Formal Mathematics on Display: A Wiki for Flyspeck
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Agora system is a prototype “Wiki for Formal Mathematics”, with an aim to support developing and documenting large formalizations of mathematics in a proof assistant. The functions implemented in Agora include in-browser editing, strong AI/ATP proof advice, verification, and HTML rendering. The HTML rendering contains hyperlinks and provides on-demand explanation of the proof state for each proof step. In the present paper we show the prototype Flyspeck Wiki as an instance of Agora for HOL Light formalizations. The wiki can be used for formalizations of mathematics and for writing informal wiki pages about mathematics. Such informal pages may contain islands of formal text, which is used here for providing an initial cross-linking between Hales’s informal Flyspeck book, and the formal Flyspeck development. The Agora platform intends to address distributed wiki-style collaboration on large formalization projects, in particular both the aspect of immediate editing, verification and rendering of formal code, and the aspect of gradual and mutual refactoring and correspondence of the initial informal text and its formalization. Here, we highlight these features within the Flyspeck Wiki.

Semantic wikis have been successfully applied to many problems in knowledge management and collaborative authoring. They are particularly appropriate for scientific and mathematical collaboration. In previous work we described the an ontology for mathematical knowledge based on the semantic markup language OMDoc and a semantic wiki using both. We are now evaluating these technologies in concret...

متن کاملIntroduction to the Flyspeck Project
This article gives an introduction to a long-term project called Flyspeck, whose purpose is to give a formal verification of the Kepler Conjecture. The Kepler Conjecture asserts that the density of a packing of equal radius balls in three dimensions cannot exceed π/ √ 18. The original proof of the Kepler Conjecture, from 1998, relies extensively on computer calculations. Because the proof relie...
متن کاملMetadata for a wiki of formalized mathematics
In recent years wikis for formal mathematics have appeared. Formal mathematics presents a number of challenges for the wiki perspective. To enhance the quality of the data in these wikis from the perspective of information architecture, we propose some extensions of existing formal mathematics wikis to more properly handle metadata.
متن کاملFormal Verification of Nonlinear Inequalities with Taylor Interval Approximations
We present a formal tool for verification of multivariate nonlinear inequalities. Our verification method is based on interval arithmetic with Taylor approximations. Our tool is implemented in the HOL Light proof assistant and it is capable to verify multivariate nonlinear polynomial and non-polynomial inequalities on rectangular domains. One of the main features of our work is an efficient imp...
