proof body

Term-mode proof.

  90  have h := h_pt lam μ
  91  simp only [minkowski_christoffel_zero_proper, zero_mul, Finset.sum_const_zero, add_zero] at h

  94/-- Parallel transport preserves the metric inner product.
  95    If V, W are parallel-transported along γ, then g(V,W) is constant.
  96
  97    g_{μν} V^μ W^ν = const along γ

  99    This is a consequence of metric compatibility ∇g = 0. -/
