Automatically constructing well-specified and valuable mathematical conjectures remains a central challenge in AI-assisted mathematical discovery. Many existing open problems and conjectures are often too broad, underspecified, or difficult to connect to plausible proof or refutation strategies.
EPOCH is an evidence‑governed architecture for AI research agents that improves how candidate discoveries are evaluated and validated. By combining explicit task contracts, typed memory, active falsification, admission checks, and independent replay, EPOCH ensures that each candidate is judged against the strength and scope of its claim. The system achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on several benchmarks, including AlgoTune, Math14, and AgentHPO, and demonstrates significant advances in executable constructions, algorithm optimization, counterexamples, and proof‑supported results across ten discovery problems.
The paper introduces Ansatz, a mathematical research agent that uses Continual Graph Memory to organize and reuse intermediate proof results across multiple problems. The system represents facts, plans, and counterexamples in a unified graph, enabling dependency-aware retrieval, evidence-sensitive curation, and scoped recall to guide long-horizon proof searches. Experiments show Ansatz solves all ten First Proof Second Batch problems, tackles the Jamison caterpillar conjecture, and makes progress on several Erdős problems without human help.
arXiv:2607. 14582v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing LLM-based theorem provers have achieved impressive results on formal mathematics benchmarks, yet they remain confined to acting as autonomous agents that prove a stated proposition.
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.
