   5# Full Regge Calculus on the RS Lattice
   6
   7Formalizes the exact (nonlinear) Regge calculus framework for the RS
   8discrete gravity programme. This replaces the linearized deficit-angle
   9ansatz (Assumption A2 in the paper) with the full Regge machinery.
  10
  11## Physical Picture
  12
  13Regge calculus (1961) replaces smooth spacetime with a piecewise-flat
  14simplicial complex. Curvature is concentrated on codimension-2 hinges.
  15The Regge action is S = sum over hinges of (area × deficit angle).
  16
  17In the RS context, the lattice is Z^3 × Z (spatial × temporal),
  18and the edge lengths are determined by the J-cost defect field.
  19
  20## Definitions
  21
  22- `Simplex4D`: a 4-simplex with 10 edge lengths
  23- `HingeData`: area and deficit angle at a codimension-2 hinge
  24- `ReggeAction`: S_Regge = sum_h A_h * delta_h
  25- `DihedralAngle`: exact dihedral angle from edge lengths via the Cayley-Menger determinant
  26
  27## Key Results
  28
  29- `regge_action_nonneg_flat`: S_Regge = 0 for flat configurations
  30- `deficit_from_dihedral`: deficit = 2*pi - sum of dihedral angles
  31- `regge_action_gauss_bonnet`: total deficit sums to 4*pi*chi for closed 2-surfaces

  83/-! ## Dihedral Angles -/
  84
  85/-- The dihedral angle of a tetrahedron along edge (0,1) is the angle
  86    between the two faces sharing that edge: face (0,1,2) and face (0,1,3).
  87
  88    For a regular tetrahedron with all edges = a:
  89    theta = arccos(1/3) ≈ 70.53°
  90
  91    The exact formula involves the Cayley-Menger determinant, but for
  92    formalization we parameterize by the cosine value directly. -/

 106
 107/-! ## Deficit Angles -/
 108
 109/-- A hinge in Regge calculus is a codimension-2 face.
 110    In 4D: a hinge is a triangle (2-face).
 111    In 3D: a hinge is an edge (1-face).
 112
 113    The deficit angle at a hinge is 2*pi minus the sum of dihedral
 114    angles of all simplices meeting at that hinge. -/

 117  dihedral_angles : List ℝ
 118  area_pos : 0 < area
 119
 120/-- The deficit angle at a hinge: 2*pi - sum of dihedral angles. -/
 121noncomputable def deficit_angle (h : HingeData) : ℝ :=
 122  2 * Real.pi - h.dihedral_angles.sum
 123
 124/-- For a flat configuration, all hinges have zero deficit. -/
 125theorem flat_deficit_zero (h : HingeData)
 126    (h_flat : h.dihedral_angles.sum = 2 * Real.pi) :
 127    deficit_angle h = 0 := by
 128  unfold deficit_angle; linarith
 129
 130/-- On the flat cubic lattice Z^3, each edge is shared by 4 cubes.
 131    Each cube contributes dihedral angle pi/2.
 132    Sum = 4 * pi/2 = 2*pi, so deficit = 0. -/

 138    (h_less : h.dihedral_angles.sum < 2 * Real.pi) :
 139    0 < deficit_angle h := by

 147
 148/-! ## The Regge Action -/
 149
 150/-- The Regge action: sum over all hinges of (area × deficit angle).
 151    S_Regge = sum_h A_h * delta_h
 152
 153    This is the discrete analog of the Einstein-Hilbert action:
 154    S_EH = (1/2kappa) * integral R * sqrt(g) d^4x
 155
 156    The key insight: the Regge action requires NO background metric,
 157    NO coordinates, NO derivatives. It is defined purely from
 158    edge lengths and combinatorial data. -/
 159noncomputable def regge_action (hinges : List HingeData) : ℝ :=
 160  (hinges.map (fun h => h.area * deficit_angle h)).sum
 161
 162/-- The Regge action vanishes for flat configurations. -/
 163theorem regge_action_flat (hinges : List HingeData)
 164    (h_flat : ∀ h ∈ hinges, deficit_angle h = 0) :
 165    regge_action hinges = 0 := by
 166  unfold regge_action

 173/-- The Regge equations: stationarity of S_Regge with respect to edge
 174    lengths L_e gives the discrete Einstein equations.
 175
 176    delta S_Regge / delta L_e = sum_h (dA_h/dL_e * delta_h + A_h * d(delta_h)/dL_e) = 0
 177
 178    In Regge calculus, the remarkable identity (Regge 1961, Schläfli):
 179    sum_h A_h * d(delta_h)/dL_e = 0
 180
 181    So the Regge equations simplify to:
 182    sum_h (dA_h/dL_e) * delta_h = 0 -/
 183def regge_equations_statement : Prop :=
 184  ∀ (hinges : List HingeData),
 185    ∃ (dA_dL : List ℝ),
 186      dA_dL.length = hinges.length ∧
 187      (List.zipWith (· * ·) dA_dL (hinges.map deficit_angle)).sum = 0
 188
 189/-- The Schläfli identity: the sum of A_h * d(delta_h)/dL_e vanishes
 190    identically. This is a geometric identity, not a dynamical equation. -/
 191def schlafli_identity : Prop :=
 192  ∀ (hinges : List HingeData),
 193    ∀ (d_delta_dL : List ℝ),
 194      (List.zipWith (· * ·) (hinges.map HingeData.area) d_delta_dL).sum = 0
 195
 196/-! ## Connection to RS -/
 197
 198/-- In the RS framework, the edge lengths are determined by the J-cost
 199    defect field. For a lattice with spacing a and defect density rho:
 200    L_e = a * (1 + kappa_RS * rho(x))^(1/D) approximately.
 201
 202    The exact relationship is:
 203    L_e^2 = a^2 * g_{mu nu}(x) * dx^mu * dx^nu
 204
 205    where g = eta + h is the full metric and h is determined by J-cost. -/

 210    0 < rs_edge_length a g :=
 211  mul_pos ha (Real.sqrt_pos.mpr hg)
 212
 213/-- The RS Regge action inherits kappa = 8*phi^5 from the defect-to-metric
 214    mapping. In the continuum limit:
 215    S_Regge -> (1/2*kappa) * integral R * sqrt(g) d^4x
 216    with kappa = 8*phi^5. -/
