A formal proof of the Kepler conjecture
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
This article describes a formal proof of the Kepler conjecture on dense sphere packings in a combination of the HOL Light and Isabelle proof assistants. This paper constitutes the official published account of the now completed Flyspeck project.
