A Lean 4 / Mathlib formalization of the Lovász Local Lemma for finitely many events in a probability space with a dependency graph (each event mutually independent, in the sense of Mathlib's `ProbabilityTheory.Indep` of generated σ-algebras, of its non-neighbours), in its general form (P(A_i) ≤ x_i ∏_{j∼i}(1 − x_j) implies P(no event) ≥ ∏(1 − x_i)) and its symmetric form (e p (d + 1) ≤ 1 implies P(no event) > 0); and of two applications: Spencer's Ramsey lower bound (if 2e(C(k,2)C(n,k−2) + 1) ≤ 2^C(k,2) then R(k,k) > n) and the Erdős–Lovász property B theorem for k-uniform hypergraphs (each…
