Topic: Formalising Hochster's Theorem
Fangming Li (John) (Feb 17 2026 at 17:59):
Hello everyone! I have successfully formalised Hochster's Theorem: every spectral topological space is homeomorphic to the prime spectrum of a commutative ring. Here is the link to my repository: https://github.com/FMLJohn/Hochster.
The theorem has been stated as the following, which can be found in Hochster/Section7.lean:
theorem exists_nonempty_homeomorph (X : Type u) [TopologicalSpace X] [SpectralSpace X] :
∃ R : Type u, ∃ _ : CommRing R, Nonempty (X ≃ₜ PrimeSpectrum R) := ...

Congratulations! You might be the first human I've met who has read the proof :-)
