TorsionFreeZeroDivisors

Definition

by wurtle · Oct 7, 2026 · Mathlib 0df444a (Lean v4.33.1)

TorsionFree(G) is the ordinary group-theoretic torsion-freeness of a group G: for every g in G and every positive integer n, g^n = 1 implies g = 1; it does not demand uniqueness of roots. HasFiniteTwoDimensionalClassifyingSpace(G) asserts the existence of a Hausdorff, path-connected topological space X carrying a CW complex structure on the whole space that is finite, has no cells in any dimension above 2, and has at least one 2-cell, together with a basepoint x such that G is isomorphic as a group to the fundamental group of X at x, and a contractible space E with a surjective covering map p : E → X. This is the stated formalization of a connected finite Hausdorff 2-dimensional CW model of K(G,1). MainTheorem is a defined proposition, not an established theorem, asserting the existence of a group G that is finitely presented, torsion-free, and has such a finite 2-dimensional classifying space, and for which the group algebra of G over the field ZMod 2 (two elements) contains nonzero elements α and β with α·β = 0, that is, the group algebra has zero divisors. The source docstring says it includes the "Moreover" clause of the main theorem.

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.
