LRAT-Catcher: Importing SAT Solver Certificates into Lean4 by Reflection

Stefan Szeider

SAT solvers settle combinatorial problems beyond the reach of interactive theorem provers and produce LRAT certificates for independent verification. We present LRAT-Catcher, a standalone, general-purpose tool that imports a DIMACS formula together with an LRAT certificate into Lean 4 as a theorem. LRAT-Catcher runs the formally verified LRAT checker from Lean core as compiled native code via reflection. This scales to instances where Mathlib's explicit proof-term import exhausts memory. LRAT-Catcher also composes cube-and-conquer solving runs entirely inside Lean. Per-cube refutations are combined with a cover-completeness certificate, itself an LRAT proof, into a single unsatisfiability theorem. Verified encodings connect CNF-level results to the original combinatorial problems. We evaluate the tool against Mathlib's proof-term import and the external checker cake_lpr on establishing the Schur number S(4) = 44 and the Ramsey number R(4,4) = 18 as Lean theorems.

A cubical formalisation of topos causal models: intervention, sheaf gluing, and the intuitionistic do-calculus

Karen Sargsyan

Topos causal models recast causal inference inside a topos: a causal world is a presheaf, an intervention is a characteristic map into the subobject classifier, and reasoning is carried out in the intuitionistic internal language. We give the first machine-checked account of this…

Scaling Up Formal Representation of Clinical Trial Protocols in Ensemble Logic Using LLMs: A Preliminary Study

Yan Huang, Xubing Hao, Xiaojin Li, Rashmie Abeysinghe, Xiaoqian Jiang, Licong Cui, et al.

The reliance on unstructured free text for documenting clinical trial protocols creates a significant barrier to automated reasoning, cohort discovery, and trial simulation. The lack of formal structure obscures critical temporal phenotypes, such as dynamic eligibility criteria a…
