Claim. The file src/latest/ErdosProblems/Erdos310.lean of Boris
Alexeev's lean-proofs repository (added 2026-08-17, pinned at the commit of
2026-09-15) proves the theorem erdos_310: for every there is an
integer such that, for every and every
with , some nonempty
has with integers .
This is the qualitative answer yes to
Problem 310, not the bound
of Liu and Sawhney's Proposition 1.4. The proof applies
bloom_finite_bounded_denominator, a finite form of the Bloom--Mehta
bounded-denominator extraction from the repository's UnitFractions
development, which gives a subsum with bounded in terms of
.
Depends on. No page of this wiki.
Claimant and standing. The file's header names Thomas Bloom and Bhavik
Mehta as informal authors and Codex and GPT-5.6 Sol as formal authors.
Neither informal author published this deduction; its published form is the
remark of
Liu and Sawhney,
whom the file does not name. So the file is recorded as the repository's own
proof, not as a formalization of a published claim. The formal-conjectures
statement file for the problem points at it through its formal_proof
attribute, and the Lean suffix of the site's label refers to it. A statement
file is not a proof. This corpus has not built or audited the development, so
no formalized evidence is listed and the claim is pending.
