arXiv:2604. 03245v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The remarkable reasoning and code generation capabilities of large language models (LLMs) have recently motivated increasing interest in automating formal verification (FV), a process that ensures hardware correctness through mathematically precise assertions but remains highly labor-intensive, particularly through the translation of natural language into SystemVerilog Assertions (NL-to-SVA).
