Retained formal statement1 of 1

Let AA be the set of all nn such that n=d1++dkn = d_1 + ⋯ + d_k with did_i distinct proper divisors of nn, but this is not true for any mnm ∣ n with m<nm < n. Does: nA1n \sum_{n ∈ A} \frac 1 n converge?

Yes: the sum converges. This was proved by Lewis [Le25], whose proof has been formalized in Lean.

The proof uses `sorry`: part of the argument is written but not proved. Lean accepts the file; it does not accept the theorem.
