Abstract
Reasoning about axiomatically characterized abstract structures has been central to mathematics since the early twentieth century. The ability of Lean and its mathematical library, Mathlib, to manage a complex network of such structures has been essential to their acceptance by the mathematical community. In this talk, I will discuss some of the challenges that structural reasoning brings and how they are addressed in Lean and Mathlib. I will also discuss recent work by Joshua Clune, Yicheng Qian, and Alexander Bentkamp toward developing automated reasoning tools that work in such an environment.
