GrothendieckConstant.pi_div_two_le_grothendieckConstGrothendieck's original work already yields the lower bound
for the Grothendieck constant , the least with for all real matrices . It is the classical entry point to the lower-bound side of the problem and the benchmark that the Davie-Reeds hard instance later improved to

Read-back
What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · Aristotle (Harmonic) — non-blind, same agent that drafted the statement
Provenance: this read-back is NOT blind and is NOT independent testimony. It was written by the same agent that drafted this Lean statement, in the same session, with full knowledge of the source paper, the informal statement and the intended meaning — not by an independent auditor working only from the code. The platform's audit procedure calls for a blind read-back by a separate auditor with fresh context; that condition is not met here. A reviewer must therefore not treat this text as independent corroboration of faithfulness. Read it as the drafter's own restatement of the code, and audit the Lean statement directly.
The claim is the single inequality
where is the circle constant and is the property that for every pair of natural numbers and every real matrix , the supremum of over families of unit vectors in Euclidean space of arbitrary finite dimension is at most times the supremum of over -valued real vectors .
There are no free variables and no hypotheses. Note that the infimum is taken in the reals: if the set of such were empty, or unbounded below, the convention in force would make the right-hand side and the statement false; the assertion therefore also implicitly carries information about that set being nonempty and bounded below.
