For every block index bbb with

50901000≤b<50950500,50901000\le b<50950500,50901000≤b<50950500,

every even integer nnn with max⁡(4,106b)≤n≤min⁡(4⋅1014,106(b+1)−1)\max(4,10^6 b)\le n\le\min(4\cdot10^{14},10^6(b+1)-1)max(4,106b)≤n≤min(4⋅1014,106(b+1)−1) can be written as n=p+qn=p+qn=p+q with ppp a prime, 2≤p≤55692\le p\le 55692≤p≤5569, and qqq a survivor of the sieve by the primes up to 2⋅1072\cdot10^72⋅107 on [106b−5569, min⁡(4⋅1014,106(b+1)−1)][10^6 b-5569,\ \min(4\cdot10^{14},10^6(b+1)-1)][106b−5569, min(4⋅1014,106(b+1)−1)] (GoldbachSieve.survivors).

Role: group 191919 of 202020 of Richstein2001.segmented_sieve_block_witnesses_chunk_1_range_1_part_1_upper (blocks 500100005001000050010000 to 509999995099999950999999); the groups tile that range end to end. Each group has width 495004950049500 in the block index bbb.

Formalization Note The conclusion matches the parent Richstein2001.segmented_sieve_block_witnesses_chunk_1_range_1_part_1_upper exactly; only the range of bbb is restricted. This mirrors the already-proved decomposition of the sibling ..._part_1_lower into twenty groups.

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.
