An AI-Assisted Formalization of the Poincar\'e Conjecture

The paper reports an AI-assisted Lean 4 formalization of the Poincaré conjecture, beginning with limited reusable formal infrastructure for the geometric analysis. The authors combined a mathematician-prepared proof blueprint with explicit milestone statements, enabling parallel agent work and clear points for identifying blockers and providing guidance. Their analysis highlights the human interventions and organizational choices that shaped this workflow, and suggests that developing reusable infrastructure could reduce the cost of verifying future mathematical results in geometric analysis.

Euclean: Automated Geometry Problem Formalization with Unified Verification in Lean

arXiv:2607. 19374v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent formal reasoning systems have reached IMO-level performance, yet they leave a fragmented landscape: algebra and number theory are handled in Lean, while geometry still relies on domain-specific languages with limited formal guarantees.

Autonomous AI Agents Systematically Diverge From Human Preferences in Proof Formalization

The paper investigates how autonomous AI agents differ from humans in proof formalization tasks. Using a method called "simulated collaboration," the authors analyze nine major Lean collaborations involving 4.7 million definitions. They find that AI agents focus more on explicitly marked gaps, avoid densely connected proof centers and complex or surprising goals, yet are attracted to surprising proof bodies, which they tend to regularize toward a baseline.
