Summary

This PR adds a formalization of the monochromatic quantum graph / perfect-matching equation system problem (see #2205) in the formal-conjectures style. The problem is motivated by quantum-optics constructions of high-dimensional multipartite GHZ-type states via linear optics, where interference amplitudes can be expressed as weighted sums over perfect matchings.

The setup uses a complete graph K_N whose edges carry both (i) endpoint “color indices” in Fin D and (ii) a coefficient/weight. For each vertex assignment ι : V N → Fin D, we define a perfect-matching sum pmSumN N D W ι (sum over perfect matchings, each contributing the product of its induced edge weights). The equation system EqSystemN N D W enforces:

  • pmSumN ... ι = 1 iff ι is constant (monochromatic inherited vertex coloring),
  • pmSumN ... ι = 0 otherwise.

This yields exponentially many constraints in N on only O(N^2) edge variables, matching the combinatorial formulation in the MathOverflow reference above.


What this PR contains

  • Core definitions:

    • edge/weight model (EdgeN, WeightsN)
    • perfect-matching sum (pmSumN)
    • the equation system (EqSystemN)
  • Verified “sanity check” solutions (explicit witnesses):

    • N = 4, D = 2
    • N = 4, D = 3
    • N = 6, D = 2
  • Open conjectures stating non-existence over several coefficient domains:

    • , , , and integer weights restricted to { -1, 0, 1 }
  • Recorded non-existence results over ℝ≥0 attributed to Bogdanov’s lemma (as research solved, proof omitted)

All general statements are restricted to even N, since odd N admits no perfect matchings.

I believe this is fixed by now, let me know if i need to do something in addition here.

Thanks for the contribution, this looks pretty cool! A few initial comments:)

Thank you! Please note i only started with Lean a few days ago, and use GPT 5.2 Pro. I can read the code and verify that -- as far as i understand it -- it makes sense. The test solutions further strengthen my conviction that its right, but i certianly cannot verify it in full generality. Thus it would be helpful to check carefully whether the defitions (especially of the PMs and its sum) are really solid. Thank you!

@MarioKrenn6240 A PR is a normally limited to one problem at a time (to reduce reviewing scope), unless the problems are closely related and use the same definitions. You can open 2 new PRs for the 13 and 35 problem and also link the corresponding issue in the new PR then :)

Oh i am sorry, these files got accidentally added to this PR too while i made the other two PRs. Sorry, just fixed it. Great the file is now ready to merge. Thank you!

LGTM. Could you add the changes (a few style nits) I pushed to https://github.com/google-deepmind/formal-conjectures/tree/MarioKrenn6240/main ?
