Abstract
The Balog–Szemerédi–Gowers Theorem is a profound result in additive combinatorics which played a central role in Gowers’s proof deriving the first effective bounds for Szemerédi’s Theorem. The proof involves an interplay of different mathematical areas, namely applications of graph theory and probability theory to additive combinatorics. With our successful formalisation, we demonstrate how locales, Isabelle’s module system, can be employed to handle such complex interplays in the formalisation of mathematics.
