A Formalization of the Mean-Field Derivation of the Vlasov Equation: AI-Assisted Lean Formalization as a Strategy Game

We formalize a research result in the Lean 4 proof assistant by having a mathematician direct an AI system, and frame the activity as a formalization game. The objective is to turn a LaTeX document into Lean. The game is won when the development compiles, contains no sorry, and a machine check shows the target theorems rest on Lean's foundational axioms alone. Reuse is a second check, by a definition we introduce: whether the development yields a self-contained layer of general mathematics the…
