Throughout, (M,a,Q)(M,a,Q)(M,a,Q) is a subextremal Kerr–Newman background (M>0M>0M>0, Q≠0Q\neq 0Q=0, a2+Q2<M2a^2+Q^2<M^2a2+Q2<M2), Δ=r2−2Mr+a2+Q2\Delta=r^2-2Mr+a^2+Q^2Δ=r2−2Mr+a2+Q2, ρˉ=r+iacos⁡θ\bar\rho=r+ia\cos\thetaρˉ​=r+iacosθ, ρˉ∗=r−iacos⁡θ\bar\rho^*=r-ia\cos\thetaρˉ​∗=r−iacosθ, U={r>r+, 0<θ<π}U=\{r>r_+,\ 0<\theta<\pi\}U={r>r+​, 0<θ<π}, and D−=Δ ∂r−i ∂θ,D+=Δ ∂r+i ∂θD^-=\sqrt{\Delta}\,\partial_r-i\,\partial_\theta,\quad D^+=\sqrt{\Delta}\,\partial_r+i\,\partial_\thetaD−=Δ​∂r​−i∂θ​,D+=Δ​∂r​+i∂θ​ act through coordinate-slice derivatives; the mode parameters are ω,m∈R\omega,m\in\mathbb{R}ω,m∈R. System (1) (positive spin, Hintz eqs (1a)–(1d)) for the four fields (ψ2,ψ1,k,s)(\psi_2,\psi_1,k,s)(ψ2​,ψ1​,k,s) reads, with Dj=∂r+iKΔ+jΔ′Δ\mathcal D_j=\partial_r+\tfrac{iK}{\Delta}+j\tfrac{\Delta'}{\Delta}Dj​=∂r​+ΔiK​+jΔΔ′​, Lj=∂θ+Q^+jcot⁡θ\mathcal L_j=\partial_\theta+\hat Q+j\cot\thetaLj​=∂θ​+Q^​+jcotθ, their daggers (sign of iK/ΔiK/\DeltaiK/Δ, resp. Q^\hat QQ^​, flipped), K=−(r2+a2)ω+amK=-(r^2+a^2)\omega+amK=−(r2+a2)ω+am, Q^=−aωsin⁡θ+m/sin⁡θ\hat Q=-a\omega\sin\theta+m/\sin\thetaQ^​=−aωsinθ+m/sinθ, F±=3(M−Q2/ρˉ)±Q2ρˉ∗/ρˉ2F_\pm=3(M-Q^2/\bar\rho)\pm Q^2\bar\rho^*/\bar\rho^2F±​=3(M−Q2/ρˉ​)±Q2ρˉ​∗/ρˉ​2:

In Lean the four equations are encoded as the vanishing of the residuals res1a, res1b, res1c, res1d (left side minus right side), and Sys1PosAt is their conjunction at a point. System (4) with spin parameter ς\varsigmaς is

(Δ∂r∓i∂θ∓A) y±=(c(ς)I∓B(ς)) y∓,(\sqrt{\Delta}\partial_r\mp i\partial_\theta\mp A)\,y_\pm=(c^{(\varsigma)}I\mp B^{(\varsigma)})\,y_\mp,(Δ​∂r​∓i∂θ​∓A)y±​=(c(ς)I∓B(ς))y∓​,

with AAA, B(ς)B^{(\varsigma)}B(ς), c(ς)c^{(\varsigma)}c(ς) the explicit coefficient data of Hintz eq. (4) (A, Bmat, cscalar); Sys4At is the pair of these vector equations at a point. The chiral variables of eq. (3) are y±(+)=Δ5/4sin⁡θ (ψ2±iΔ−1/2ψ1, −2Q(k±iΔ−1/2s))y_\pm^{(+)}=\Delta^{5/4}\sqrt{\sin\theta}\,\bigl(\psi_2\pm i\Delta^{-1/2}\psi_1,\ -2Q(k\pm i\Delta^{-1/2}s)\bigr)y±(+)​=Δ5/4sinθ​(ψ2​±iΔ−1/2ψ1​, −2Q(k±iΔ−1/2s)) (yPos p (±1) F) and y±(−)=Δ−3/4sin⁡θ (ψ−2∓iΔ1/2ψ−1, 2Q(n∓iΔ1/2ℓ))y_\pm^{(-)}=\Delta^{-3/4}\sqrt{\sin\theta}\,\bigl(\psi_{-2}\mp i\Delta^{1/2}\psi_{-1},\ 2Q(n\mp i\Delta^{1/2}\ell)\bigr)y±(−)​=Δ−3/4sinθ​(ψ−2​∓iΔ1/2ψ−1​, 2Q(n∓iΔ1/2ℓ)) (yNeg p (±1) G).

For fields (ψ2,ψ1,k,s)(\psi_2,\psi_1,k,s)(ψ2​,ψ1​,k,s) slice-differentiable at x∈Ux\in Ux∈U (PosDiff): the four equations of system (1) hold at xxx if and only if system (4) with ς=+1\varsigma=+1ς=+1 holds at xxx for y±=y±(+)y_\pm=y_\pm^{(+)}y±​=y±(+)​,

Sys1PosAt(ω,m,F,x)  ⟺  Sys4At(+1,ω,m, y+(+),y−(+), x).\mathrm{Sys1PosAt}(\omega,m,F,x)\iff\mathrm{Sys4At}(+1,\omega,m,\,y_+^{(+)},y_-^{(+)},\,x).Sys1PosAt(ω,m,F,x)⟺Sys4At(+1,ω,m,y+(+)​,y−(+)​,x).

The forward direction substitutes the four residual identities; the converse uses that the prefactor Δ5/4sin⁡θ\Delta^{5/4}\sqrt{\sin\theta}Δ5/4sinθ​, Δ\sqrt{\Delta}Δ​ and QQQ are nonzero on UUU and inverts the 2×22\times22×2 combinations (−i a+b/Δ, i a+b/Δ)(-i\,a+b/\sqrt{\Delta},\ i\,a+b/\sqrt{\Delta})(−ia+b/Δ​, ia+b/Δ​).

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
