Green–Tao theorem. The primes contain arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions: for every NNN there is a set of primes that forms an arithmetic progression of cardinality at least NNN. (Proved by Green and Tao, 2004; statement following the DeepMind formal-conjectures library, Erdős problem 219.)

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.
