Perfect numbers

Infinitely many even perfect numbers conjecture.* Are there infinitely many even perfect numbers?

Mathematical statement

Infinitely many even perfect numbers conjecture.* Are there infinitely many even perfect numbers?

This is equivalent to asking whether there are infinitely many Mersenne primes, since by the Euclid–Euler theorem an even number is perfect if and only if it has the form 2p1(2p1)2^{p-1}(2^p - 1) where 2p12^p - 1 is a Mersenne prime. Reference:* Wikipedia

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.
