arXiv:2608. 11211v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Conway's 99-graph problem asks whether a strongly regular graph with parameters $\mathrm{srg}(99,14,1,2)$ exists.
arXiv:2608. 08154v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The Zarankiewicz number Z(m,n,s,t) is the maximum number of edges in a bipartite graph with parts of orders m and n containing no copy of Ks,t.

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 $\varepsilon$.

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.
arXiv:2607. 00815v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: SAT solvers settle combinatorial problems beyond the reach of interactive theorem provers and produce LRAT certificates for independent verification.
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 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.
arXiv:2606. 06136v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We prove the positive-real $n=9$ case of the Vasc cyclic inequality.
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:2607.00815v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: If the certificate produced by a SAT solver is checked by a verified checker, we get a verdict which convinces. But this verdict cannot be na...
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 $d_1+d_2=n-1$.
arXiv:2606. 29477v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The specification number $\sigma_n(f)$ of a Boolean threshold function $f$ on $n$ variables is the least number of points whose $f$-values determine $f$ uniquely among all threshold functions.
