By lack of proof witness I feel I'm the only one tinkering with lean here at ICMC, so if you are around and we don't know each other let's have a coffee and say hi!

@Daniel Smania is also tinkering with lean and is more or less in the region (I’m not sure of the precise arrangement of ICMC, USP and Uni Campinas).

Lua Viana Reis (Jul 20 2025 at 13:09):

oh hi @Daniel Smania. I plan to watch your course next semester, so we may have a lot of hi s

Hi @Lua Viana Reis @Oliver Butterley Yep, I'm working on some Lean4 code related to my research on Besov spaces, Haar wavelets, and transfer operators. I find it interesting because the ideas are somewhat elementary, which I believe makes them more amenable to formalization in Lean4. Still, it’s been quite challenging. So far, what I’ve managed to formalize (and uploaded to GitHub) is a very basic result about laminar families—a concept from combinatorics that I need in order to define Haar wavelets on measure spaces.

That's a beautiful explanation!!!! But am I correct in things that Unicamp lies geographically between Sao Carlos and Sao Paulo?

Hi all! I'm not in São Carlos, but in Campinas; we have a small group at Unicamp who is working on Lie algebras in Lean. I'd be happy to meet when there is an opportunity!
