Categorical Pullbacks

Marco Riccardi — 2015

Formalized Mathematics

The main purpose of this article is to introduce the categorical concept of pullback in Mizar. In the first part of this article we redefine homsets, monomorphisms, epimorpshisms and isomorphisms [7] within a free-object category [1] and it is shown there that ordinal numbers can be considered as categories. Then the pullback is introduced in terms of its universal property and the Pullback Lemma is formalized [15]. In the last part of the article we formalize the pullback of functors [14] and it...

Object-Free Definition of Categories

Marco Riccardi — 2013

Formalized Mathematics

Category theory was formalized in Mizar with two different approaches [7], [18] that correspond to those most commonly used [16], [5]. Since there is a one-to-one correspondence between objects and identity morphisms, some authors have used an approach that does not refer to objects as elements of the theory, and are usually indicated as object-free category [1] or as arrowsonly category [16]. In this article is proposed a new definition of an object-free category, introducing the two properties:...

The Jordan-Hölder Theorem

Marco Riccardi — 2007

Formalized Mathematics

The goal of this article is to formalize the Jordan-Hölder theorem in the context of group with operators as in the book [5]. Accordingly, the article introduces the structure of group with operators and reformulates some theorems on a group already present in the Mizar Mathematical Library. Next, the article formalizes the Zassenhaus butterfly lemma and the Schreier refinement theorem, and defines the composition series.

The Sylow Theorems

Marco Riccardi — 2007

Formalized Mathematics

The goal of this article is to formalize the Sylow theorems closely following the book [4]. Accordingly, the article introduces the group operating on a set, the stabilizer, the orbits, the p-groups and the Sylow subgroups.

Pocklington's Theorem and Bertrand's Postulate

Marco Riccardi — 2006

Formalized Mathematics

The first four sections of this article include some auxiliary theorems related to number and finite sequence of numbers, in particular a primality test, the Pocklington's theorem (see [19]). The last section presents the formalization of Bertrand's postulate closely following the book [1], pp. 7-9.

Heron's Formula and Ptolemy's Theorem

Marco Riccardi — 2008

Formalized Mathematics

The goal of this article is to formalize some theorems that are in the [17] on the web. These are elementary theorems included in every handbook of Euclidean geometry and trigonometry: the law of cosines, the Heron's formula, the isosceles triangle theorem, the intersecting chords theorem and the Ptolemy's theorem.MML identifier: EUCLID 6, version: 7.8.09 4.97.1001

Free Magmas

Marco Riccardi — 2010

Formalized Mathematics

This article introduces the free magma M(X) constructed on a set X [6]. Then, we formalize some theorems about M(X): if f is a function from the set X to a magma N, the free magma M(X) has a unique extension of f to a morphism of M(X) into N and every magma is isomorphic to a magma generated by a set X under a set of relators on M(X). In doing it, the article defines the stable subset under the law of composition of a magma, the submagma, the equivalence relation compatible with the law of composition...

Ramsey's Theorem

Marco Riccardi — 2008

Formalized Mathematics

The goal of this article is to formalize two versions of Ramsey's theorem. The theorems are not phrased in the usually pictorial representation of a coloured graph but use a set-theoretic terminology. After some useful lemma, the second section presents a generalization of Ramsey's theorem on infinite set closely following the book [9]. The last section includes the formalization of the theorem in a more known version (see [1]).MML identifier: RAMSEY 1, version: 7.9.01 4.101.1015

Solution of Cubic and Quartic Equations

Marco Riccardi — 2009

Formalized Mathematics

In this article, the principal n-th root of a complex number is defined, the Vieta's formulas for polynomial equations of degree 2, 3 and 4 are formalized. The solution of quadratic equations, the Cardan's solution of cubic equations and the Descartes-Euler solution of quartic equations in terms of their complex coefficients are also presented [5].

The Perfect Number Theorem and Wilson's Theorem

Marco Riccardi — 2009

Formalized Mathematics

This article formalizes proofs of some elementary theorems of number theory (see [1, 26]): Wilson's theorem (that n is prime iff n > 1 and (n - 1)! ≅ -1 (mod n)), that all primes (1 mod 4) equal the sum of two squares, and two basic theorems of Euclid and Euler about perfect numbers. The article also formally defines Euler's sum of divisors function Φ, proves that Φ is multiplicative and that Σk|n Φ(k) = n.

Exponential Objects

Marco Riccardi — 2015

Formalized Mathematics

In the first part of this article we formalize the concepts of terminal and initial object, categorical product [4] and natural transformation within a free-object category [1]. In particular, we show that this definition of natural transformation is equivalent to the standard definition [13]. Then we introduce the exponential object using its universal property and we show the isomorphism between the exponential object of categories and the functor category [12].
