The paper introduces a compiler-guided adaptive proof search framework for Lean 4 theorem proving, addressing the challenge of context-dependent proofs in real-world projects. It balances exploration and exploitation by generating diverse starting points via dual-model generation and resampling when stagnation occurs, while refining promising states using compiler-grounded pairwise comparison. Experiments on seven Lean 4 projects from miniCTX‑v2 demonstrate that the method improves average pass rates by 12.8 percentage points within a pass@32 budget and reduces LLM calls by 21.9 % compared to pass@k baselines.

arXiv:2606. 15258v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly capable of mathematical problem solving and can even assist with research-level proofs, yet we still lack a scalable and reproducible way to measure step-level reasoning in long proofs across diverse sources.

LLMs have recently achieved strong results on formal proving benchmarks. However, existing evaluations remain heavily concentrated on competition-style problems and often fail to capture how models behave on longer, more dependency-rich mathematical developments.
