The Schnirelmann density of the two-odd-prime sumset is at least 1/22001/22001/2200.

Let B={(p−3)/2:pB=\{(p-3)/2 : pB={(p−3)/2:p an odd prime}\}} and A=B+BA=B+BA=B+B (pointwise sumset), so that t∈At\in At∈A exactly when 2t+62t+62t+6 is a sum of two odd primes. Then

σ(A)  ≥  12200,\sigma(A)\;\ge\;\frac{1}{2200},σ(A)≥22001​,

where σ(S)=inf⁡n≥1∣S∩{1,…,n}∣/n\sigma(S)=\inf_{n\ge 1}|S\cap\{1,\dots,n\}|/nσ(S)=infn≥1​∣S∩{1,…,n}∣/n is the Schnirelmann density.

This is the sharpest density input currently available for the odd-Goldbach campaign: it strengthens the published bound Schnir.density_A (1/350001/350001/35000) by a factor of sixteen, and is the number that the accepted proof of odd_sum_le_6101_primes derives internally (its parts a–d: a first moment for the representation count r(s)r(s)r(s) from the prime-counting lower bound, Abel summation for the weight log⁡2s/s\log^2 s/slog2s/s, and a weighted Cauchy–Schwarz against the Selberg-type pointwise bound and the mean square of the singular series). Publishing it as a standalone theorem makes it importable: combined with Mann's theorem σ(D+E)≥min⁡(1,σ(D)+σ(E))\sigma(D+E)\ge\min(1,\sigma(D)+\sigma(E))σ(D+E)≥min(1,σ(D)+σ(E)), it yields σ(1100A)≥1/2\sigma(1100A)\ge 1/2σ(1100A)≥1/2 and hence that every odd number greater than 111 is a sum of at most 440144014401 primes, improving on 610161016101.

Formalization Note AAA and BBB are the definitions of Schnir.A and Schnir.B from Def_Schnir_defs; the DecidablePred instance is provided classically (open Classical). The Lean derivation is extracted verbatim (parts a–d) from the accepted solution dfb232e4 of odd_sum_le_6101_primes by xuanji, contributed there under Apache 2.0, and reuses the proved platform theorems Schnir.pi_lower, Schnir.pointwise_bound, and Schnir.C_mean.

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.
