PhysicsFormalization 🚀

A formal verification library for fundamental physics written in Lean 4 and supported by Mathlib 4[cite: 6].

This project aims to formally define and prove core physical theorems, bridging the gap between theoretical models, experimental bounds (such as relativistic PPN metrics), and quantum mechanical frameworks[cite: 6].


📋 Overview

The workspace covers three main physical domains[cite: 6]:

  1. Analytical Mechanics & Variational Principles[cite: 6]

    • Formalization of configuration paths, variations, and action functionals[cite: 6].
    • Rigorous formal statement of the Calculus of Variations and the Euler-Lagrange equations[cite: 6].
    • Modular definitions split across dedicated analytical mechanics submodules.
  2. General Relativity & Post-Newtonian Formalism (PPN)[cite: 6]

    • Formalization of the Parameterized Post-Newtonian (PPN) parameter space ($\gamma, \beta, \alpha_1, \alpha_2$)[cite: 6].
    • Proof of Local Lorentz Invariance (LLI) under General Relativity ($\alpha_1 = 0$)[cite: 4, 6].
    • Orbital dynamics modeling anomalous node precession for satellite orbits ($\text{LAGEOS}$)[cite: 1, 2, 6].
    • Experimental verification bounds based on the SaToR-G experiment (INAF/INFN), establishing strict constraint checks ($\vert{}\alpha_1\vert{} \le 2 \times 10^{-5}$)[cite: 6].
  3. Quantum Mechanics & Hilbert Spaces[cite: 6]

    • Definitions of normalized quantum states in complex Hilbert spaces ($\Vert{}\psi\Vert{} = 1$)[cite: 6].
    • Self-adjoint linear operators modeling physical observables ($\langle Ax, y \rangle = \langle x, Ay \rangle$)[cite: 6].
    • Formal proof of the Reality Theorem of Expectation Values: $\text{Im}(\langle \psi, A\psi \rangle) = 0$[cite: 6].

⚙️ Environment & Requirements
To successfully build and verify this library, ensure you have the following toolchain versions installed:
Lean 4 Version: v4.33.0-rc1 (or compatible versions specified in lean-toolchain)
Dependency Manager: elan (the Lean version manager) and lake (Lean's build system)
You can manage Lean toolchains easily via elan.

🛠️ Build & Compilation Instructions
Clone the repository:
Bash
git clone [https://github.com/toshiro881967-coder/PhysicsFormalization.git](https://github.com/toshiro881967-coder/PhysicsFormalization.git)
cd PhysicsFormalization
Fetch dependencies and build Mathlib/Project components:
lake will automatically download the correct Lean toolchain specified in the lean-toolchain file and fetch precompiled Mathlib build caches.
Bash
lake update
lake build
Verify individual modules:
To check a specific file (e.g., the variational mechanics module):
Bash
lake build Physics.AnalyticalMechanics.EulerLagrange
