The Following Are Equivalent (TFAE)

This file provides the tactics tfae_have and tfae_finish for proving goals of the form TFAE [P₁, P₂, ...].

Parsing and syntax

We implement tfae_have in terms of a syntactic have. To support as much of the same syntax as possible, we recreate the parsers for have, except with the changes necessary for tfae_have.

The following parsers are similar to those for have in Lean.Parser.Term, but instead of optType, we use tfaeType := num >> impArrow >> num (as a tfae_have invocation must always include this specification). Also, we disallow including extra binders, as that makes no sense in this context; we also include " : " after the binder to avoid breaking tfae_have 1 → 2 syntax (which, unlike have, omits " : ").

def Mathlib.Tactic.TFAE.tfaeHave : Lean.ParserDescr

tfae_have introduces hypotheses for proving goals of the form TFAE [P₁, P₂, ...]. Specifically, tfae_have i <arrow> j := ... introduces a hypothesis of type Pᵢ <arrow> Pⱼ to the local context, where <arrow> can be →, ←, or ↔. Note that i and j are natural number indices (beginning at 1) used to specify the propositions P₁, P₂, ... that appear in the goal.

example (h : P → R) : TFAE [P, Q, R] := by
  tfae_have 1 → 3 := h
  ...

The resulting context now includes tfae_1_to_3 : P → R.

Once sufficient hypotheses have been introduced by tfae_have, tfae_finish can be used to close the goal. For example,

example : TFAE [P, Q, R] := by
  tfae_have 1 → 2 := sorry /- proof of P → Q -/
  tfae_have 2 → 1 := sorry /- proof of Q → P -/
  tfae_have 2 ↔ 3 := sorry /- proof of Q ↔ R -/
  tfae_finish

All features of have are supported by tfae_have, including naming, matching, destructuring, and goal creation. These are demonstrated below.

example : TFAE [P, Q] := by
  -- assert `tfae_1_to_2 : P → Q`:
  tfae_have 1 → 2 := sorry

  -- assert `hpq : P → Q`:
  tfae_have hpq : 1 → 2 := sorry

  -- match on `p : P` and prove `Q` via `f p`:
  tfae_have 1 → 2
  | p => f p

  -- assert `pq : P → Q`, `qp : Q → P`:
  tfae_have ⟨pq, qp⟩ : 1 ↔ 2 := sorry

  -- assert `h : P → Q`; `?a` is a new goal:
  tfae_have h : 1 → 2 := f ?a
  ...

def Mathlib.Tactic.TFAE.tfaeFinish : Lean.ParserDescr

tfae_finish is used to close goals of the form TFAE [P₁, P₂, ...] once a sufficient collection of hypotheses of the form Pᵢ → Pⱼ or Pᵢ ↔ Pⱼ have been introduced to the local context.

tfae_have can be used to conveniently introduce these hypotheses; see tfae_have.

Example:

example : TFAE [P, Q, R] := by
  tfae_have 1 → 2 := sorry /- proof of P → Q -/
  tfae_have 2 → 1 := sorry /- proof of Q → P -/
  tfae_have 2 ↔ 3 := sorry /- proof of Q ↔ R -/

Deprecated "Goal-style" tfae_have

This syntax and its implementation, which behaves like "Mathlib have" is deprecated; we preserve it here to provide graceful deprecation behavior.

opaque Mathlib.Tactic.TFAE.useDeprecated : Lean.Option Bool

Re-enables "goal-style" syntax for tfae_have when true.

def Mathlib.Tactic.TFAE.tfaeHave' : Lean.ParserDescr

"Goal-style" tfae_have syntax is deprecated. Now, tfae_have ... should be followedby := ...; see below for the new behavior. This warning can be turned off with set_option Mathlib.Tactic.TFAE.useDeprecated true.
