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

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. -/

129
130/-- On the flat cubic lattice Z^3, each edge is shared by 4 cubes.
131 Each cube contributes dihedral angle pi/2.

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 :=

165 regge_action hinges = 0 := by

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),

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. -/

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
