Statement

The predicate that the generalized Poincaré conjecture holds in dimension nn, i.e. that any nn-dimensional manifold that is homotopy equivalent to the sphere is in fact homeomorphic to the sphere.

The predicate that the smooth Poincaré conjecture holds in dimension nn.

The values at which the smooth version of the conjecture is known to hold.

The four dimensional case of the smooth version of the conjecture is still open. See [Wang2017].

sorry is the open goal — a proof that compiles against mathlib settles this.

poincare_conjecture.variants.smooth_implication

The smooth formulation of the Millennium Problem implies the general case. This follows from the fact that every topological 3-fold admits a smooth structure [mo296171].

Provenance

  • statement: google-deepmind/formal-conjectures (Apache-2.0), FormalConjectures/Millenium/Poincare.lean

Task

The mathematical conjecture was proved by Grigori Perelman. The remaining registry task is to formalize an accepted proof or meaningful components of the Ricci-flow and geometrization argument in a proof assistant.
