The paper introduces a new human‑AI collaboration paradigm for mathematical discovery, shifting from selecting individual problems to exploring broad research directions. It presents the Find, Attempt, and Recommend (FAR) pipeline, which automatically searches a literature corpus, filters candidate conjectures, and surfaces promising resolutions for expert review. In a combinatorics pilot, FAR processed over 5,000 papers, identified thousands of open conjectures, and ultimately highlighted 77 items that led to new discoveries.

arXiv:2606. 29687v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We report a machine-verified resolution of a problem open for over a decade in quantum optimization: the Farhi, Goldstone and Gutmann (FGG) conjecture that depth-$p$ Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) on the ring of disagrees attains approximation ratio $(2p+1)/(2p+2)$ exactly.

arXiv:2603. 08322v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study mathematical discovery through the lens of neurosymbolic reasoning, where an AI agent powered by a large language model (LLM), coupled with symbolic computation tools, and human strategic direction, jointly produced a new result in combinatorial design theory.

arXiv:2607. 15001v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Lattice quantum chromodynamics (LQCD) provides a first-principles framework for computing hadronic observables, but its practical use remains limited by the substantial expertise required to turn research motivation into reliable computing workflows.

The paper introduces the AI Mathematician (AIM) framework, which leverages Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) to tackle frontier mathematical research. AIM addresses the complexity and procedural rigor of research problems through an exploration mechanism for longer solution paths and a pessimistic reasonable verification method for reliability. Early experiments show AIM can autonomously construct significant proof components and uncover non‑trivial insights across real‑world mathematical topics.

arXiv:2608. 07743v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Identifying a meaningful quantum speedup requires more than matching a classical problem to a familiar quantum primitive: the claim must preserve the task, respect access and output models, expose required promises, and remain within a defensible complexity scope.

arXiv:2607. 06820v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in AI for Mathematics have focused largely on autoformalization and theorem proving, leaving the role of Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) in agentic LLM workflows underexplored.
