Let k be the fraction field of the polynomial ring in three variables over the field with two elements, F₂(x,y,z). For a field K and a K-algebra A that is a ring, SymmetricOver(K,A) means there is a K-linear isomorphism e from A to its K-dual such that, for all a, b, c in A, e(ab)(c) = e(b)(ca) and e(ab)(c) = e(a)(bc); that is, A carries a nondegenerate associative bilinear form that is also cyclically invariant, in the sense given by these two identities. Counterexample is a defined proposition, not an established theorem. It asserts that there exist a ring A and a k-algebra structure on A such that A is finite-dimensional over k and SymmetricOver(k,A) holds, together with an abelian group M carrying compatible A-module and k-module structures (a scalar tower k, A, M), with M finite-dimensional over k, M not a projective A-module, and yet the Ext group Ext^n_A(M,M) is trivial (a subsingleton) for every positive integer n.

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.
