A Lean 4 formalization of material in a forthcoming manuscript entitled "The Orthogonal Art Gallery Problem is ∃ℝ-complete". A Lean 4 and Mathlib proof, for an explicit single-tape Turing machine model, that deciding whether an orthogonal simple polygon (every edge horizontal or vertical) with rational corners can be guarded by g guards is ∃ℝ-complete under polynomial-time many-one reductions, both when the guards must see the whole polygon (point-point) and when they must see only its boundary (point-boundary). Both problems also reduce to ETR by formulas whose only variables are the 2g…
