feat : add complete formal solution for IMO 2025 P6

[lean-tom]

Summary

I have successfully formalized the complete solution for IMO 2025 Problem 6 . To my knowledge, this is the first complete formalization of this problem in Lean 4 without any sorry.

The proof consists of approximately 4,700 lines and is fully compatible with Lean v4.28.0-rc1 and the latest Mathlib.

Methodology

The solution utilizes a multi-disciplinary approach to handle the complexity of the grid configuration:

1. Lower Bound (Necessity - Topological Combinatorics)

We establish the lower bound $n + 2\sqrt{n} - 3$ by applying the Erdős–Szekeres Theorem to the coordinates of the uncovered (black) squares.

• Set-Theoretic Topological Partitioning: Instead of using step functions or explicit analytic boundary lines, the regions are defined through unions and intersections of discrete set intervals. This avoids the complexity of manual max/min casework at the boundaries where LIS and LDS relations shift.
• Topological Pivot in the Disjoint Case: In cases where the LIS and LDS do not intersect, a "topological pivot" is defined as a specific region of white squares. This allows us to identify the pivot's properties without needing to compute an explicit analytic intersection point.
• Precise Counting Strategy: To achieve the exact count of $k^2+2k−3$ tiles, we developed a counting method based on the base black squares rather than the white squares themselves.
  Boundary Filtering: We handled the grid boundary conditions by filtering the set of black squares (using $0<x<k^2−1$, $0<y<k^2−1$). This allowed us to systematically remove the 4 "out-of-bounds" labels that would otherwise extend beyond the grid, ensuring the formal count matches the required upper bound without grueling manual casework on the edges.
• Erdős–Szekeres Theorem: Applied to the coordinates to extract the Longest Increasing Subsequence (LIS) and Longest Decreasing Subsequence (LDS). The theorem guarantees that the product of their lengths is at least $n$, establishing the fundamental bound.-

2. Upper Bound (Sufficiency - Elementary Number Theory)

For $n=k^2$ (specifically $n=2025$), we provide an explicit construction:

• Index-Based Fiber Construction: To ensure disjointness, we define two integer forms for each point $p = (x, y)$:

  • $val_s(p) = x + ky + k + 1$
  • $val_t(p) = kx - y + k^2 + k$

• Fiber Mapping: We consider the fibers of the mapping $p \mapsto (s, t)$, where:

  • $s = \lfloor val_s(p) / (k^2 + 1) \rfloor$
  • $t = \lfloor val_t(p) / (k^2 + 1) \rfloor$
    This integer division (Gaussian bracket) naturally partitions the grid into disjoint regions.

• Lattice-Point Black Squares: The uncovered (black) squares are precisely the "lattice points" where both forms are divisible by $k^2 + 1$:

  all_black = { $p$ | $val_s(p) \equiv 0 \pmod {k^2 + 1}$ and $val_t(p) \equiv 0 \pmod {k^2 + 1}$ }

  The Matilda tiles are then defined by removing the black squares from these fibers:
  M_(s, t) = { $p$ | $s = \lfloor val_s(p) / (k^2 + 1) \rfloor$ and $t = \lfloor val_t(p) / (k^2 + 1) \rfloor$ } \ all_black }

• Disjointness and Geometry:

  • By Construction: Since the fibers partition the grid, the tiles are guaranteed to be disjoint.
  • Geometric Proof: Using elementary number theory, we formally prove that each such tile corresponds to a $k \times k$ square (clipped at the grid boundaries) that sits to the immediate right of a black square.
  • Verification: We formally verify that this results in exactly $k^2 + 2k - 3$ tiles, covering all white squares.

Status: Verified

• Local Build: lake build completed successfully (1994 jobs) with no errors.
• Goals Accomplished: The final theorem is fully proven with no remaining goals.
• Environment: Updated all deprecated terms (e.g., List.Sorted → List.Pairwise, IsRefl → Std.Refl) to match the latest Mathlib standards.

Future Work

• Refactoring: I plan to "golf" the code myself to improve readability and reduce the line count.
• Lean Blueprint: I intend to create a Lean Blueprint in the near future to visualize the topological dependency graph of the proof.

I have cleaned up all draft files and organized the final code in Compfiles/Imo2025P6.lean. I believe this is ready to be merged.

Acknowledgments & Attribution

• Division of Labor:

• Human (lean-tom): Acted as the architectural lead. Conceived the core mathematical strategies and rigorously decomposed the entire proof into a granular series of lemmas to ensure a verifiable path toward the final theorem. This includes:

  • The set-theoretic topological approach to region partitioning.
  • The fiber-based construction and the linear congruence system.
  • The boundary-filtering logic for precise counting.

• AI Assistant (Gemini 3 Pro): Provided extensive support for implementing the human-designed lemmas in Lean 4, handling syntax verification and the iterative refinement of internal proof steps within each lemma.

• Nature of Collaboration:
  The final 4,700-line proof emerged from a symbiotic human-AI dialogue. The global architecture and rigorous decomposition of lemmas were human-led and cross-checked by Gemini 3 Pro for structural consistency. The AI was instrumental in validating the overall configuration, refining local logic, and proposing tactical bridges, ensuring the integrity and coherence of this large-scale formalization.

• Verification Note:
  This work was completed through a high-intensity, iterative conversational process. It is a product of human-directed formalization and pre-dates or was developed independently of the fully autonomous "Deep Think" reasoning models announced on Feb 13, 2026. Every strategic leap, from the topological pivoting to the boundary filtering, was a human-led decision, ensuring that the resulting proof is a result of genuine mathematical understanding rather than a black-box generation.
