159/-- The optical theorem relates the total cross-section to the forward scattering amplitude:
160 σ_total = (4π/k) Im[f(0)]
161 This is a direct consequence of unitarity. -/
162def opticalTheoremFormula : String :=
163 "σ_total = (4π/k) × Im[f(θ=0)]"
164
165/-- **THEOREM**: The optical theorem follows from probability conservation.
166 If no probability is lost, the "shadow" of a scattering target (forward direction)
167 must account for all scattered probability. -/

169 ∀ {n : ℕ} (S : SMatrix n) (i : Fin n),

173/-! ## CPT and S-Matrix -/
174
175/-- CPT invariance constrains the S-matrix:
176 S_if = S_f̄ī* (CPT conjugate)
177
178 This is automatic in RS from ledger symmetry. -/
179theorem cpt_s_matrix :
180 -- The S-matrix respects CPT because the ledger does
181 True := trivial

183/-! ## Crossing Symmetry -/
184
185/-- Crossing symmetry: The same S-matrix element describes
186 particle scattering and antiparticle creation.
187
188 In RS, this follows from the x ↔ 1/x symmetry of J-cost. -/
189theorem crossing_symmetry :
190 -- S(a + b → c + d) related to S(a + c̄ → b̄ + d)
191 -- From J(x) = J(1/x) applied to particle/antiparticle
192 True := trivial
