A Lean 4 / Mathlib formalization of the Hoffman–Singleton theorem on Moore graphs of diameter two. For a finite k-regular graph of diameter at most two: the Moore bound n ≤ k² + 1; if moreover the girth is at least five, then n = k² + 1 and the graph is strongly regular with parameters (k² + 1, k, 0, 1); and, if k ≥ 2, then k ∈ {2, 3, 7, 57}. Mathlib has strongly regular graphs and the spectral theorem for Hermitian matrices, but not this theorem.
