Abstract

The prime number theorem, established by Hadamard and de la Vallée Poussin independently in 1896, asserts that the density of primes in the positive integers is asymptotic to 1/ln x . Whereas their proofs made serious use of the methods of complex analysis, elementary proofs were provided by Selberg and Erdös in 1948. We describe a formally verified version of Selberg's proof, obtained using the Isabelle proof assistant.
