There are no parameters or hypotheses: this is a closed existence assertion over the standard complex and real numbers. It asserts that there exists a function B:{0,…,6}→C6×6B:\{0,\ldots,6\}\to\mathbb C^{6\times6}B:{0,…,6}→C6×6, giving seven matrices B0,…,B6B_0,\ldots,B_6B0​,…,B6​, such that, for every r∈{0,…,6}r\in\{0,\ldots,6\}r∈{0,…,6}, Br†Br=I6B_r^\dagger B_r=I_6Br†​Br​=I6​, where Br†B_r^\daggerBr†​ is the conjugate transpose. Entrywise, for every i,j∈{0,…,5}i,j\in\{0,\ldots,5\}i,j∈{0,…,5}, this means ∑k=05(Br)ki‾(Br)kj=δij\sum_{k=0}^{5}\overline{(B_r)_{ki}}(B_r)_{kj}=\delta_{ij}∑k=05​(Br​)ki​​(Br​)kj​=δij​, with δij=1\delta_{ij}=1δij​=1 when i=ji=ji=j and 000 otherwise; thus the six columns have exactly the identity matrix as their Gram matrix. In addition, for every ordered pair r,s∈{0,…,6}r,s\in\{0,\ldots,6\}r,s∈{0,…,6} with r≠sr\ne sr=s, and for every i,j∈{0,…,5}i,j\in\{0,\ldots,5\}i,j∈{0,…,5}, it requires ∣∑k=05(Br)ki‾(Bs)kj∣2=16\left|\sum_{k=0}^{5}\overline{(B_r)_{ki}}(B_s)_{kj}\right|^2=\frac16​∑k=05​(Br​)ki​​(Bs​)kj​​2=61​, where ∣z∣2=(Re⁡z)2+(Im⁡z)2|z|^2=(\operatorname{Re}z)^2+(\operatorname{Im}z)^2∣z∣2=(Rez)2+(Imz)2; the equality is exact and includes both i=ji=ji=j and i≠ji\ne ji=j. The distinct-index condition makes this latter requirement vacuous when r=sr=sr=s, although the Gram-matrix condition still applies separately to every BrB_rBr​. The witness BBB is not asserted to be unique. Because the dimensions are fixed at six and seven, no zero-dimensional or empty-index case occurs, and the denominator is the nonzero real number 666. “Complete” contributes no additional maximality clause: beyond the existence of these seven indexed matrices with the stated properties, the declaration does not separately assert that no eighth such basis exists, classify all such collections, or identify collections up to permutation, phase, or another equivalence.

There are no parameters or hypotheses: this is a closed existence assertion over the standard complex and real numbers. It asserts that there exists a function B:{0,…,6}→C6×6B:\{0,\ldots,6\}\to\mathbb C^{6\times6}B:{0,…,6}→C6×6, giving seven matrices B0,…,B6B_0,\ldots,B_6B0​,…,B6​, such that, for every r∈{0,…,6}r\in\{0,\ldots,6\}r∈{0,…,6}, Br†Br=I6B_r^\dagger B_r=I_6Br†​Br​=I6​, where Br†B_r^\daggerBr†​ is the conjugate transpose. Entrywise, for every i,j∈{0,…,5}i,j\in\{0,\ldots,5\}i,j∈{0,…,5}, this means ∑k=05(Br)ki‾(Br)kj=δij\sum_{k=0}^{5}\overline{(B_r)_{ki}}(B_r)_{kj}=\delta_{ij}∑k=05​(Br​)ki​​(Br​)kj​=δij​, with δij=1\delta_{ij}=1δij​=1 when i=ji=ji=j and 000 otherwise; thus the six columns have exactly the identity matrix as their Gram matrix.

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.
