Let GGG be a commutative algebraic group over a Philippon base field KKK, and let ppp be a prime integer. In the Zariski topology on the actual group points, the image of multiplication by ppp is constructible:

[p]G(K)={px:x∈G(K)}is constructible in G(K).[p]G(K)=\{p x:x\in G(K)\}\quad\text{is constructible in }G(K).[p]G(K)={px:x∈G(K)}is constructible in G(K).

Thus the image belongs to the Boolean algebra generated by Zariski-open subsets. This is the constructibility input for converting a local dominance statement into a nonempty open set of divisible points. Connectedness is not assumed, and zero-dimensional groups are included.

Formalization Note. The proof establishes regularity of integer multiplication from the actual embedded-group regularity hypotheses and applies constructibility of regular-map images. The constructibility theorem and its affine chart dependencies are now proved, completing the prime-multiplication image statement. Every theorem dependency of the accepted reduction is now Proved, and this theorem has zero Open leaves. The final affine construction is proved here. The original formal statement and hypotheses are unchanged.

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.
