Proof-Refactor: Refactoring Generated Formal Proofs into Modular Artifacts

arXiv:2606. 03743v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown strong performance in generating formal proofs, their outputs often remain less readable, modular, maintainable, and reusable than proofs in mature formal mathematics libraries.

Compiler-Guided Adaptive Proof Search with Cross-Model Synergy on Context-Dependent Theorem Proving

The paper introduces a compiler-guided adaptive proof search framework for Lean 4 theorem proving, addressing the challenge of context-dependent proofs in real-world projects. It balances exploration and exploitation by generating diverse starting points via dual-model generation and resampling when stagnation occurs, while refining promising states using compiler-grounded pairwise comparison. Experiments on seven Lean 4 projects from miniCTX‑v2 demonstrate that the method improves average pass rates by 12.8 percentage points within a pass@32 budget and reduces LLM calls by 21.9 % compared to pass@k baselines.

FaithSieve: Fine-Grained Evaluation of Math Proofs with Faithful Formal Evidence

FaithSieve is a Lean‑assisted framework that fine‑grains natural‑language mathematical proofs into local reasoning units, extracts typed proof obligations, and verifies them with formal evidence gated by semantic alignment. It introduces two expert‑verified datasets—ProofLoc‑Olympiad and ProofLoc‑University—to benchmark first‑error localization. On these benchmarks, FaithSieve outperforms direct‑judging baselines, achieving 81.43% and 84.5% exact first‑error accuracy respectively.

HybridProver: Augmenting Theorem Proving with LLM-Driven Proof Synthesis and Refinement

HybridProver is a unified framework that combines whole-proof synthesis and tactic-based generation using proof sketches as an intermediate representation. Implemented in Isabelle/HOL, it employs two 7B-scale LLMs trained on optimized Isabelle datasets. On the miniF2F Isabelle benchmark, HybridProver achieved a 73.8% success rate, surpassing the previous state of the art of 61.9%, and ablation studies examined the effects of dataset quality, training settings, and sampling strategies.

Mask-Proof: An LLM-based Automated Data Curation Pipeline on Mathematical Proofs

arXiv:2606. 15258v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly capable of mathematical problem solving and can even assist with research-level proofs, yet we still lack a scalable and reproducible way to measure step-level reasoning in long proofs across diverse sources.

RePro: Proof-Verified Benchmark Rewriting for Reliable Evaluation of LLM Mathematical Problem Solving

RePro is a framework that rewrites benchmark problems for large language models (LLMs) in mathematical problem solving, ensuring that the rewritten problems and their answers are valid and correct through Lean-verified proofs. It integrates Lean-oriented neural automated theorem provers (ATPs) to regenerate answers, achieving 100% well-definedness, feasibility, and answer correctness on GSM8K and MATH datasets. Experiments show that models’ performance drops on these proof‑verified rewritten benchmarks, indicating sensitivity to surface‑level and structural variations and potential memorization effects.
