Listen "Interjection: The Liquid Tensor Experiment"
Episode Synopsis
I pause the chapter on extensionality in type theory to talk about something very exciting that I just learned about (though the project was completed Summer 2022): the so-called Liquid Tensor Experiment, to formalize a recent very difficult proof by a mathematician named Peter Scholze, in Lean. This is the first time in history, that I know of, when a theorem was formalized in a theorem prover, in order to resolve doubts of the mathematician who proved it. An amazing achievement. This episode tells the story, as I have understood it on line. The result apparently sparked this recent workshop.
