The commutative Tychonoff Wallace semigroup #
The original Wallace interface records Hausdorffness, countable compactness, cancellation and a noninvertible element. The paper's printed corollary also says that the witness is commutative and Tychonoff. This module makes both properties part of the public proposition.
The initial topology is Tychonoff (T₃.₅ in mathlib), since evaluation embeds the group into
a product of circles.
The exact existential content of the paper's Wallace corollary. The algebraic structure is explicitly commutative and the separation property is explicitly Tychonoff.

Formal counterpart of the paper's Wallace corollary. There exists a commutative
Tychonoff countably compact topological semigroup with two-sided cancellation which is not a
group. Wallace.Audit records the standard classical Lean foundations used by the proof.
