All sixteen coordinate Ricci components of the Kerr metric vanish on the regular domain

where ricciOf (gKerr M a) (giKerr M a) b d x is the coordinate Ricci tensor of the specification layer: the standard formula with , evaluated on the Boyer-Lindquist Kerr metric and its closed-form inverse with Mathlib's slice derivatives.
This is Ricci-flatness of the Boyer-Lindquist Kerr family on the regular coordinate domain of the formalization, for arbitrary real parameters . It is not a global Lorentzian-manifold statement and it is not restricted to the black-hole regime. All sixteen components are proved separately; no symmetry of is used or asserted.
Formalization Note Only the generic definitions appear in the statement; no closed form is mentioned. Read together with ginv_mul_g_Kerr (the inverse is genuine) and the differentiability theorems hdgKerr_all, hdchrKerr_all (no junk derivative values), as packaged in vacuum_Kerr.
