Modal CEGAR-tableaux with RECAR and resolution-based SAT-shortcuts

arXiv:2606. 31878v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We investigate two approaches for extending CEGAR-tableaux with SAT-shortcuts using a previously known approach called RECAR but also a totally new approach using the modal resolution theorem prover KSP as an oracle.

Pythagoras-Prover: Advancing Efficient Formal Proving via Augmented Lean Formalisation

arXiv:2606. 12594v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern Lean theorem provers achieve strong performance only with substantial training and inference compute, driven in part by scarce verified proof data and the long reasoning traces of formal proof search, making both supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and sampling expensive.

Verifiable LLM-Guided Focal SMT Solving for Quantified Arrays

The paper introduces LinguaArray, a framework that uses large language models (LLMs) to suggest a small set of focal ground terms or constraints—called a Semantic Focus Set—in quantified array SMT solving. The LLM’s suggestions are then verified by a conventional SMT solver, which remains the sole source of proof. Experiments on 1,015 SMT-LIB instances show that LinguaArray solves up to 69.1% of cases and increases the number of solved instances by 105%–397% compared to the backends alone.

A Study of Parallel Continuous Local Search

arXiv:2606. 06656v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study parallel Continuous Local Search (CLS) as a solution approach for Boolean satisfiability problems with symmetric pseudo-Boolean (PB) constraints.

NanoProof: Open and Efficient Automated Theorem Proving in Lean 4

NanoProof is the first factorized execution‑guided theorem prover in Lean 4 whose training data, tooling, pipeline, and weights are all publicly released, enabling end‑to‑end reproducibility with open‑source resources. The authors provide a dataset of structured proof trees and a programmatic interaction tool for Lean 4, emphasizing compute efficiency to make training and evaluation more accessible. NanoProof achieves a 50.8% pass@16 on MiniF2F‑Test, outperforming comparable systems while using far less compute, demonstrating that such provers can be rebuilt from scratch with modest resources.
