   6# Discrete Bianchi Identity (Hamber-Kagel)
   7
   8Formalizes the exact discrete Bianchi identity for Regge calculus,
   9following Hamber and Kagel (2004). This is the discrete analog of
  10the contracted Bianchi identity nabla^mu G_mu_nu = 0.
  11
  12## Physical Significance
  13
  14In continuum GR, the Bianchi identity nabla^mu G_mu_nu = 0 is a
  15geometric identity (consequence of the Riemann tensor symmetries).
  16Combined with the Einstein equations G_mu_nu = kappa T_mu_nu, it
  17forces nabla^mu T_mu_nu = 0 (energy-momentum conservation).
  18
  19In Regge calculus, the analogous identity constrains deficit angles
  20at neighbouring hinges. It states that the product of rotation
  21matrices (holonomies) along any null-homotopic path is the identity.
  22
  23## Key Results
  24
  25- `holonomy_trivial`: product of rotations around a contractible loop = 1
  26- `discrete_bianchi`: constraint on deficit angles at shared edges
  27- `conservation_from_bianchi`: discrete conservation law follows

  40/-- A rotation in the plane perpendicular to a hinge, parameterized
  41    by the deficit angle. In D dimensions, this is an SO(D) rotation
  42    in the 2-plane normal to the (D-2)-dimensional hinge.
  43
  44    For 3D: the hinge is an edge, and the rotation is in the plane
  45    perpendicular to that edge. The rotation angle equals the deficit. -/

  60
  61/-- **DISCRETE BIANCHI IDENTITY (Hamber-Kagel)**:
  62    The product of rotation matrices along any null-homotopic path
  63    through the dual lattice is the identity matrix.
  64
  65    In terms of deficit angles: for any closed loop of hinges sharing
  66    a common vertex, the sum of (signed) deficit angles equals zero
  67    modulo 2*pi.
  68
  69    More precisely: for the hinges h_1, ..., h_n forming a closed
  70    path around a vertex v in the dual complex:
  71      sum_{i=1}^n delta_{h_i} = 0  (mod 2*pi)
  72
  73    In the linearized (small-angle) regime, this becomes:
  74      sum_{i=1}^n delta_{h_i} = 0  (exactly)
  75
  76    This is the geometric identity that, combined with the Regge
  77    equations, forces discrete energy-momentum conservation. -/

  79  ∃ n : ℤ, deficit_angles.sum = 2 * Real.pi * n
  80
  81/-- In the linearized regime (small deficit angles), the Bianchi
  82    identity reduces to: sum of deficit angles = 0 exactly. -/
  83def linearized_bianchi (deficit_angles : List ℝ) : Prop :=
  84  deficit_angles.sum = 0

 103
 104/-! ## Conservation from Bianchi -/
 105
 106/-- The discrete conservation law: if the Regge equations hold
 107    (delta S / delta L_e = 0 for all edges e) and the discrete
 108    Bianchi identity holds, then the discrete stress-energy is
 109    conserved.
 110
 111    This mirrors the continuum: nabla^mu G_mu_nu = 0 (Bianchi)
 112    + G_mu_nu = kappa T_mu_nu (Einstein) => nabla^mu T_mu_nu = 0.
 113
 114    Formally: if Regge equations imply deficit angles are
 115    determined by areas (via dA/dL * delta = 0), and Bianchi
 116    constrains deficit angles, then the "source" (matter contribution
 117    to dS/dL) is also constrained. -/

 128/-! ## Connection to Continuum Bianchi -/
 129
 130/-- In the continuum limit, the discrete Bianchi identity becomes
 131    the contracted Bianchi identity: nabla^mu G_mu_nu = 0.
 132
 133    The key steps (not fully formalized here):
 134    1. Discrete holonomy around a plaquette -> Riemann tensor
 135    2. Discrete Bianchi (holonomy around contractible loop = 1)
 136       -> algebraic Bianchi R_{[mu nu rho]sigma} = 0
 137    3. Contract -> nabla^mu G_mu_nu = 0
 138
 139    We state this as a hypothesis for the continuum limit. -/
