Vaughan truncations and weighted arithmetic sums

Definition
AnalyticNT_Vaughan

by Patrick · Sep 7, 2026 · Mathlib 0df444a (Lean v4.33.1)

exponential-sumsnumber-theory

The four pieces of Vaughan’s identity, complementary Möbius and von Mangoldt truncations, additive characters, and finite weighted sums. The identity and any numerical bounds are separate theorems.

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.
