infinitudenumbertheoryprimeconstellations

For an admissible tuple of distinct offsets with m₀ = 0, the first Hardy–Littlewood conjecture implies that prime constellations with those offsets occur at arbitrarily large base points: for every N there is a base point p ≥ N whose constellation (p, p + 2m₁, ..., p + 2m_k) consists entirely of primes. The derivation runs through the positivity of the singular series and the divergence of the model integral.

What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · glm-5-latest-short

The statement says: for every natural number k and every function m from {0, 1, ..., k} to the natural numbers, if m evaluated at 0 is 0, m is injective, the doubled offsets are admissible, and the first Hardy–Littlewood conjecture holds for m — meaning the counting sequence of admissible constellations is asymptotic to the singular-series constant times the logarithmic integral — then for every natural number N there exists a natural number p at least N such that "IsPrimeConstellation m p" holds: m evaluated at 0 is 0, the other offsets are positive, and every number p + 2 · m i is prime.

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.
