# Chapter A, §A.3 — the Lie algebra `𝔰𝔭𝔦𝔫⁺(3,1)` (infinitesimal Note 47 / Lemma 48)

This file continues work-package **N4** of `FORMALIZATION_ROADMAP.md`
(book §A.3, **Note 47 / Lemma 48**, book line 5445).  The book characterizes the
restricted spin group by its Lie algebra,

`Spin⁺(3,1) = { e^{θʲ iγ⁵γ⁰γʲ + bʲ γ⁰γʲ} : θ, b ∈ ℝ³ }`,

whose Lie algebra `𝔰𝔭𝔦𝔫⁺(3,1)` is spanned by the six **spinor Lorentz
generators**

* the three **boosts**    `γ⁰γʲ = -(iγ⁰)(iγʲ)`   (`j = 1,2,3`), and
* the three **rotations**  `iγ⁵γ⁰γʲ = iγ⁵·(γ⁰γʲ)` (`j = 1,2,3`).

We formalize the *infinitesimal* content of Note 47 / Lemma 48 — the differential
`Λ_* : 𝔰𝔭𝔦𝔫⁺(3,1) → 𝔬(1,3)` of the two-to-one covering `Λ : Pin(3,1) → O(1,3)`
of `ChapterA3c.lean`.  Concretely, for a Lie-algebra element `G` the *adjoint*
(commutator) action on the Majorana basis is a real `4×4` matrix `A`:

`HasAdLambda G A  :  ∀ μ, [G, iγ^μ] = G·iγ^μ - iγ^μ·G = Σ_ν A^μ_ν iγ^ν`,

and this `A` lies in the **Lorentz Lie algebra** `𝔬(1,3) = {A | A η + η Aᵀ = 0}`
(the derivative of the defining relation `Λ η Λᵀ = η` of `LorentzO`).  Everything
is over `ℝ` on the concrete `4×4` Majorana model (`mgammaR`), and every
per-generator fact is a decidable integer-matrix computation (`decide`), so the
file is fully self-contained: **no external hypothesis** (no Pauli/Weyl input) is
needed.

Deliverables:
* generators `spinBoost j`, `spinRot j` and their explicit adjoint matrices
  `adBoost j`, `adRot j`;
* `spinGen_traceless` — the six generators are traceless (so their exponentials
  have unit determinant — the group-level `det S = 1` of Lemma 48);
* `spinBoost_hasAdLambda` / `spinRot_hasAdLambda` — `[G, iγ^μ] = Σ A^μ_ν iγ^ν`;
* `adBoost_mem_lorentzLie` / `adRot_mem_lorentzLie` — each adjoint matrix is in
  `𝔬(1,3)`;
* linearity (`hasAdLambda_add`, `hasAdLambda_smul`, `lorentzLie` a subspace) and
  the headline **`spinLie_hasAdLambda_lorentzLie`**: every element of
  `𝔰𝔭𝔦𝔫⁺(3,1)` has an adjoint matrix lying in `𝔬(1,3)` — i.e. the
  infinitesimal Lorentz map `Λ_*` is well-defined and lands in `𝔬(1,3)`.

Everything is `sorry`-free and `axiom`-free (only `propext`, `Classical.choice`,
`Quot.sound`).

**Remaining group-level step (recorded open item).**  Exponentiating this to the
group statement `Spin⁺(3,1) ⊆ Pin(3,1)` and `Λ(S) = Υ(Σ⁻¹SΣ)` requires the
matrix-exponential determinant identity `det (exp A) = exp (tr A)` — currently a
listed *TODO* in Mathlib (`Mathlib/Analysis/Normed/Algebra/MatrixExponential.lean`)
— together with the adjoint-exponential identity `exp(-G)·X·exp(G) = exp(-ad_G)(X)`.
Those analytic ingredients are the recorded obstruction; the algebraic/Lie-algebra
core (this file) is complete.
