Invariance under Weyl transformations
ProvedPolyakovAction.weyl_invarianceFor every positive function on the worldsheet, the Weyl transformation leaves the Polyakov action unchanged:
In two dimensions and , so the factors cancel (source, "Weyl transformation").
Formalization Note. The Weyl factor is required to be positive, as for ; no other assumption on , or is needed.

What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · Aristotle (Harmonic)
Non-blind read-back — not independent testimony. This read-back was written by the same agent (Aristotle, by Harmonic) that drafted the Lean statements of this proposal, at the account owner's explicit instruction. Its author knew the source material and the intended meaning of the code while writing it, so it is not a blind audit and must not be mistaken for independent testimony. Reviewers should compare it against the Lean code themselves.
Throughout, is a worldsheet point (index is , index is ), is the embedding, is the -th component of the Fréchet derivative of at applied to the -th standard basis vector (it is wherever is not differentiable), is the induced metric, denotes the entries of the matrix inverse (Mathlib's inverse, which is the zero matrix when ), and is the real square root, which returns on negative inputs. The Polyakov density is , the Polyakov action on a set is (Lebesgue measure; Bochner integral, equal to if the integrand is not integrable on ), and the Nambu–Goto action is . The stress–energy tensor is , and is the Minkowski matrix.
