IndisputableMonolith.Relativity.Geometry.Curvature
Curvature module defines Christoffel symbols and the derived Riemann, Ricci, and Einstein tensors from a given metric. Researchers building the discrete-to-continuum bridge or proving the fundamental theorem of pseudo-Riemannian geometry cite these objects. The module consists of definitions plus symmetry and Minkowski-vanishing lemmas.
claimChristoffel symbols are given by $Γ^ρ_{μν} = ½ g^{ρσ}(∂_μ g_{νσ} + ∂_ν g_{μσ} − ∂_σ g_{μν})$. The Riemann tensor, Ricci tensor, Ricci scalar, and Einstein tensor are obtained by the usual contractions and covariant derivatives of these symbols.
background
The module sits inside the pseudo-Riemannian geometry layer of the IndisputableMonolith stack. It imports the metric tensor, the tensor algebra, and the derivative operators that supply the coordinate basis vectors $e_μ$. Tensor itself is marked as a scaffold outside the certificate chain.
proof idea
This is a definition module, no proofs.
why it matters in Recognition Science
It supplies the connection coefficients required by CovariantDerivative, ParallelTransport, and LeviCivitaTheorem. Downstream, DiscreteBridge routes the definitions into the lattice-to-Einstein-tensor map, while MetricUnification uses them to identify the RS-derived Minkowski metric with the IM eta tensor.
scope and limits
- Does not prove existence or uniqueness of the Levi-Civita connection.
- Does not derive the metric from the Recognition Science forcing chain.
- Does not treat discrete lattice curvature or J-cost defects.
- Does not compute curvature invariants beyond the Einstein tensor.
