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

A displayed nontrivial factorization refutes primality.

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.

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.

01Fix variables and assumptionsL1–7

Work with arbitrary variables or the premises of the current implication.

02Separate the logical casesL8–8

Follow the explicit conjunction, disjunction, witness, or contradiction step recorded below.

  1. L8
    cases hprime
03Use earlier factsL9–10

Instantiate or apply named facts and discharge the corresponding proof obligations.

  1. L9
    specialize hprime_right a
  2. L10
    specialize hprime_right b
04Establish hunitL11–13

Establish this local claim before using it. It is not an additional assumption. The following proof commands apply hprime right.

  1. L11
    have hunit : a = 1 \/ b = 1
  2. L12
    apply hprime_right
  3. L13
    exact hfactor
05Separate the logical casesL14–14

Follow the explicit conjunction, disjunction, witness, or contradiction step recorded below.

  1. L14
    cases hunit
06Use earlier factsL15–18

Instantiate or apply named facts and discharge the corresponding proof obligations.

  1. L15
    apply ha
  2. L16
    exact hunit_left
  3. L17
    apply hb
