2021 Xena Summer Projects
So I spent July and August supervising mathematics undergraduates who were doing Lean projects in various areas of mathematics. Conformal maps, Euclid’s SAS theorem, nilpotent groups and the Radon-Nikodym theorem are just some of the topics I’ve been engaging with … Continue reading
Half a year of the Liquid Tensor Experiment: Amazing developments
[This is a guest post by Peter Scholze.] Exactly half a year ago I wrote the Liquid Tensor Experiment blog post, challenging the formalization of a difficult foundational theorem from my Analytic Geometry lecture notes on joint work with Dustin … Continue reading
Formalising Mathematics : workshop 8 — group cohomology
A brief description of group cohomology H^0 and H^1, plus links to how to formalise this stuff in Lean. Continue reading
Formalising Mathematics : workshop 6 — limits
I talked about limits of sequences of real numbers in workshop 3, but this week I come back to them, because this week we’ll see that the usual ten-line proof that if and then can be replaced by a two-line … Continue reading
