fermat_four_product_nonzero

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

The product of two nonzero naturals is nonzero, by the checked zero-product disjunction.

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.

Statement with defined notation

forall a b. ~(a = 0) -> ~(b = 0) -> ~(a * b = 0)

Every purple notation token opens its conservative definition. This reading surface never changes the unchanged intuitionistic kernel or confers checked-use authority.

Definition-aware tactic body

Only propositions whose conservative expansion has been checked for exact first-order equivalence are compacted. Every changed line retains its immutable exact replay command.

01Fix variables and assumptionsL1–5

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

02Establish hcasesL6–10

Establish this local claim before using it. It is not an additional assumption. The following proof commands apply mul eq zero.

  1. L6
    have hcases : a = 0 \/ b = 0
  2. L7
    specialize mul_eq_zero (a)
  3. L8
    specialize mul_eq_zero (b)
  4. L9
    apply mul_eq_zero
  5. L10
    exact hzero
03Separate the logical casesL11–11

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

  1. L11
    cases hcases
04Use earlier factsL12–15

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

  1. L12
    apply ha
  2. L13
    exact hcases_left
  3. L14
    apply hb
  4. L15
