arXiv:2604. 02995v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce the penalised Saito functional $\mathfrak S_{\lambda,\beta}(\mathcal{A};d_1,d_2)$ for a reduced arrangement $\mathcal{A}$ of $n$ lines and a prescribed pair $d_1+d_2=n-1$.

The paper introduces a method for evaluating the intrinsic interestingness of mathematical theorems by comparing the length of their proofs to the length of their statements. It trains a 27B language model to predict proof difficulty, enabling the generation and selection of more interesting theorems while significantly reducing overlap with existing Mathlib. The approach allows iterative expansion of a self‑building, machine‑verified mathematical library guided by quantifiable metrics.

arXiv:2606. 03419v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The 2026 disproof of Erd\H{o}s's unit-distance conjecture and Sawin's subsequent explicit quantitative refinement show that the maximum number $u(n)$ of unit distances among $n$ planar points can exceed $n^{1+\varepsilon}$ for a fixed positive $\varepsilon$.

The paper announces a new lower bound of 0.8559 for the Steiner ratio, improving on the previous 0.824 bound for the Gilbert‑Pollak Conjecture. It introduces an AI system that uses large language models to generate rule‑constrained geometric lemmas, which are then turned into executable verification functions that certify the bound. The approach relies on only thousands of LLM calls, highlighting the feasibility of LLM‑based methods for advanced mathematical research.

arXiv:2603. 05556v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Integer sequences in the OEIS span values from single-digit constants to astronomical factorials and exponentials, making prediction challenging for standard tokenised models that cannot handle out-of-vocabulary values or exploit periodic arithmetic structure.

arXiv:2004. 05813v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Suppose that we are given independent, identically distributed random samples $x_1,\cdots,x_n$ from a mixture at most $k$ many $d$-dimensional spherical Gaussian distributions $\mu_1,\cdots,\mu_{k_0}$ of identical and known variance $\sigma^2$ in each coordinate, such that the minimum $\ell^2$ distance between two distinct centers $y_l$ and $y_j$ is greater than $2\Delta\sigma \min\{\sqrt{d},\sqrt k\}$, where $\Delta>C_0$, and $C_0$ is a sufficiently large universal constant.
