Let aaa be a univariate coefficient polynomial in MvPolynomial (Fin 1) R\mathrm{MvPolynomial}\,(\mathrm{Fin}\,1)\,\mathbb{R}MvPolynomial(Fin1)R and ppp a plane point (Point2\mathrm{Point2}Point2). Then membership p∈CoeffLineZeroSet ap \in \mathrm{CoeffLineZeroSet}\,ap∈CoeffLineZeroSeta holds exactly when aaa vanishes at the coefficient coordinate p 1p\,1p1,

eval (_↦p 1) a=0,\mathrm{eval}\,(\_ \mapsto p\,1)\,a = 0,eval(_↦p1)a=0,

and the two conditions coincide by definitional unfolding (Iff.rfl).

In geometric terms, CoeffLineZeroSet a\mathrm{CoeffLineZeroSet}\,aCoeffLineZeroSeta is the set of points whose coefficient coordinate p 1p\,1p1 is a real root of aaa, that is, a union of lines of constant coefficient coordinate, one for each real root. This simp lemma is used to unfold line--curve intersections into root conditions on fibers.

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.
