Homogeneous length functions on Groups: Intertwined computer & human proofs

10 Apr 2019  ·  Gadgil Siddhartha ·

We describe a case of an interplay between human and computer proving which played a role in the discovery of an interesting mathematical result. The unusual feature of the use of computers here was that a computer generated but human readable proof was read, understood, generalized and abstracted by mathematicians to obtain the key lemma in an interesting mathematical result.
