The theorem is stated as admitted, not proved here. Sites are Fin 4, and a law is a real-valued mass function ν on the 24 permutations of the four sites. It states that there exist a real exponent p₀ with 4/3 < p₀ < 2 and a real ε > 0 such that the following holds for every law ν that is a probability law (all masses nonnegative and summing to 1), has total variation distance from the uniform law less than ε (total variation being half the sum over permutations π of |ν(π) − 1/24|), and has uniform marginals (for every pair of sites i and j, the total mass of permutations with π(i)=j equals 1/4). For every 4-by-4 array f of real numbers with all entries f(i,j) ≥ 0, the permanent expectation Σ_π ν(π) ∏_i f(i, π(i)) is at most the product over the four rows i of the normalized ℓ^{p₀} norm of row i, where the norm of a row g is ((Σ_j g(j)^{p₀})/4)^{1/p₀}, using the uniform counting normalization with division by 4.

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.
