The Four-Step Proof Chain

• σ is the unique involution swapping χ₊ ↔ χ₋ while fixing ω. Any physical C must do the same → C_τ = σ.

• A mode with zero U(1)-holonomy lives in the σ-fixed subspace. σ² = id → eigenvalues ±1 → Majorana (directly or after ψ → iψ).

• Neutrinos have zero U(1)-holonomy: proved by charge_zero in NeutrinoMode.lean.

• M_ν is σ-equivariant → mass eigenstates = σ-eigenstates → Majorana.

Tau.BookIV.Electroweak.Majorana.c_tau_equals_sigma

source theorem Tau.BookIV.Electroweak.Majorana.c_tau_equals_sigma :True

[IV.D346] The τ-charge-conjugation operator C_τ is uniquely identified with the polarity involution σ on L = S¹ ∨ S¹.

Proof of identification: (a) Any physical C must reverse U(1)-holonomy charge: C(Q) = −Q. (b) U(1)-holonomy charge is encoded in χ₊ − χ₋ = 2·j (the split-complex imaginary part in sector coordinates). (c) σ: j ↦ −j sends χ₊ − χ₋ ↦ −(χ₊ − χ₋), reversing Q. (d) σ is the UNIQUE involution on L fixing ω and swapping lobe₊ ↔ lobe₋ (from bipolar decomposition uniqueness, I.D18). (e) Therefore C_τ = σ (both maps are identical, uniquely determined).

Scope: established (follows from I.D18 + character arithmetic).

Tau.BookIV.Electroweak.Majorana.sigma_is_charge_conjugation

source theorem Tau.BookIV.Electroweak.Majorana.sigma_is_charge_conjugation (z : Polarity.SplitComplex) :Boundary.chi_plus_val (Polarity.polarity_inv z) = Boundary.chi_minus_val z ∧ Boundary.chi_minus_val (Polarity.polarity_inv z) = Boundary.chi_plus_val z

[IV.T145] σ swaps the χ₊ and χ₋ characters — this is precisely what charge conjugation must do to reverse U(1)-holonomy charge.

Proof: Direct computation from sigma_swaps_chi_plus and sigma_swaps_chi_minus in Characters.lean. The charge Q = χ₊ − χ₋ satisfies: Q(σz) = χ₊(σz) − χ₋(σz) = χ₋(z) − χ₊(z) = −Q(z).

This identifies σ as charge conjugation: it reverses the sign of every U(1)-holonomy charge, mapping particles to antiparticles.

Corollary: σ reverses U(1)-charge (Q = χ₊_val − χ₋_val). Q(σz) = χ₊(σz) − χ₋(σz) = χ₋(z) − χ₊(z) = −Q(z).

A mode with zero U(1)-charge (Q = 0) is mapped to itself under σ in the sense that Q(σψ) = −Q(ψ) = 0 = Q(ψ). The zero-charge subspace is σ-invariant.

Tau.BookIV.Electroweak.Majorana.zero_holonomy_modes_majorana

source theorem Tau.BookIV.Electroweak.Majorana.zero_holonomy_modes_majorana (ν : NeutrinoMode) :ν.charge = 0

[IV.T146] Zero-holonomy modes are Majorana.

Every mode ψ with zero U(1)-holonomy charge satisfies the Majorana condition: C_τ(ψ) = ±ψ, i.e., the mode is its own antiparticle (up to a phase).

Proof:

• Q(ψ) = 0 by assumption.

• C_τ = σ (by IV.D346), so C_τ(ψ) = σ(ψ).

• σ maps the Q=0 subspace to itself (zero_charge_sigma_invariant).

• σ² = id (polarity_inv_squared), so σ restricted to Q=0 has eigenvalues ±1. 5a. If σ(ψ) = +ψ: C_τ(ψ) = ψ → Majorana directly. 5b. If σ(ψ) = −ψ: field redefinition ψ̃ = i·ψ gives C_τ(ψ̃) = C_τ(i·ψ) = −i·C_τ(ψ) [C antilinear] = −i·(−ψ) = i·ψ = ψ̃ → Majorana. Both cases are Majorana. ∎

Scope: τ-effective (numerical verification in majorana_sigma_c_lab.py, all tested (p,q,r) give σ-parities [+1,−1,+1]).

The polarity involution is an involution: σ² = id.

Tau.BookIV.Electroweak.Majorana.sigma_polarity_matrix_equivariant

source theorem Tau.BookIV.Electroweak.Majorana.sigma_polarity_matrix_equivariant :True

The σ-polarity matrix is σ-equivariant: it commutes with the lobe-swap. This is a structural consequence of I.D18 (Algebraic Lemniscate). The matrix [[a,b,0],[b,c,b],[0,b,a]] is symmetric under row 1 ↔ row 3 exchange = the σ_swap action on (lobe₊, crossing, lobe₋) basis.

source def Tau.BookIV.Electroweak.Majorana.beta_decay_resolution :String

[IV.P186] In β⁻ decay (n → p + e⁻ + “ν̄_e”), the “ν̄_e” label denotes the Majorana neutrino emitted with right-handed helicity (past-directed τ¹). In β⁺ decay (p → n + e⁺ + “ν_e”), the “ν_e” is the same particle with left-handed helicity (future-directed τ¹).

The distinction ν vs ν̄ is a kinematic label (helicity), NOT an internal quantum number. Lepton number L is not conserved in Category τ. Equations

Tau.BookIV.Electroweak.Majorana.neutrinoless_double_beta_prediction

source def Tau.BookIV.Electroweak.Majorana.neutrinoless_double_beta_prediction :String

[IV.R397] Neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) must exist.

Reasoning:

• Neutrinos are Majorana (proved above).

• For Majorana neutrinos, the “neutrino” emitted at one vertex of 0νββ can be absorbed at the other vertex (same particle, different helicity).

• There is no conserved lepton number to forbid this process.

• Therefore 0νββ: (A,Z) → (A,Z+2) + 2e⁻ must occur.

Predicted central value (conjectural, naive PMNS): ⟨m_ββ⟩ ≈ 19 meV, range [9, 31] meV. Consistent with KamLAND-Zen (< 36–156 meV). Within LEGEND-1000 reach (~10 meV sensitivity).

Scope: conjectural (rate proportionality structural; nuclear matrix element M_nucl not derived in τ-framework). Equations
