Optimizing Explicit Unit-Distance Lower-Bound Certificates

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 $\varepsilon$.

Formalizing Flag Algebras in Lean

arXiv:2607. 23500v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Razborov's flag algebra method is a powerful tool for proving asymptotic inequalities in extremal graph theory, often reducing the task to finding a finite certificate by semidefinite programming.

Improved Upper Bounds for Slicing the Hypercube

arXiv:2602. 16807v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A collection of hyperplanes $\mathcal{H}$ slices all edges of the $n$-dimensional hypercube $Q_n$ with vertex set $\{-1,1\}^n$ if, for every edge $e$ in the hypercube, there exists a hyperplane in $\mathcal{H}$ intersecting $e$ in its interior.

AutoGraphForge: Towards Automated Graph Theory Discovery

AutoGraphForge is a computational pipeline designed to automate the discovery, refutation, formalization, and proving of graph-theoretic conjectures. It generates conjectures using a Graffiti3 generator, filters out known results with a novelty filter, tests candidates against a large dataset of graphs, and refines surviving conjectures through counterexample search. The pipeline then translates each conjecture into Lean 4, verifies proofs with neural provers, and integrates the results into a formal library.

Towards Solving the Gilbert-Pollak Conjecture via Large Language Models

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.
