\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-7})$

A formal proof of the Ramanujan--Nagell theorem in Lean 4

arXiv:2604.09808v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present a complete formalization, in the Lean interactive theorem prover with the Mathlib library, of the Ramanujan--Nagell theorem: the only integer solutions to the Diophantine equation $x^2 + 7 = 2^n$ are $(n,x) \in \{(3,\pm1),(4,\pm3),(5,\pm5),(7,\pm11),(15,\pm181)\}$. The formalization includes all dependencies, notably the computation of the ring of integers of the quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-7})$, its class number,...
