Erdős Problem 971

Let p(a, d) be the least prime congruent to a (mod d). Does there exist a constant c > 0 such that for all large d, p(a, d) > (1 + c) * φ(d) * log d for ≫ φ(d) many values of a?

Statement artifacts, not proofs

These records expose exact Lean propositions and statement-only wrappers. Defining a proposition does not supply a proof of it. A placeholder-bearing target also contains no proof. Elaboration checks syntax and types; it does not certify that a formalization perfectly captures every nuance of the informal problem.
