prime_field_polynomial_power_index_bound

A coefficient indexed by its power is genuinely inside the highest-degree-first prefix.

Alpha v34 checked-use · first admitted v33 · independently kernel and Lean verified; not Stable

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

Coefficients are highest-degree-first. The divisor has a nonzero decoded head; primality supplies its actual inverse. Empty quotients and remainders are included. Functionality compares the constructed execution lengths and decoded coefficients, never arbitrary beta codes. Formal polynomial equivalence compares every coefficient, not evaluations on a finite field. The formal identity and remainder-degree bound are proved separately, not assumed by the execution graph. Arbitrary quotient/remainder-pair uniqueness from a formal identity, multiplication associativity, gcd/Bezout, irreducible-polynomial existence, and the full G091 prime-power-field goal remain open. The seven displayed new names are conservative first-order notation, not new kernel primitives.

Complete tactic proof in conservative notation

All 8 original proof lines are preserved. Only local proposition formulas are abbreviated; every abbreviation has an exact binder-safe expansion check. The linked exact edition contains the unchanged replay script.

This is a reading aid, not a new proof or a proof-tree certificate. Checkpoint groups are consecutive commands, not inferred branch boundaries. Every step links to the preserved script.

Definition notation is shown below. Open the paired exact edition for the original native formulas. Source pairing is not a new equivalence certificate.
