Boyer–Lindquist Kerr metric is Lorentzian on the whole regular domain
ProvedExactVacuumAtlas.Kerr.lorentzLet be real numbers, , , and . Then the matrix of the Boyer–Lindquist Kerr metric (platform definition KerrBL_Kerr_Metric, coordinates ): , , , , , other entries , with its closed-form candidate inverse (, and a block with denominator ) is Lorentzian: there is a matrix with invertible determinant and .
Signature obligation of row 6. The proof exhibits the unnormalised Carter-type frame , , , with for , and the same columns with swapped for ; no part of the regular domain (, , ) is excluded.
Formalization Note Everything is coordinate-level on (points are functions ): no manifold, chart gluing, periodicity of , horizon, causal or global statement is made. Partial derivatives are Mathlib's deriv of coordinate slices; the certificates' obligations make every derivative used a genuine derivative. Units , signature .
