Lander, Parkin, and Selfridge Conjecture
The Lander–Parkin–Selfridge conjecture: if the sum of positive integer -th powers equals the sum of positive integer -th powers, with all values on the left distinct from all values on the right, then .

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.
