Abstract
ABSTRACT This is an overview of a formalization project in the proof assistant Isabelle/HOL of a number of research results in infinitary combinatorics and set theory (more specifically in ordinal partition relations) by Erdős–Milner, Specker, Larson and Nash-Williams, leading to Larson’s proof of the unpublished result by E.C. Milner asserting that for all , . This material has been recently formalised by Paulson and is available on the Archive of Formal Proofs; here we discuss some of the most challenging aspects of the formalization process. This project is also a demonstration of working with Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory in higher-order logic.
