This definition bundle formalizes finite abstract simplicial complexes and their standard geometric realizations, the condition of being a simplicial 444-sphere, the disk/circle moment-angle subspace with its canonical basepoint, the based loop space, total integral singular homology, and injective additive embeddings. These are the transparent objects used in the arbitrary-torsion mission.

# Concrete objects for the moment-angle-manifold theorem

This file gives transparent definitions for every object occurring in the
headline existence theorem of Han--Li.  Mathlib's
`AbstractSimplicialComplex` records all nonempty faces and requires every
singleton to be a face.  The helper `IsFaceOrEmpty` restores the conventional
empty face when defining the moment-angle complex.

What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · gpt-5.6-sol

IsFaceOrEmpty. For any natural number mmm, any abstract simplicial complex LLL on the vertex type Fin⁡(m)\operatorname{Fin}(m)Fin(m), and any finite set σ\sigmaσ of those vertices, IsFaceOrEmpty L σ means exactly that either σ\sigmaσ is empty or σ\sigmaσ is a face recorded by LLL. No nonemptiness of σ\sigmaσ is otherwise required.

GeometricRealization. For any natural number mmm and abstract simplicial complex LLL on Fin⁡(m)\operatorname{Fin}(m)Fin(m), the geometric realization is the subtype of functions x:Fin⁡(m)→Rx:\operatorname{Fin}(m)\to\mathbb Rx:Fin(m)→R such that every xi≥0x_i\ge 0xi​≥0, the finite sum of all coordinates is 111, and the finite set of indices at which xi≠0x_i\ne0xi​=0 belongs to LLL. Thus the support is required to be an actual recorded face, not merely empty-or-a-face. When m=0m=0m=0, no such xxx exists because the empty sum is 000, not 111.

FourSphere. FourSphere is the metric sphere of radius 111 centered at the zero vector in the Euclidean space R5\mathbb R^5R5; its elements are exactly the vectors in that space whose distance from zero is 111.

IsSimplicialFourSphere. For any natural number mmm and abstract simplicial complex LLL on Fin⁡(m)\operatorname{Fin}(m)Fin(m), IsSimplicialFourSphere L means that there exists a homeomorphism between the above geometric-realization subtype and the unit sphere in R5\mathbb R^5R5. It does not separately assert a combinatorial dimension, purity, a manifold structure, or any particular triangulation property beyond the existence of that homeomorphism.

IsInMomentAngle. For any natural number mmm, abstract simplicial complex LLL on Fin⁡(m)\operatorname{Fin}(m)Fin(m), and function z:Fin⁡(m)→Cz:\operatorname{Fin}(m)\to\mathbb Cz:Fin(m)→C, IsInMomentAngle L z means that there exists a finite set σ\sigmaσ of vertices such that σ\sigmaσ is empty or is a face of LLL, and, for every vertex iii, one has ∣zi∣≤1|z_i|\le1∣zi​∣≤1 if i∈σi\in\sigmai∈σ and ∣zi∣=1|z_i|=1∣zi​∣=1 if i∉σi\notin\sigmai∈/σ. The witnessing face is not required to be unique; coordinates on its boundary may also have modulus 111. When m=0m=0m=0, the empty σ\sigmaσ witnesses the condition for the unique empty function, since the coordinate condition is vacuous.

Complex. For any natural number mmm and abstract simplicial complex LLL on Fin⁡(m)\operatorname{Fin}(m)Fin(m), Complex L is the subtype of functions z:Fin⁡(m)→Cz:\operatorname{Fin}(m)\to\mathbb Cz:Fin(m)→C satisfying the preceding existential face-and-modulus condition. This declaration itself asserts no manifold property.

basepoint. For every such LLL, basepoint L is the element of Complex L whose every coordinate is 111. Its membership is witnessed by the empty finite set: every coordinate is outside that set and has modulus 111. This also defines a point when m=0m=0m=0.

BasedLoopSpace. For every such LLL, BasedLoopSpace L is the type of parametrized continuous paths in Complex L whose initial and terminal points are both the all-ones basepoint. It is the path/loop space itself, not a set of homotopy classes.

IntegralHomology. For every natural degree qqq and topological type XXX, IntegralHomology q X is the underlying type of Mathlib’s degree-qqq singular-homology object of XXX with coefficients in the rank-one integer module Z\mathbb ZZ. Only nonnegative degrees are represented because qqq ranges over N\mathbb NN.

TotalIntegralHomology. For every topological type XXX, TotalIntegralHomology X is the direct sum, indexed by all q∈Nq\in\mathbb Nq∈N, of the preceding integral singular-homology groups. Its elements therefore have only finitely many nonzero degree components.

AdditivelyEmbeds. For types GGG and HHH equipped only with addition and zero, AdditivelyEmbeds G H means that there exists an injective map f:G→Hf:G\to Hf:G→H preserving addition and zero. It asserts neither surjectivity nor a splitting, and when HHH is graded it imposes no requirement that the image lie in or preserve any one degree.

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.
