ProofEvolve is a neuro‑symbolic framework that evolves formally verified symbolic proof structures alongside neural models to expand the knowledge boundary in automated theorem proving. The neural component proposes variation operators such as decompositions, repairs, and schema recombinations, while the Lean kernel verifies every proof transition, ensuring formal soundness. Across three competition‑level Lean benchmarks, ProofEvolve achieves the highest average solve rate among evaluated proof systems.

Euclid-Omni is a unified neuro‑symbolic framework that integrates a formal geometry system with Large Language Models and Vision‑Language Models to solve both calculation and proving problems in Euclidean geometry up to Olympiad level. Its core component, Euclidea, automatically generates deductive reasoning steps and algebraic computations, while a data‑generation pipeline creates synthetic symbolic problems, diagrams, and natural‑language translations for training. Experiments show that VLMs trained on this synthetic data outperform on calculation tasks, and LLMs paired with Euclidea match state‑of‑the‑art proving systems using far less compute and data.

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.

LiveMathematicianBench is a dynamic multiple‑choice benchmark for research‑level mathematical reasoning, built from recent arXiv papers published after model training cutoffs. It introduces a thirteen‑category logical taxonomy of theorem types and uses a proof‑sketch‑guided distractor pipeline to create plausible but invalid answer choices, enhancing sensitivity to genuine reasoning. Evaluation shows current large language models perform poorly, with the best model scoring 43.5% overall and only 17.6% under substitution‑resistant conditions, indicating the benchmark’s difficulty and realism.

The paper introduces HorizonMath, a benchmark of 113 largely unsolved mathematical problems across eight domains, paired with an open-source framework for automated verification. It focuses on the generator‑verifier gap, targeting problems that are hard to discover but easy to verify computationally, thereby avoiding costly formal proof verification or manual review. Using this framework, the authors found six novel solutions—three each from GPT‑5.4 Pro and GPT‑5.6 Sol—demonstrating that current models can contribute to mathematical research, while most state‑of‑the‑art models score below 10%.

FormalEvolve is a neuro‑symbolic evolutionary search framework that treats autoformalization as a budgeted test‑time search problem. It builds a compilation‑feasible archive of formal statements and expands it using LLM‑driven mutation, crossover, bounded patch repair, and symbolic AST rewrites to generate diverse, semantically accepted formalizations. In experiments on CombiBench and ProofNet, FormalEvolve achieves higher SH@100 scores and improves theorem‑complete proving under fixed prover budgets compared to no‑archive baselines.

FaithSieve is a Lean‑assisted framework that fine‑grains natural‑language mathematical proofs into local reasoning units, extracts typed proof obligations, and verifies them with formal evidence gated by semantic alignment. It introduces two expert‑verified datasets—ProofLoc‑Olympiad and ProofLoc‑University—to benchmark first‑error localization. On these benchmarks, FaithSieve outperforms direct‑judging baselines, achieving 81.43% and 84.5% exact first‑error accuracy respectively.
