We have a new AFP entry in the development branch of the AFP:
Gromov Hyperbolicity
Sebastien Gouezel
A geodesic metric space is Gromov hyperbolic if all its geodesic triangles are
thin, i.e., every side is contained in a fixed thickening of the two other
sides. While this definition looks innocuous, it has proved extremely important
and versatile in modern geometry since its introduction by Gromov. We formalize
the basic classical properties of Gromov hyperbolic spaces, notably the Morse
lemma asserting that quasigeodesics are close to geodesics, the invariance of
hyperbolicity under quasi-isometries, we define and study the Gromov boundary
and its associated distance, and prove that a quasi-isometry between Gromov
hyperbolic spaces extends to a homeomorphism of the boundaries. We also prove a
less classical theorem, by Bonk and Schramm, asserting that a Gromov hyperbolic
space embeds isometrically in a geodesic Gromov-hyperbolic space. As the
original proof uses a transfinite sequence of Cauchy completions, this is an
interesting formalization exercise. Along the way, we introduce basic material
on isometries, quasi-isometries, Lipschitz maps, geodesic spaces, the Hausdorff
distance, the Cauchy completion of a metric space, and the exponential on
extended real numbers.

You will also need to pull from the Isabelle development repo.
Enjoy!
