Harnessing Code Agents for Automatic Software Verification

Formal verification offers the strongest guarantee of software correctness, but it does not scale: the proofs demanded by interactive theorem provers such as Coq require enormous expert effort. Large language models (LLMs) promise to generate these proofs automatically, yet existing approaches wire a fixed, human-designed proof strategy into the system and constrain the model to follow it (retrieving premises and predicting tactics one step at a time, or splitting goals by divide-and-conquer), and still prove only a fraction of their target theorems.

Stellar Colosseum: A Many-Agent Harness for Long-Horizon Research in Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science

Stellar Colosseum is a model‑agnostic harness designed to improve long‑horizon research in mathematics and theoretical computer science by allocating inference across multiple agents. It explores alternative strategies before constructing proofs, uses a readiness gate to decide when a route is mature enough to decompose, represents proof plans as interdependent subproblems, and routes verifier findings back to the relevant part of the argument. The workflow generates candidates in parallel, attacks them with targeted falsification, and combines candidates and critiques into a single research artifact through overlapping random‑sample tree aggregation, and has been integrated into Google Antigravity's Teamwork framework as the Long Proof pattern. Demonstrations show that, when paired with Gemini 3.1 Pro, Stellar Colosseum achieves 71.0% accuracy on the TCS‑Bench theorem‑proving benchmark and solves 218 of 222 Codeforces problems.

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.

Autoformalizing Argumentative Material Inferences

The paper introduces GUARD, a neuro‑symbolic system that autoformalizes argumentative material by completing missing premises (guards) before formal verification. It uses large language models to generate candidate guards, Isabelle/HOL to verify them, and a contrastive test to ensure the proof depends on the original premises and does not over‑generalize. Experiments on Debatepedia and ARCT show that GUARD improves verified‑faithful scores by over 30 points and reduces leakage by about 20 points compared to prior LLM‑driven theorem proving methods.
