Invariance under spacetime translations
ProvedPolyakovAction.translation_invarianceLet the target metric be a constant matrix . For every constant vector , the spacetime translation leaves the Polyakov action unchanged:
This is transformation (i) of the Poincaré symmetry of the target manifold in the source ("Global symmetries"); it holds because the action depends on only through its first derivatives.
Formalization Note. The target metric is taken constant (flat target), the setting in which the source's Poincaré symmetry is stated. The identity holds for any worldsheet metric, any region and any map .

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.
