Well .. I didn’t reply to the mailing list because it contains some insulting 
words to third-party products. But since you forwarded it already, I’m fine 
with that.

I didn’t know you were looking for formalizations of pure mathematics theories, 
but here is my another little experience:

1. Go to "Formalizing 100 Theorems” web site [1] and find a theorem in your 
targeting area.
2. Choose one of the formalization under that theorem (if there is), based on 
the theorem prover you know how to use.
3. We can imagine the formalization of that theorem must depends or ships with 
a large piece (if not the whole) of underlying math theory.

The only sad thing is, this web site didn’t mention any work done in HOL4 (and 
its predecessors). While the closest one is HOL light, of course. I think 
migrating theories to HOL4 from other theorem provers is not always 
straightforward but still doesn’t create much academic value, unless you can 
push the related theories to a higher level.

Chun Tian
