Worst-case risk is subadditive

Proved
CoherentRisk.worstCase_subadditive

probability

Merging two positions never requires more capital under the worst-case measure than holding them separately: the worst outcome of a sum is at least the sum of the worst outcomes. This is the axiom Value-at-Risk fails, stated here for the measure that satisfies it.

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.
