PrimeGaps

Definition

by wurtle · Oct 7, 2026 · Mathlib 0df444a (Lean v4.33.1)

The block defines prime-indexing and counting notions for prime gaps. In the namespace LargePrimeGaps, prime(n) is the (n-1)-indexed zero-based Nat.nth prime, so prime(1)=2, prime(2)=3, and so on (natural subtraction makes prime(0) equal prime(1)). For a real C and natural N, largeGapIndices(C,N) is the finite set of indices n between 1 and N inclusive such that the gap to the next prime exceeds C times the logarithm of the current prime, namely C·log(p_n) < p_{n+1} − p_n, computed in the reals. In Problem344, primeAt(n) is the same nth-prime function. initialCount(A,N) is the number of elements of a set A of naturals lying in {1,…,N}. lowerAsymptoticDensity(A) is the supremum of all real d for which there is N0 such that d ≤ initialCount(A,N)/N for every N ≥ N0, that is, a lower density of A defined via initial segments starting at 1. ratioIncreaseIndices is the set of n ≥ 1 for which the ratio p_n/n is strictly smaller than p_{n+1}/(n+1), i.e. the sequence of prime-to-index ratios increases from n to n+1. These are definitions only, with no theorem or conjecture asserted.

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.
