Kerr vacuum theorem in Boyer-Lindquist coordinates (headline)
ProvedKerrBL.vacuum_KerrLet and let lie in the regular coordinate domain
Let be the Boyer-Lindquist Kerr metric and its closed-form inverse (KerrBL_Kerr_Metric), and let and be the generic coordinate Christoffel symbols and Ricci tensor of the specification layer (KerrBL_CoordGeometry), built from , and Mathlib's slice derivatives. Then all of the following hold:
- is a left inverse of at : for all ;
- for all the slice is differentiable at ;
- for all the slice is differentiable at ;
- the coordinate Ricci tensor vanishes:
This is the goal theorem of the mission: a machine-checked coordinate verification that the Boyer-Lindquist Kerr family is Ricci-flat on the regular coordinate domain used by the formalization, for arbitrary real . Clauses 1-3 make the statement self-contained: they exclude a trivialising inverse and exclude Mathlib's junk value for non-differentiable slices, so that clause 4 is a statement about the genuine coordinate Ricci tensor. The theorem does not assert a Lorentzian manifold, a global chart, the signature, positivity of , the black-hole bound , anything on the axis or at , , or any coordinate-independent curvature statement.
Formalization Note The trusted base is the 45-line generic layer and the metric transcription (source-locked to the project certificate); every closed form is bridged by proof. The theorem depends only on the axioms propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound.
