The Hantzsche-Wendt class is realized. For every n of at least four strings there is a realization of the class G6 - the fundamental group of the Hantzsche-Wendt manifold - by a torsion-free subgroup of the crystallographic braid quotient whose holonomy group is the Klein four group. This is Theorem 3.9 of the paper.

What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · glm-5-latest-short

Restate: in a crystallographic braid world with at least four strings, there exist a total-space subgroup, a kernel subgroup, and a homomorphism realizing the Hantzsche-Wendt model group, with the total-space subgroup torsion-free and its image under the holonomy projection multiplicatively equivalent to the multiplicative twin of the group of two-bit tuples. Hypotheses: the world is given; the number of strings is at least four; no further hypotheses appear.

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.
