Let K\mathbb{K}K be a field and let V,WV, WV,W be vector spaces over K\mathbb{K}K. For subspaces A⊆VA \subseteq VA⊆V and B⊆WB \subseteq WB⊆W write A⊗BA \otimes BA⊗B for the subspace of V⊗KWV \otimes_{\mathbb{K}} WV⊗K​W spanned by the pure tensors a⊗ba \otimes ba⊗b with a∈Aa \in Aa∈A, b∈Bb \in Bb∈B. In Lean this subspace is Mathlib's LinearMap.range (TensorProduct.mapIncl A B), the image of the map A⊗B→V⊗WA \otimes B \to V \otimes WA⊗B→V⊗W induced by the two inclusions. For every subspace A⊆VA \subseteq VA⊆V and B⊆WB \subseteq WB⊆W,

A⊗B = (A⊗W)∩(V⊗B).A \otimes B \ =\ (A \otimes W) \cap (V \otimes B).A⊗B = (A⊗W)∩(V⊗B).

This reduces intersections of tensor products of subspaces to the one-sided subspaces A⊗WA \otimes WA⊗W and V⊗BV \otimes BV⊗B, and is the main step towards the factorwise intersection formula QLLL.TensorProduct.range_mapIncl_inf_range_mapIncl. It is also used to identify extended constraints in the tensor-product form of the kkk-QSAT corollary.

Formalization Note No finite-dimensionality is assumed. On the platform the name carries a QLLL. prefix so that it cannot clash with Mathlib if an equivalent lemma is added there later.

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.
