Proved with no Open theorem dependencies, verified 29 September 2026. Checked locally with Lean 4.33.1 and the proposal’s pinned Mathlib. An independent blind readback is attached.

If both a multihomogeneous ideal and its order-T differential prolongation incompletely define the same translate of a connected algebraic subgroup, its original multiplicity is at least binomial(T+s,s), where s is the analytic codimension.

What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · gpt-6

Let KKK be any nontrivially normed field for which there is an isometric field isomorphism either K≅CK\cong\mathbb CK≅C, or K≅CpK\cong\mathbb C_pK≅Cp​ for some prime natural number ppp, where Cp\mathbb C_pCp​ is the field denoted by PadicComplex(p)\mathrm{PadicComplex}(p)PadicComplex(p). For every embedded product GGG, every analytic datum AAA, every connected algebraic subgroup HHH, every g∈Gg\in Gg∈G, every ideal I⊆RI\subseteq RI⊆R closed under all block-homogeneous component projections, and every T∈NT\in\mathbb NT∈N, put V=g+HV=g+HV=g+H. Assume that V={x∈G:P(x)=0 for every P∈JV}V=\{x\in G:P(x)=0\text{ for every }P\in J_V\}V={x∈G:P(x)=0 for every P∈JV​} and that every minimal prime q\mathfrak qq of JVJ_VJV​ whose equations vanish at some point of GGG is a minimal prime of JG+IJ_G+IJG​+I. Assume the same two requirements with III replaced by DAT(I)\mathcal D_A^T(I)DAT​(I). Then those requirements with the original III hold, and for every prime q\mathfrak qq minimal over JVJ_VJV​ whose equations vanish at some point of GGG, the length of Rq/(JG+I)RqR_{\mathfrak q}/(J_G+I)R_{\mathfrak q}Rq​/(JG​+I)Rq​ as an RqR_{\mathfrak q}Rq​-module is at least (T+aA(H)aA(H))\binom{T+a_A(H)}{a_A(H)}(aA​(H)T+aA​(H)​). Length takes values in N∪{∞}\mathbb N\cup\{\infty\}N∪{∞}; it is zero for the zero module and ∞\infty∞ for a module of infinite length. The codimension in the binomial is computed from the subgroup HHH through zero, whereas the component conditions concern V=g+HV=g+HV=g+H. The differential ideal has translation parameter 000, regardless of this ggg. An embedded product GGG consists of a positive number sss of factors EiE_iEi​; each factor is a locally closed subset of PNi(K)\mathbb P^{N_i}(K)PNi​(K), with Ni∈NN_i\in\mathbb NNi​∈N, carrying an abelian additive group structure. Its addition and negation are required to have local projective polynomial representations: at every source point and for each target block, some open neighborhood in the source projective Zariski topology and some tuple of homogeneous polynomials of a common block multidegree represent that block of the map at every source point in the neighborhood, and the evaluated tuple is nonzero there. The points of GGG are the Cartesian product of the factor carriers, and R=K[Xij:1≤i≤s, 0≤j≤Ni]R=K[X_{ij}:1\leq i\leq s,\ 0\leq j\leq N_i]R=K[Xij​:1≤i≤s, 0≤j≤Ni​] is its coordinate polynomial ring. In each projective block a nonzero representative is chosen; P(x)P(x)P(x) denotes evaluation at these chosen representatives. A polynomial is multihomogeneous of degree DDD when every monomial in its support has total exponent DiD_iDi​ in block iii; the zero polynomial has every such degree. The ambient Zariski topology is generated by the sets where a multihomogeneous polynomial is nonzero, and GGG has the induced topology. For any V⊆GV\subseteq GV⊆G, JV⊆RJ_V\subseteq RJV​⊆R is the ideal generated by all multihomogeneous polynomials vanishing at every point of VVV; write JGJ_GJG​ for the whole group and Z(P)={x∈G:P(x)=0}Z(P)=\{x\in G:P(x)=0\}Z(P)={x∈G:P(x)=0}. An algebraic subgroup means an additive subgroup closed in this topology; connectedness refers to this topology. Translation means g+V={g+v:v∈V}g+V=\{g+v:v\in V\}g+V={g+v:v∈V}. The data AAA consist of a natural number d>0d>0d>0, a real radius ρ>0\rho>0ρ>0, the open ball B={z∈Kd:∥z∥<ρ}B=\{z\in K^d:\|z\|<\rho\}B={z∈Kd:∥z∥<ρ} with its asserted openness and membership 0∈B0\in B0∈B, and a map ϕ:B→G\phi:B\to Gϕ:B→G such that ϕ(0)=0\phi(0)=0ϕ(0)=0 and ϕ(x+y)=ϕ(x)+ϕ(y)\phi(x+y)=\phi(x)+\phi(y)ϕ(x+y)=ϕ(x)+ϕ(y) whenever x,y,x+y∈Bx,y,x+y\in Bx,y,x+y∈B. No injectivity is required. There are coordinate lifts Lg(z)ijL_g(z)_{ij}Lg​(z)ij​, defined for every g∈Gg\in Gg∈G and z∈Kdz\in K^dz∈Kd, each analytic at 000; for g=0g=0g=0 each coordinate admits a formal multilinear power series on the entire radius-ρ\rhoρ ball and each block of L0(z)L_0(z)L0​(z) is nonzero and represents ϕ(z)\phi(z)ϕ(z) for every z∈Bz\in Bz∈B. For every ggg, on some neighborhood of 000 contained in BBB, every block of Lg(z)L_g(z)Lg​(z) is nonzero and represents g+ϕ(z)g+\phi(z)g+ϕ(z). The set A∗⊆GA_*\subseteq GA∗​⊆G is the additive subgroup generated by ϕ(B)\phi(B)ϕ(B), with no topological closure operation. Put FP,g(z)=P(Lg(z))F_{P,g}(z)=P(L_g(z))FP,g​(z)=P(Lg​(z)) and KA(V)=⋂P∈JVker⁡(DFP,0(0))⊆KdK_A(V)=\bigcap_{P\in J_V}\ker(D F_{P,0}(0))\subseteq K^dKA​(V)=⋂P∈JV​​ker(DFP,0​(0))⊆Kd. The natural number aA(V)a_A(V)aA​(V) is d−dim⁡KKA(V)d-\dim_K K_A(V)d−dimK​KA​(V), using natural-number subtraction, and dim⁡A\dim AdimA is aA({0})a_A(\{0\})aA​({0}). The order oA(P,g)o_A(P,g)oA​(P,g) is the least k∈Nk\in\mathbb Nk∈N for which the kkk-fold Fréchet derivative of FP,gF_{P,g}FP,g​ at 000 is nonzero, or ∞\infty∞ if all these derivatives vanish; the derivative of order zero is the value at 000. Derivatives use the total Fréchet derivative, which is zero where differentiability fails. All order comparisons take place in N∪{∞}\mathbb N\cup\{\infty\}N∪{∞}. For a chart b=(bi)b=(b_i)b=(bi​), 0≤bi≤Ni0\leq b_i\leq N_i0≤bi​≤Ni​, let Ub={x∈G:xi,bi≠0 for every i}U_b=\{x\in G:x_{i,b_i}\ne0\text{ for every }i\}Ub​={x∈G:xi,bi​​=0 for every i}, where xijx_{ij}xij​ are chosen projective representatives, and let Qb(x)=Q((xij/xi,bi)ij)Q_b(x)=Q((x_{ij}/x_{i,b_i})_{ij})Qb​(x)=Q((xij​/xi,bi​​)ij​). The differential ideal DAT(I)\mathcal D_A^T(I)DAT​(I) used here has translation parameter zero. Its generating local sections are obtained from every multihomogeneous P∈IP\in IP∈I, every chart bbb, every 0≤k≤T0\leq k\leq T0≤k≤T, and every ordered list of kkk coordinate directions in KdK^dKd: the section has domain UbU_bUb​ and value at xxx equal to the kkk-fold Fréchet derivative at z=0z=0z=0 of P((Lx(z)ij/Lx(z)i,bi)ij)P((L_x(z)_{ij}/L_x(z)_{i,b_i})_{ij})P((Lx​(z)ij​/Lx​(z)i,bi​​)ij​), applied to those standard coordinate vectors. Repetitions of directions are allowed and k=0k=0k=0 means the function value, with no factorial factor. To form DAT(I)\mathcal D_A^T(I)DAT​(I), take every multihomogeneous QQQ with this property at every x∈Gx\in Gx∈G: there are a chart b′b'b′ and a Zariski open neighborhood UUU of xxx contained in Ub′U_{b'}Ub′​ such that Qb′Q_{b'}Qb′​ on UUU is a finite sum ∑νrνfν\sum_\nu r_\nu f_\nu∑ν​rν​fν​ of the foregoing local sections, each defined on all of UUU, with each coefficient rνr_\nurν​ the ratio of two homogeneous polynomials of the same block multidegree and its denominator nonzero everywhere on UUU. Then take the polynomial ideal spanned by all these QQQ. The finite sum may be empty. All rational functions and normalized pullbacks are defined globally using field division, including value zero for a quotient with denominator zero, but the local membership representations explicitly exclude such denominators on their neighborhoods. The component condition uses all minimal primes meeting actual group points, with no independent relevance or projective-open test. Primes not meeting GGG impose no component or length requirement, and the quantifiers over eligible primes are vacuous if there are none. The natural parameter T=0T=0T=0 is allowed, in which case only order-zero sections occur and the asserted lower bound is 111; the lower bound is also 111 whenever aA(H)=0a_A(H)=0aA​(H)=0. The parameter dimension is positive, but the defined analytic dimension and codimension may be zero. No nonzero, properness, or bounded-generator-degree hypothesis is imposed on III.
