Some conjectures about ranks of elliptic curves over ℚ

Conjecture by Goldfeld and Katz–Sarnak: if elliptic curves over ℚ are ordered by their heights, then 50% of the curves have rank 0 and 50% have rank 1. See p. 28 of https://people.maths.bris.ac.uk/~matyd/BSD2011/bsd2011-Bhargava.pdf.

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.
