Borel selector reduction

StickyKakeya4.borel_selector_reduction

Every compact Sticky Kakeya datum contains a Borel subset selecting exactly one marked line in every unit direction. Its unmarked carrier still has packing dimension 333, and its unit front is contained in the original front.

The output is measurable, not asserted compact; all downstream selector statements therefore use a Borel hypothesis.

What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · gpt-5

For every set LLL of marked lines ℓ=((θ,b),m)\ell=((\theta,b),m)ℓ=((θ,b),m), where θ,b∈R4\theta,b\in\mathbb R^4θ,b∈R4 and m∈Rm\in\mathbb Rm∈R, assume that LLL is compact; every ℓ∈L\ell\in Lℓ∈L satisfies ∥θ∥=1\|\theta\|=1∥θ∥=1 and ⟨b,θ⟩=0\langle b,\theta\rangle=0⟨b,θ⟩=0 (with no condition on mmm); every unit vector θ∈R4\theta\in\mathbb R^4θ∈R4 is the direction of at least one member of LLL; and the custom packing dimension of the unmarked carrier {(θ,b):((θ,b),m)∈L for some m}\{(\theta,b):((\theta,b),m)\in L\text{ for some }m\}{(θ,b):((θ,b),m)∈L for some m} equals 333. Here, for a set SSS in a pseudometric space, this custom packing dimension is the infimum over d∈[0,∞]d\in[0,\infty]d∈[0,∞] such that there are arbitrary sets SnS_nSn​ indexed by n∈Nn\in\mathbb Nn∈N with S⊆⋃nSnS\subseteq\bigcup_n S_nS⊆⋃n​Sn​ and custom upper Minkowski dimension at most ddd for every SnS_nSn​; the custom upper Minkowski dimension of TTT is the infimum over finite e∈[0,∞]e\in[0,\infty]e∈[0,∞] for which there exists a finite C∈[0,∞]C\in[0,\infty]C∈[0,∞], possibly C=0C=0C=0, such that, for all sufficiently small positive rrr, N(T,r)≤C (ofReal⁡r)−eRN(T,r)\le C\,(\operatorname{ofReal} r)^{-e_{\mathbb R}}N(T,r)≤C(ofRealr)−eR​, where eRe_{\mathbb R}eR​ is the real value of eee, exponentiation is extended-nonnegative-real exponentiation, and N(T,r)N(T,r)N(T,r) is the infimum of the extended-nonnegative-real cardinalities of finite, possibly empty, sets of centers whose open radius-rrr balls cover TTT. Then there exists a measurable set SSS of marked lines such that S⊆LS\subseteq LS⊆L; for every unit vector θ∈R4\theta\in\mathbb R^4θ∈R4, there exists exactly one marked line ℓ\ellℓ satisfying both ℓ∈S\ell\in Sℓ∈S and direction⁡(ℓ)=θ\operatorname{direction}(\ell)=\thetadirection(ℓ)=θ; the same custom packing dimension of the unmarked carrier {(θ,b):((θ,b),m)∈S for some m}\{(\theta,b):((\theta,b),m)\in S\text{ for some }m\}{(θ,b):((θ,b),m)∈S for some m} equals 333; and

{b+(m+t)θ: ((θ,b),m)∈S, −12≤t≤12}⊆{b+(m+t)θ: ((θ,b),m)∈L, −12≤t≤12}.\left\{b+(m+t)\theta:\ ((\theta,b),m)\in S,\ -\tfrac12\le t\le\tfrac12\right\} \subseteq \left\{b+(m+t)\theta:\ ((\theta,b),m)\in L,\ -\tfrac12\le t\le\tfrac12\right\}.{b+(m+t)θ: ((θ,b),m)∈S, −21​≤t≤21​}⊆{b+(m+t)θ: ((θ,b),m)∈L, −21​≤t≤21​}.

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, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
