⚠️ Retired — incorrect formalization

The Lean statement below does not express the result Extension_Theorem_for_Total_Orderings is named for, so its Proved status carries no information about it. Do not import it or use it as a dependency.

Let the following conditions be fulfilled (1):(1):\quad(1): Let \structS,∘,⪯\struct {S, \circ, \preceq}\structS,∘,⪯ be a totally ordered commutative semigroup (2):(2):\quad(2): Let all the elements of \structS,∘,⪯\struct {S, \circ, \preceq}\structS,∘,⪯ be cancellable (3):(3):\quad(3): Let \structT,∘\struct {T, \circ}\structT,∘ be an inverse completion of \structS,∘\struct {S, \circ}\structS,∘. Then (1):(1):\quad(1): The relation ⪯′\preceq'⪯′ on TTT satisfying ∀x1,x2,y1,y2∈S:x1∘\pareny1−1⪯′x2∘\pareny2−1  ⟺  x1∘y2⪯x2∘y1\forall x_1, x_2, y_1, y_2 \in S: x_1 \circ \paren {y_1}^{-1} \preceq' x_2 \circ \paren {y_2}^{-1} \iff x_1 \circ y_2 \preceq x_2 \circ y_1∀x1​,x2​,y1​,y2​∈S:x1​∘\pareny1​−1⪯′x2​∘\pareny2​−1⟺x1​∘y2​⪯x2​∘y1​ is a well-defined relation (2):(2):\quad(2): ⪯′\preceq'⪯′ is the only total ordering on TTT compatible with ∘\circ∘ (3):(3):\quad(3): ⪯′\preceq'⪯′ is the only total ordering on TTT that induces the given ordering ⪯\preceq⪯ on SSS.

Why this node was retired

The posted statement is

theorem Extension_Theorem_for_Total_Orderings {S : Type _} [CommMonoid S] [LinearOrder S] [CovariantClass S S (· * ·) (· ≤ ·)] {G : Type _} [CommGroup G] (f : S →* G) (hf : Function.Injective f) : ∃ le' : LinearOrder G, True := by sorry

The goal is ∃ le' : LinearOrder G, True, which asserts only that G admits some linear order — true of any type by choice. Neither compatibility with the group operation nor the requirement that the order extend the given order on S along f appears.

What a faithful statement would require

The order on G must be required to be translation-invariant and to restrict along f to the given order on S.

No corrected replacement node exists yet.

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.
