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:2607. 14178v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in Large Language Models have fueled autonomous AI agents capable of tackling complex scientific tasks, yet existing automated research systems remain predominantly focused on empirically driven domains with quantitative benchmarks, leaving theory-driven discovery, particularly in mathematically grounded disciplines requiring rigorous proofs and synthesis of domain knowledge, largely underexplored.

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.

AI reasoning has become a central focus in contemporary artificial intelligence, largely driven by the success of large language models. However, mathematical research, which is characterized by non-linear derivation paths, rigorous logical requirements, and protracted exploration cycles, poses severe challenges for existing reasoning systems.
