What the notation means · or point at any symbol
NNatural numbers
The natural numbers 0, 1, 2, …. In Lean they start at 0. (ℕ)
<Less than
0 is strictly smaller than n. (0 < n)
Fin
Fin: a definition from the library, not special notation. Its name is its meaning; open it in Lean to see how it is defined. (Fin)
f(x)Function application
Fin applied to n. Lean writes f x; papers write f(x). (Fin n)
⟹Implies
If Fin(n), then ℝ. (Between types, A → B is the type of functions from A to B.) (Fin n → ℝ)
∀For all
The statement after the comma holds for every i, j. (∀ i j, s i - s j ≤ R)
(x : T)As real numbers
n read as an element of real numbers. Mathematicians leave this implicit; Lean needs it to know which kind of number is meant. ((n : ℝ))
·Multiplication
n times ∑ j, (exp(s(j))/(∑ k, exp(s(k))))^2. ((n : ℝ) * ∑ j, (Real.exp (s j) / ∑ k, R…)
-Subtraction
s(i) minus s(j). On ℕ, Lean's subtraction stops at 0: 2 − 5 = 0. (s i - s j)
≤At most
s(i) − s(j) is less than or equal to R. (s i - s j ≤ R)
RReal numbers
The real numbers: every point on the number line. (ℝ)
aᵇPower
exp(s(j))/(∑ k, exp(s(k))) raised to the power 2. ((Real.exp (s j) / ∑ k, Real.exp (s k)) …)
eˣExponential function
e raised to the power s(j), where e ≈ 2.718. (Real.exp (s j))
a/bDivision
exp(s(j)) divided by ∑ k, exp(s(k)). In Lean, dividing by 0 gives 0. (Real.exp (s j) / ∑ k, Real.exp (s k))
∑Summation
Add up exp(s(k)) for every k. (∑ k, Real.exp (s k))
coshHyperbolic cosine
(eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2 at R/2. (Real.cosh (R / 2))
=Equality
cosh(R/2)^2 and (1 + exp(R))^2/(4 · exp(R)) are the same. (Real.cosh (R / 2) ^ 2 = (1 + Real.exp R…)
∧And
Both hold: cosh(R/2)^2 = (1 + exp(R))^2/(4 · exp(R)), and cosh(R/2)^2 ≤ exp(R). (Real.cosh (R / 2) ^ 2 = (1 + Real.exp R…)
+Addition
1 plus exp(R). (1 + Real.exp R)

Sharpens ua-uniform-proposal-chi-square-bound (e^R) by a factor of about 4 at large R and shows second-order degradation near R = 0 (cosh²(R/2) = 1 + R²/4 + O(R⁴)). Proof: Kantorovich range bound on x_j = e^{s_j} ∈ [a, a e^R] with uniform weights. Raised in an external review, 2026-10-05.
