This paper reports a full, structure‑preserving port of the Isabelle/HOL dataset on G"odel’s and Scott’s modal ontological arguments to Lean 4. The port consists of 30 Lean 4 modules that mirror the original theories in section structure, declaration order, and naming, and a comparison tool confirms that all 548 statements are identical. The Lean 4 development reproduces every proof from the Isabelle/HOL version—including the inconsistency of G"odel’s 1970 axioms, the repaired variants, Scott’s variant, modal collapse, monotheism, and the ultrafilter property—while also proving five previously unproven statements and documenting the remaining 45 as unresolved.
"whyItMatters":"The work demonstrates that Lean 4 can faithfully replicate a complex formal development from Isabelle/HOL, providing a new, lean‑based foundation for further exploration of modal ontological arguments."

arXiv:2505. 18492v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Mathematical competition problems fall into two broad types: theorem proving, which asks for a proof of a given statement, and answer construction, which requires constructing a property-satifying object with proofs.

AdvancedMathBench is a new benchmark suite that evaluates large language models on advanced mathematical proof generation and verification. It includes ProverBench, with 245 problems from undergraduate to doctoral qualifying‑exam levels, and VerifierBench, which tests models’ ability to judge proof validity using 888 expert‑annotated trajectories. The suite features an automatic verification pipeline trained on expert data, and results show that even state‑of‑the‑art models perform poorly, highlighting a gap between generation and verification skills.

The paper presents three Isabelle/HOL embeddings of monadic second‑order logic (MSO): a deep embedding, a maximal‑shallow embedding, and a minimal‑shallow embedding that collapses formulas to bool. It introduces a two‑sorted substitution system that ensures capture‑avoiding substitution and proves the faithfulness of all embeddings. A fully mechanised two‑sorted downward Löwenheim‑Skolem theorem is established, showing that the minimal embedding recovers deep validity relative to countable assignments and aligns with both the general (Henkin‑style) and standard readings of MSO, while also demonstrating differences in classical MSO properties across the embeddings.
