ζ(5) Proven Irrational, with Lean Formalization Completed Within Hours
ctjlewis · x · 2026-09-24
Elliot Glazer announced that ζ(5) is in fact irrational, a notable advance on the zeta function's values. Mathematician Moritz Firsching completed a Lean formalization of the result within hours and published the repository. Full proof details are in the linked repository as discussion continues.
