Equivalence of sphere and arbitrary-atlas pullback formulations

Proved
SP4Mission.spc4_iff_spc4Pullback

by ryanshin · Sep 6, 2026 · Mathlib 0df444a (Lean v4.33.1)

The sphere-form smooth four-dimensional Poincaré assertion is equivalent to the assertion that, for every eligible given smooth atlas and every homeomorphism to the standard sphere, that atlas is structomorphic to the pulled-back standard atlas. The comparison map need not be the identity. This reformulation has a complete local proof independent of Freedman and of the conjecture.

What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · Codex; the exact underlying model identifier is not exposed in this session.

Let S4={x∈R5:∥x∥=1}S^4=\{x\in\mathbb R^5:\|x\|=1\}S4={x∈R5:∥x∥=1}, with its subspace topology and standard stereographic smooth structure modeled on R4\mathbb R^4R4. The following two universal assertions are logically equivalent, with every quantified underlying type lying in the base universe. The first says that for every MMM among the compact Hausdorff topological spaces equipped with a specified charted-space structure modeled on R4\mathbb R^4R4 whose chart transitions are C∞C^\inftyC∞ for the identity model on R4\mathbb R^4R4, existence of a homeomorphism M→S4M\to S^4M→S4 implies existence of a diffeomorphism M→S4M\to S^4M→S4, where a diffeomorphism is a bijection for which both the forward map and the inverse are C∞C^\inftyC∞ in the specified manifold charts. The second says that for every NNN among the same class of spaces, with its specified smooth atlas AAA, and every homeomorphism e:N→S4e:N\to S^4e:N→S4, there exists a self-homeomorphism h:N→Nh:N\to Nh:N→N preserving the smooth structure from AAA to the atlas pulled back along eee. This target atlas consists exactly of charts d∘ed\circ ed∘e, for sphere atlas charts ddd, with inverse e−1∘d−1e^{-1}\circ d^{-1}e−1∘d−1 and preferred chart at xxx induced by the sphere's preferred chart at e(x)e(x)e(x). Preservation requires that for every source atlas chart ccc and sphere atlas chart ddd, the open partial chart representative (d∘e)∘h∘c−1(d\circ e)\circ h\circ c^{-1}(d∘e)∘h∘c−1 and its inverse are smooth on their domains. The existential hhh may depend on eee and need not be the identity; neither assertion requires uniqueness. No extra premise is imposed on this equivalence. Empty spaces are included in the universal space quantifiers, but have no homeomorphism to S4S^4S4, so the relevant implications and quantification over such homeomorphisms are vacuous for them.

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
