. The cutoff κ equals one
near K.
