⚠️ Retired — incorrect formalization

The Lean statement below does not express the result tate_conjecture_abelian_varieties is named for, so its Proved status carries no information about it. Do not import it or use it as a dependency.

Tate conjecture: For abelian varieties over a number field K, the natural map from morphisms A→B tensored with ℤₗ to Galois-equivariant maps on Tate modules is an isomorphism. Proved by Faltings (1983) as part of his proof of the Mordell conjecture. This is a theorem, included for completeness.

Why this node was retired

The posted statement is

import Mathlib

theorem tate_conjecture_abelian_varieties (K : Type*) [Field K] [NumberField K]
    (n : ℕ) (hn : 1 ≤ n)
    (A B : Type*) [CommRing A] [CommRing B] [Algebra K A] [Algebra K B] :
    ∃ (rank : ℕ),
      rank = n ∧
      ∀ (HomZ : A →+* B), HomZ.comp (algebraMap K A) = algebraMap K B →
        True := by
  sorry

The goal is ∃ (rank : ℕ), rank = n ∧ ∀ HomZ, … → True. The second conjunct is an implication ending in True, so rank = n alone witnesses the goal. A and B are arbitrary commutative K-algebras rather than abelian varieties, and no Tate module or Galois action occurs.

What a faithful statement would require

Abelian varieties over a number field, their ℓ-adic Tate modules with the Galois action, and the assertion that the cycle class map to Galois-invariant classes is surjective are all required.

No corrected replacement node exists yet.

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.
