The twin-prime configuration is admissible

admissibilitynumbertheorytwinprimes

The twin-prime offsets (0, 1) — giving the constellation (p, p + 2) — are admissible: the doubled offsets (0, 2) occupy at most two residue classes modulo any prime, so they never cover all classes. This is the concrete admissibility check that lets the first Hardy–Littlewood conjecture specialize to twin primes.

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

The statement says: for the tuple assigning offset 0 to index 0 and offset 1 to index 1 — a function from the two-element set {0, 1} to the natural numbers — the proposition "IsAdmissibleTuple" holds: for every prime q, the map sending i to the residue of 2 · m i modulo q is not surjective onto the residue classes modulo q.

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.
