{"title":"Foreword to: Special Issue on Interactive Theorem Provers","authors":"Alex Kontorovich","doi":"10.1080/10586458.2022.2088982","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/10586458.2022.2088982","url":null,"abstract":"Here at Experimental Mathematics, we like to live up to our moniker. One of the seemingly major innovations in recent times is the rapid expansion of the capabilities of software for formalizing mathematics in interactive theorem provers, to the point that certain papers in top journals can be proved formally about a year or so after the appearance of their “human” versions. The goal of this Special Issue is to record the current state-of-the-art in formalization, and to understand the potential impact such software may have on research mathematics in the near to mid-term future. It certainly seems plausible that 20 years from now, there will exist very highly regarded journals which will only accept formalized proofs. Some of the more committed proselytizers argue that all of the top journals will switch, if not in 20 years, then in 50. (This is not as radical a claim as it may first seem, nor would such a transition be all that unusual in mathematics; e.g., presumably there was a point in the 19th century when it became required for research papers in calculus to include “rigorous” proofs using Cauchy’s ε/δ formalism. From Newton to the Bernoullis to Euler’s nearly thousand publications, no ε’s or δ’s were harmed.) This is particularly interesting from the viewpoint of what it may mean for the publishing process, which currently suffers from a number of inefficiencies. The first of these is error detection and correction. It is common these days to send out first for “quick opinions” of the form: assuming the results are correct, would the main theorems be of sufficient novelty and importance to warrant publication in such-andsuch selective journal. If these reports (often from senior, seasoned experts, and usually returned within a month or two) are positive, then an editor has the much more daunting task of securing referees willing to go through the paper with a fine-toothed comb and check, as best they can, for mathematical errors. (In practice, these are frequently more junior researchers, who may both have fewer other service-type obligations occupying their time, and may also stand to gain valuable experience from reading the submitted paper extremely thoroughly.) Naturally, some of the most important results are also the most difficult to verify, and prone to errors which are not discovered at the refereeing stage. Instances of such abound, so we will not repeat them here. Beyond error correction, submission of formalized mathematics may allow for a much more rapid refereeing process, in which one may need only check that the definitions and theorems have been formalized correctly (which in and of itself is a rather subtle, nontrivial task!), and then let the compiler do the rest.1 Indeed, this is largely how this Special Issue was assembled: referees had plenty of comments on the exposition and quality of results submitted, as well as in some cases correcting the very definitions being formalized, but beyond that, everything was up to ","PeriodicalId":50464,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Mathematics","volume":"31 1","pages":"347 - 348"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41405549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, we provide explicit examples of surfaces containing multiple extremal packings for each type of packing and each topological type of surface possible. Our construction relies in computer experimentation in two ways: first, by performing numerical computations that suggest certain surfaces as good candidates to contain more than one extremal packing, and second by checking with computer algebra software some lengthy necessary algebraic conditions in certain number fields that prove that the surfaces numerically constructed do indeed contain multiple extremal disc-packings.</p>","PeriodicalId":50464,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Mathematics","volume":"257 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138505178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We consider this map acting on the moduli space of projective polygons. We analyze the case of pentagons; the moduli space is 2-dimensional in this case. The second iteration of the map has one integral whose level curves are cubic curves, and the transformation on these level curves is conjugated to the map x (cid:55)→ − 4 x mod 1.
