Navigating the collection

The current catalogue contains 719 manuscripts organized into 372 families. A family groups related papers, which may include a principal result, companion arguments, consequences, or alternative proofs. Each family is classified by mathematical discipline.

• Start with the overview for descriptions of the families.
• Use the manuscript map to find individual papers and their supporting materials.
• The preprints/ directory contains PDFs, source files, and manuscript-specific citation and build instructions.
• The Lean library and formalization catalogue describe the available formal proofs, their associated papers, and verification configurations. See the Comparator instructions for additional checking ins
• Updates to the repo are described in the history.

How the results were produced

The vast majority of results were obtained with the same procedure using an unreleased internal OpenAI model. On average, each result used three hours of ChatGPT Pro thinking compute with that model. Over the course of the evaluation, the model was posed approximately 4,000 problems. Aggregating the output into result families and manuscripts and requiring an appropriate level of significance led to the catalog outlined above.

Exceptions to this fixed procedure include work on a zero-free region for the Riemann zeta function and proof of the Hodge Conjecture for CM abelian varieties. Additionally, the writeup for the Re(s) > 11/12 zero-free region for the Riemann zeta function was human edited for readability.
