Abstract
Computer algebra systems are really good at factoring polynomials, i.e.
writing f as a product of irreducible factors. It is relatively easy to verify
that we have a factorisation, but verifying that these factors are irreducible
is a much harder problem. This paper reports work-in-progress to do such
verification in Lean.
