ProofJudge is an agentic large language model that evaluates the quality of formal proofs in Lean 4 beyond mere correctness. It scores proofs on five dimensions—library leverage, automation fit, structural clarity, statement quality, and Mathlib conventions—using tool access to the relevant repository commit. The system was tested on 218 Mathlib declarations, achieving alignment with human reviewers between 63.5% and 80.8% and releasing its harness, dataset, and traces for open research.

arXiv:2606. 29493v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Benchmarks for LLM-assisted theorem proving in Lean are often treated as intrinsically reliable because every solved instance comes with a machine-checked proof.

arXiv:2608. 00004v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Grading natural-language mathematical proofs is a recurring cost in evaluating math-reasoning systems, and frontier LLM judges are expensive.

Large language models produce outputs presented as discoveries - new proofs, conjectures, or molecules. Whether such an output that appears creative is truly original and effective is hard to establis...
arXiv:2606. 31002v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Theorem-proving benchmarks evaluate proof search against fixed formal statements, but natural-language-to-Lean formalization must generate the formal statement itself.

LLMs have recently achieved strong results on formal proving benchmarks. However, existing evaluations remain heavily concentrated on competition-style problems and often fail to capture how models behave on longer, more dependency-rich mathematical developments.
arXiv:2603. 02668v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We present SorryDB, a dynamically-updating benchmark of open Lean tasks drawn from 78 real world formalization projects on GitHub.

CausalSmith is a framework that automates theoretical research in causal inference by integrating a Lean proof assistant with a self‑improving agentic pipeline. It uses Causalean, a Lean library of over 7,000 machine‑checked declarations, and a pipeline that selects topics, proposes results, formalizes statements, constructs proofs, and audits them against informal claims. The system’s artifacts and source code are publicly available on GitHub.

arXiv:2607. 18240v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can achieve strong fact-checking accuracy, yet forced binary decisions conceal a critical reliability problem: systems may issue confident verdicts even when supporting evidence is weak, sparse, or internally inconsistent.

arXiv:2607. 22511v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automating theoretical research is constrained not only by the generation of candidate results, but also by their reliable evaluation.
