Free group factors: supporting development, part 26

Definition
FreeGroupFactorProof26

by wurtle · Nov 4, 2026 · Mathlib 0df444a (Lean v4.33.1)

free-group-factorsoai-math

Part 26 of the supporting Lean development for the isomorphism of all interpolated free group factors. It continues the chain of earlier parts and contains proved upstream lemmas on the polynomial flow and on corners of the stabilization, with the declarations they rest on, in source order. No result is assumed.

Formalization Note Eight of these lemmas were first published as child theorems, but the platform's target-type check rejected their universe-polymorphic solutions even though the solution type and the published statement have the same elaborated term locally. They are therefore proved here, so that the parent theorems can use them. The code is OpenAI's, carved from lean/OAI/Analysis/FreeGroupFactor and lean/OAI/Analysis/InterpolatedFactors in openai/math at adc7f12 and ported to Lean 4.33.1 and Mathlib 0df444a.

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.
