Mathematical statement

There exists a proper ideal I in a (commutative) total ring R of fractions that is an invertible module. If I ⊊ R is such an example, I must have infinite order in the Picard group, and R must not be Noetherian (otherwise it must be semi-local and therefore have trivial Picard group).

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.
