Throughout, (M,a,Q) is a subextremal Kerr–Newman background (M>0, Q=0, a2+Q2<M2), Δ=r2−2Mr+a2+Q2, ρˉ=r+iacosθ, ρˉ∗=r−iacosθ, U={r>r+,0<θ<π}, and D−=Δ∂r−i∂θ,D+=Δ∂r+i∂θ act through coordinate-slice derivatives; the mode parameters are ω,m∈R. The negative-spin system (1)− is obtained from (1a)–(1d) by Hintz's replacement rules ψ1→−ψ−1, ψ2→ψ−2, k→−n, s→ℓ, L−1†→L−1, L2→L2†, (D0+ρˉ∗3)→Δ(D−1†+ρˉ∗3), Δ(D2†−ρˉ∗3)→(D0−ρˉ∗3); its residuals are res1aN…res1dN and Sys1NegAt is their conjunction at a point. System (1) (positive spin, Hintz eqs (1a)–(1d)) for the four fields (ψ2,ψ1,k,s) reads, with Dj=∂r+ΔiK+jΔΔ′, Lj=∂θ+Q^+jcotθ, their daggers (sign of iK/Δ, resp. Q^, flipped), K=−(r2+a2)ω+am, Q^=−aωsinθ+m/sinθ, F±=3(M−Q2/ρˉ)±Q2ρˉ∗/ρˉ2:
In Lean the four equations are encoded as the vanishing of the residuals res1a, res1b, res1c, res1d (left side minus right side), and Sys1PosAt is their conjunction at a point. The chiral variables of eq. (3) are y±(+)=Δ5/4sinθ(ψ2±iΔ−1/2ψ1,−2Q(k±iΔ−1/2s)) (yPos p (±1) F) and y±(−)=Δ−3/4sinθ(ψ−2∓iΔ1/2ψ−1,2Q(n∓iΔ1/2ℓ)) (yNeg p (±1) G).
For any fields that are slice-differentiable at x∈U (hypothesis PosDiff/NegDiff), component 1 of the D− equation of system (4) with ς=−1, evaluated on the chiral variables, equals the prefactor times a fixed linear combination of the residuals of system (1):
This is one of the eight scalar identities that make the chiralisation (1)→(4) an identity for arbitrary fields, not only for solutions; the proof clears all denominators (ρˉ,ρˉ∗,Δ,Δ,sinθ,Q) and reduces powers of Δ, cosθ and i.
