A complex number times its own conjugate is its squared modulus

Identifier: F:complex-mul-conj
Proof route: kernel-lean
External status: proved
Axiom footprint: Empty

Recorded description

For a constructed complex number x, x * conj(x) is Complex.Equiv-equivalent to the real embedding of normSq(x) -- the identity underlying |x|^2 = x * conj(x) and the standard construction of a complex field inverse from a real one.

Formal statement

theorem Complex.mul_conj : ((x0 : Complex) -> Complex.Equiv (Complex.mul x0 (Complex.conj x0)) (Complex.ofReal (Complex.normSq x0)))

Evidence

kernel-Complex.mul_conj

Kind: kernel-term
Status: checked

Supports: Complex.mul_conj is admitted by the trusted kernel gate with the type recorded in formal.statement.

Checker command

cargo run -q --release -p axeyum-lean-kernel --example theorem_dependency_inventory -- Complex.mul_conj 2>/dev/null | grep -cE '^Complex\.mul_conj[[:space:]]'

Evidence notes

`build_complex_prelude` admits Complex.mul_conj through the trusted `Kernel::add_declaration` gate, which re-checks the proof term against the stated type, so a line in this tool's output for the exact name is a machine-checked proof having been admitted. `theorem_dependency_inventory` builds creal/complex/cpoint (extended 2026-08-25); it exits non-zero for a named filter that matches nothing, and `grep -c` (never `-q`) independently asserts the exact tab-anchored line is present. `--release` is MANDATORY: building the constructed carriers recurses deep enough in a debug build to overflow the default thread stack (measured on this tree: release exits 0, debug SIGABRTs at 134) -- the same resource-limit gotcha documented for `prelude_theorem_inventory --include-constructed`.

footprint-Complex.mul_conj

Kind: exhaustive-enumeration
Status: checked

Supports: axiom_footprint: [] -- the Complex prelude's trusted surface is empty

Checker command

cargo run -q --release -p axeyum-lean-kernel --example nat_axiom_inventory -- --include-constructed --require-axiom-free complex

Evidence notes

`nat_axiom_inventory --include-constructed` builds the Complex environment as its own group and reports `complex: axiom=0 opaque=0 quotient=0 total_trusted=0` (re-measured on this tree). That bounds every individual Complex theorem's footprint by [], since a theorem cannot depend on a trusted declaration the environment does not contain, and the enumeration covers Axiom, Opaque AND Quotient, not just Declaration::Axiom. `--include-constructed` is REQUIRED here -- without it `--require-axiom-free complex` is an error (verified: exit 1, '"complex" is not enumerated by this run'), not a silent pass, because complex is not built at all without the flag; this is the standing trap of an empty/absent result reading as a strong negative when the tool was never pointed at the subject.
