A Formalization of Dedekind Domains and Class Groups of Global Fields

Authors: Anne Baanen, Sander R. Dahmen, Ashvni Narayanan, and Filippo A. E. Nuccio Mortarino Majno di Capriglio

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 193, 12th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2021)

Abstract

Dedekind domains and their class groups are notions in commutative algebra that are essential in algebraic number theory. We formalized these structures and several fundamental properties, including number theoretic finiteness results for class groups, in the Lean prover as part of the mathlib mathematical library. This paper describes the formalization process, noting the idioms we found useful in our development and mathlib’s decentralized collaboration processes involved in this project.

Formalizing the Solution to the Cap Set Problem

Authors: Sander R. Dahmen, Johannes Hölzl, and Robert Y. Lewis

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 141, 10th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2019)

Abstract

In 2016, Ellenberg and Gijswijt established a new upper bound on the size of subsets of F^n_q with no three-term arithmetic progression. This problem has received much mathematical attention, particularly in the case q = 3, where it is commonly known as the cap set problem. Ellenberg and Gijswijt’s proof was published in the Annals of Mathematics and is noteworthy for its clever use of elementary methods. This paper describes a formalization of this proof in the Lean proof assistant, including both the general result in F^n_q and concrete values for the case q = 3. We faithfully follow the pen and paper argument to construct the bound. Our work shows that (some) modern mathematics is within the range of proof assistants.
