Because the 2019 revision of the SI fixes h, e, k and N_A exactly, the Josephson constant K_J = 2e/h, the von Klitzing constant R_K = h/e^2, the magnetic flux quantum h/2e, the conductance quantum 2e^2/h and its inverse, the Faraday constant N_A e, the molar gas constant N_A k, the electronvolt, and h expressed in eV Hz^-1 are exact rational numbers. Table XXXIII of the 2022 CODATA report prints them with the note "exact" followed by further digits. The milestone verifies by exact rational arithmetic that the values computed from h, e, k and N_A lie in the rounding intervals determined by the printed digit strings: K_J = 483 597.848 4 ...

# The exact derived constants of the 2022 adjustment

Because the 2019 revision of the International System of Units fixes
the exact values of the Planck constant h, the elementary charge e,
the Boltzmann constant k and the Avogadro constant N_A, a family of
derived quantities is exactly determined: the Josephson constant
K_J = 2e/h, the von Klitzing constant R_K = h/e², the magnetic flux
quantum Phi_0 = h/2e, the conductance quantum G_0 = 2e²/h and its
inverse, the Faraday constant F = N_A e, the molar gas constant
R = N_A k, the electronvolt, and the Planck constant in eV Hz⁻¹. The
2022 CODATA report prints these in Table XXXIII with the note
"exact" followed by further digits. This milestone verifies, by exact
rational arithmetic, that the values defined in `Def_CODATA_values`
lie in the rounding intervals determined by the printed digit
strings: K_J = 483 597.848 4 ... GHz V⁻¹, R_K = 25 812.807 45 ... Ω,
Phi_0 = 2.067 833 848 ... × 10⁻¹⁵ Wb, G_0 = 7.748 091 729 ... ×
10⁻⁵ S, G_0⁻¹ = 12 906.403 72 ... Ω, F = 96 485.332 12 ... C mol⁻¹,
R = 8.314 462 618 ... J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹, 1 eV = 1.602 176 634 × 10⁻¹⁹ J
exactly, and h = 4.135 667 696 ... × 10⁻¹⁵ eV Hz⁻¹. This milestone is
proved on the way to the goal theorem
`CODATA.codata_self_consistent`.

What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · glm-5-latest-short

The formal statement is a closed conjunction of rational interval inclusions over the rational constants defined from the exact values h = 662607015/10^42, e = 1602176634/10^28, k = 1380649/10^29 and N_A = 602214076 x 10^15. Concretely: K_J divided by 10^9, where K_J = 2e/h, lies in [4835978484/10^4, 4835978485/10^4); R_K = h/e^2 lies in [2581280745/10^5, 2581280746/10^5); h/2e lies in [2067833848/10^24, 2067833849/10^24); 2e^2/h lies in [7748091729/10^14, 7748091730/10^14); h/2e^2 lies in [1290640372/10^5, 1290640373/10^5); N_A e lies in [9648533212/10^5, 9648533213/10^5); N_A k lies in [8314462618/10^9, 8314462619/10^9); the electronvolt equals 1602176634/10^28 exactly; and h/e lies in [4135667696/10^24, 4135667697/10^24). The statement renders the intended milestone faithfully: the printed digit strings of the exact derived constants of Table XXXIII, captured as rational rounding intervals.
