Throughout, (M,a,Q) is a subextremal Kerr–Newman background (M>0, Q=0, a2+Q2<M2), Δ=r2−2Mr+a2+Q2, ρˉ=r+iacosθ, ρˉ∗=r−iacosθ, U={r>r+,0<θ<π}, and D−=Δ∂r−i∂θ,D+=Δ∂r+i∂θ act through coordinate-slice derivatives; the mode parameters are ω,m∈R. System (1) (positive spin, Hintz eqs (1a)–(1d)) for the four fields (ψ2,ψ1,k,s) reads, with Dj=∂r+ΔiK+jΔΔ′, Lj=∂θ+Q^+jcotθ, their daggers (sign of iK/Δ, resp. Q^, flipped), K=−(r2+a2)ω+am, Q^=−aωsinθ+m/sinθ, F±=3(M−Q2/ρˉ)±Q2ρˉ∗/ρˉ2:
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 is
(Δ∂r∓i∂θ∓A)y±=(c(ς)I∓B(ς))y∓,
with A, B(ς), 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±(+)=Δ5/4sinθ(ψ2±iΔ−1/2ψ1,−2Q(k±iΔ−1/2s)) (yPos p (±1) F) and y±(−)=Δ−3/4sinθ(ψ−2∓iΔ1/2ψ−1,2Q(n∓iΔ1/2ℓ)) (yNeg p (±1) G).
For fields (ψ2,ψ1,k,s) slice-differentiable at x∈U (PosDiff): the four equations of system (1) hold at x if and only if system (4) with ς=+1 holds at x for y±=y±(+),
The forward direction substitutes the four residual identities; the converse uses that the prefactor Δ5/4sinθ, Δ and Q are nonzero on U and inverts the 2×2 combinations (−ia+b/Δ,ia+b/Δ).
