A Lean 4 development of the crystallographic restriction in every dimension. For a positive integer m let psi(m) be the sum of phi(p^k) over the prime powers p^k exactly dividing m, except that the prime power 2 contributes 0 (phi is Euler's totient; psi(1) = psi(2) = 0, psi(3) = psi(4) = psi(6) = 2, psi(ab) = psi(a) + psi(b) for coprime a, b; OEIS A080737). Theorem (Vaidyanathaswamy 1928; Hiller 1985; a proof in Kuzmanovich-Pavlichenkov 2002; Theorem 1 of Bamberg-Cairns-Kilminster 2003): for N >= 1, the group GL(N, Z) of invertible integer N x N matrices has an element of order m >= 1 if…
