Mathematicians crowdsourcing a Lean formalization of the Hodge conjecture, a missing Millennium Problem
AlexKontorovich · x · 2026-09-09
Algebraic geometers Paul Lezeau, Jack McCarthy, and Yaël Dillies are collaboratively formalizing a statement of the Hodge Conjecture.
- The Hodge Conjecture is one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems and was missing from the formal-conjecture repository
- The team is publicly recruiting algebraic geometers interested in helping with the formalization effort
- Such formalization work underpins machine-verifiable proofs and AI-driven theorem proving
