Alpha v34 checked-use theorem · independently kernel and Lean verified; not Stable

A factorization of a transports its square without expanding either factor.

Current library: Alpha v34, 4,223 checked-use theorems; Stable remains 432. Historical first admissions, original proof editions, and non-admitted aliases are preserved. Exact original first-admission records.

Structural proof guide

A factorization of a transports its square without expanding either factor.

Direct prerequisites: mul_assoc. The authored body proceeds by equality transport (1).

Direct dependents

Formal native tactic body

Dependencies are hypotheses of the historical Alpha-v12 body receipt. The complete historical Alpha-v18 proof bundle independently checks every dependency; current Alpha v25 preserves that checked theorem use without changing Stable membership.
