Conditional Lean formalisation of “Independent sets in hypergraphs with no loose triangle” by Ayush Basu, Abhishek Dhawan and Abhishek Methuku. Assuming the explicitly stated normalized Li–Postle vertex-coloring bound for triangle-free hypergraphs with edges of sizes 3 and 4, for every fixed integer r >= 3 there are constants c > 0 and N such that every n-vertex hypergraph with n >= N, edge sizes between 3 and r, and no loose triangle has an independent set of size at least c n^(2/3) (log log n)^(1/3). The implication is proved in Lean; the Li–Postle premise and the manuscript's Ramsey…
