Auditing an AI-Generated Mathematical Proof: Human Assessment of OpenAI's Quantum Parallel-Repetition Argument

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The article reports an independent human audit of a proof from OpenAI’s "Ten Advances in Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science." An initial review flagged a polarity error in a greedy conditioning lemma, but this was traced to a PDF text‑extraction issue that removed an overbar from a symbol. After correcting the rendering, no mathematical error was found, and the audit underscores that errors in AI‑generated mathematics can stem from document‑processing problems as well as reasoning mistakes.

A Human Audit of OpenAIs AI-Generated Mathematical Proofs

The article audits 18 chapter‑specific reviews of ten mathematical results announced by OpenAI, examining review standards, Lean formalizations, subsequent research, and references. No confirmed substantive errors remain in the principal results, though review depth varies and some dependencies are only partially checked. Chapter 8 raises the strongest reservation, requiring major revision of compressed analytic arguments, while Chapter 6’s polarity error was corrected after a PDF extraction issue.

A Machine-Verified Proof of a Quantum-Optimization Conjecture

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.
