Formalizes the combinatorial components of chromatic localisation theory in Lean.
We study a certain monoid of endofunctors of the stable homotopy category that includes localizations with respect to finite unions of Morava K-theories. We work in an axiomatic framework that can also be applied to analogous questions in equivariant stable homotopy theory. Our results should be helpful for the study of transchromatic phenomena, including the Chromatic Splitting Conjecture. The combinatorial parts of this work have been formalised in the Lean proof assistant.

Understanding the monoid of endofunctors of the stable homotopy category generated by localizations with respect to finite unions of Morava K-theories is relevant to transchromatic phenomena and the Chromatic Splitting Conjecture, but the combinatorial aspects are complex.

The authors work in an axiomatic framework applicable to both ordinary and equivariant stable homotopy theory, studying iterated chromatic localizations. The combinatorial parts of the work are formalized in the Lean proof assistant to ensure correctness of the intricate combinatorial arguments.

The results characterize the monoid structure of iterated chromatic localizations, providing tools for studying transchromatic phenomena including the Chromatic Splitting Conjecture. The Lean formalization covers the combinatorial components of the proofs.
