Congruent number problem: n is congruent iff the elliptic curve y² = x³ - n²x has a rational point of infinite order. Tunnell (1983) gave a criterion under BSD. Whether every squarefree n ≡ 5,6,7 (mod 8) is congruent remains open.

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.
