I'm sure there is a better place to post a wall of math than this forum.

It's published as an appendix, in the discussion section. People aren't expected to read the appendices unless they are interested in why something is assumed in the main paper or the details happen to be important to their work somehow. I approve of splitting of the mathematical details into an appendix like this---the only downside is the cost to the author of producing the work.
