The Auslander-Reiten conjecture to Gourevitch's series identity

TheoremThe Auslander-Reiten conjecture #

Auslander-Reiten conjecture. Let $\Lambda$ be an Artin algebra and let $M$ be a finitely generated $\Lambda$-module with $\operatorname{Ext}^i_\Lambda(M, M) = 0$ and $\operatorname{Ext}^i_\Lambda(M, \Lambda) = 0$ for all $i > 0$. Then $M$ is projective.

An Artin algebra is a ring $\Lambda$ that is an algebra over a commutative Artinian ring $A$ and is finitely generated as an $A$-module.

Auslander and Reiten [AR75] derived this from the generalized Nakayama conjecture. The conjecture for Artin algebras is false: an internal OpenAI model gave an explicit counterexample in September 2026 [OAI26], a finite-dimensional algebra over the field $\mathbb{F}_2(q, H_1, H_2)$ with a finite-dimensional non-projective module satisfying both vanishing conditions. The commutative version, obtained by replacing $\Lambda$ with a commutative Noetherian ring $R$, is open and is what the commutative algebra literature calls the Auslander-Reiten conjecture. The two hypotheses are together equivalent to $\operatorname{Ext}^i_R(M, R \oplus M) = 0$ for all $i > 0$.

Known cases of the commutative version include: $R$ a locally excellent Cohen-Macaulay normal ring containing $\mathbb Q$ [HL04]; $R$ a Gorenstein normal ring [Ar09]; $R$ a Cohen-Macaulay normal ring [KOT22]; and, most generally, $R$ any normal ring [Ki23]. Auslander, Ding and Solberg [ADS93] proved it for local complete intersections. The commutative version is open in general, already for commutative Noetherian local rings.

The Auslander-Reiten conjecture [AR75] is false. The conjecture states: let $\Lambda$ be an Artin algebra and $M$ a finitely generated $\Lambda$-module with $\operatorname{Ext}^i_\Lambda(M, \Lambda) = 0$ and $\operatorname{Ext}^i_\Lambda(M, M) = 0$ for all $i > 0$. Then $M$ is projective.

That $\Lambda$ is an Artin algebra is the hypothesis that it is an algebra over some commutative Artinian ring A and is finitely generated as an A-module.

This was disproved by an internal OpenAI model in September 2026 [OAI26]; see the linked Lean proof. The counterexample is a finite-dimensional algebra over the field $\mathbb{F}_2(q, H_1, H_2)$, which is the ring A there.

Textbook result, stated without proof.

Over a regular local ring the conjecture is standard: every finitely generated module has finite projective dimension $p$, and if $p > 0$ then $\operatorname{Ext}^p_R(M, R) \ne 0$. Only the vanishing of $\operatorname{Ext}^i_R(M, R)$ is used, and the conclusion is freeness.

TheoremDecidability of reachability for branching vector addition systems #

A branching vector addition system (BVAS) of dimension d is given by a finite list of axioms, a finite list of unary rules, and a finite list of binary rules, each of which is a vector in ℤ^d. A configuration is a vector in ℕ^d, which here is represented as a vector v ∈ ℤ^d subject to 0 ≤ v. The set of reachable configurations is defined inductively:

every axiom that is a valid configuration (i.e. lies in ℕ^d) is reachable;

if v is a reachable configuration, r is a unary rule and v + r ∈ ℕ^d, then v + r is reachable;

if v₁, v₂ are both reachable configurations, r is a binary rule and v₁ + v₂ + r ∈ ℕ^d, then v₁ + v₂ + r is reachable.

Modelling axioms as vectors in ℤ^d and only counting the non-negative ones as reachable yields the same set of reachable configurations as the usual definition in which axioms are required to lie in ℕ^d.

Branching vector addition systems are distinguished from ordinary vector addition systems (VAS) by allowing binary rules. VAS reachability is known to be decidable.

The reachability problem for branching vector addition systems is decidable.

That is, the predicate taking a dimension d, a branching vector addition system b of dimension d and a target vector t ∈ ℤ^d, and returning whether t is reachable in b, is a computable predicate. Note that the dimension is part of the input: a single algorithm must work for all dimensions.

As of August 2026, the solution is quite recently announced and is not yet peer-reviewed.

The Casas-Alvero conjecture states that if a univariate polynomial P of degree d over a field of characteristic zero shares a non-trivial factor with its Hasse derivatives up to order d-1, then P must be of the form (X - α)ᵈ for some α in the field.

The conjecture has been proven for: * Degrees d ≤ 8 * Degrees of the form p^k where p is prime * Degrees of the form 2p^k where p is prime

The conjecture is false in positive characteristic p for polynomials of degree p+1.

TheoremThe Catch-Up game and conjecture #

The game Catch-Up (Isaksen–Ismail–Brams–Nealen, 2015) is a two-player, perfect-information game played on a finite nonempty set S of positive integers. Each time a player removes a number from S, that number is added to the player’s score.

Rules. * The scores start at 0. Player p1 starts by removing exactly one number from S. * After the first move, players alternate turns. On a turn, the current player removes one or more numbers from S, one at a time, and must keep removing numbers until their score becomes at least the opponent’s score; before the final pick they must remain strictly behind. * If the current player cannot catch up (in particular, even taking all remaining numbers would still leave them behind), the game ends immediately: the current player receives all remaining numbers.

When S is empty, the player with higher score wins; equal scores give a draw.

In this file we define: * Player and Outcome, * the recursive evaluator value (optimal play), * the conjecture value_of_even_mul_succ_self_div_two.

Example

TheoremClaude's Cycles #

Reference: Claude's Cycles by Donald E. Knuth (2026)

Fix m ≥ 2. Consider the directed graph with vertex set (ZMod m)³, where from each vertex (i, j, k) there are directed arcs to (i+1, j, k), (i, j+1, k), and (i, j, k+1) (arithmetic mod m). The goal is to partition all 3m³ directed arcs into three edge-disjoint directed Hamiltonian cycles (each of length m³).

Knuth describes an explicit construction, found by Claude (Anthropic), that achieves this decomposition for all odd m ≥ 3. The case m = 2 is known to be impossible [Aub82]. The even case m > 2 is also settled. Knuth's paper says so in its final section, added in the 14 April 2026 revision: "Breaking news: The problem for even values of m is no longer in doubt!" Ho Boon Suan's algorithm [Ho26] is proved correct for even m ≥ 8 in [GPT26], and Aquino-Michaels [AM26] gives a decomposition for the even case that is simpler. The statement below starts at m = 4, which is below the range [GPT26] covers, so it also rests on the explicit solutions in [Kn26], whose header gives even m ≥ 4.

A finite group in which distinct conjugacy classes have distinct cardinalities is called an anti-homogeneous group (or ah-group). The symmetric group $S_3$ is an ah-group: its three conjugacy classes have sizes $1$, $2$, and $3$. Markel's $S_3$-conjecture (1973) asserts that, up to isomorphism, $S_3$ is the only nontrivial finite ah-group. The conjecture has been proved for all solvable groups (independently by Zhang and by Knörr–Lempken–Thielcke), but the general non-solvable case remains open.

TheoremThe Courtade–Kumar (most informative Boolean function) conjecture #

Let $X$ be uniform on the Boolean cube $\{0,1\}^n$. Independently of $X$, let the coordinates of $Z$ be i.i.d. Bernoulli random variables with parameter $p \in [0, 1]$, and put $Y = X \oplus Z$, so that $Y$ is the output of $n$ independent binary symmetric channels with crossover probability $p$ on input $X$. The Courtade–Kumar conjecture asserts that for every Boolean function $f : \{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}$,

$I(f(X); Y) \le 1 - h(p)$,

where mutual information and binary entropy are measured in bits.

The usual restriction to $p \in [0, 1/2]$ is equivalent to the range used here. For $p > 1/2$, complementing every output bit replaces $Z$ by its bitwise complement, which is i.i.d. Bernoulli($1 - p$) noise still independent of $X$; this bijective relabelling of the output preserves $I(f(X); Y)$, and $h(1 - p) = h(p)$.

This file contains two formulations:

CourtadeKumar.courtade_kumar is the elementary finite-sum statement used by the external Lean proof and its comparator check. Its definitions and statement are retained unchanged.

CourtadeKumar.variants.courtade_kumar_random_variable is the random-variable formulation. Its product-law hypothesis specifies a uniform input and independent i.i.d. Bernoulli channel noise, and its conclusion is about the mutual information of the actual random variables.

CourtadeKumar.courtade_kumar_iff_random_variable proves that the two formulations are equivalent, without using either research statement. Shannon entropy and mutual information of finite-valued random variables are defined in FormalConjecturesForMathlib.InformationTheory.FiniteEntropy.

For $n \ge 1$, coordinate dictators attain the bound: $I(X_i; Y) = I(X_i; Y_i) = 1 - h(p)$, since the other output coordinates are independent of $(X_i, Y_i)$. The test mutualInfo_dictator checks $n = 1$.

The Courtade–Kumar conjecture, in random-variable form.

The pushforward in the hypothesis is the joint distribution of $(X, Z)$. The uniform measure on Cube n is the law of $n$ i.i.d. Bernoulli($1/2$) bits. The product law makes the coordinates of $Z$ i.i.d. Bernoulli($p$) and makes the whole noise vector independent of $X$. In bernoulliMeasure true false p, true has probability $p$ and denotes a flip.

Conditional on $X$, $Y = X \oplus Z$ flips each input coordinate independently with probability $p$: this is the memoryless binary symmetric channel with crossover probability $p$ from $X$ to $Y$. Every Boolean function is allowed, including constants. All maps between these finite discrete types are measurable, so $f \circ X$ and $Y$ are measurable. The conclusion is $I(f(X); Y) \le 1 - h(p)$ in bits, for the entire output vector $Y$.

The linked proof proves the elementary statement CourtadeKumar.courtade_kumar, and CourtadeKumar.courtade_kumar_iff_random_variable transfers it to this formulation.

TheoremDe Giorgi's conjecture #

This file states a conjecture of De Giorgi about entire solutions to $Δ u + u - u^3 = 0$. The conjecture is a rigidity theorem: in spatial dimension $n ≤ 8$, the level sets of bounded solutions which satisfy $∂₁u > 0$ everywhere are hyperplanes. It has been shown that the condition $n ≤ 8$ is sharp.

The main theorems are: - DeGiorgi_le_eight: the conjecture holds in dimension $n ≤ 8$. - DeGiorgi_ge_nine: the conclusion of the conjecture does not hold if $n ≥ 9$.

The cases $1 ≤ n ≤ 8$ are also listed individually to enable partial solutions. The cases $1 ≤ n ≤ 3$ are solved, while $4 ≤ n ≤ 8$ remains open.

Existing results

The case $n = 1$ trivially holds ($u$ is injective since $∂_1 u > 0$).

The case $n = 2$ was proven by Ghoussoub and Gui.

The case $n = 3$ was proven by Ambrosio and Cabré.

The case $4 ≤ n ≤ 8$ was proven under an extra assumption by Savin.

The counterexample for $n ≥ 9$ was proven by Del Pino, Kowalczyk, and Wei.

References

Ghoussoub, Gui, Mathematische Annalen 311 (1998) proves the conjecture for $n = 2$.

Ambrosio, Cabré, Journal of the American Mathematical Society 13 (2000) proves the conjecture for $n = 3$.

Savin, Annals of Mathematics 169 (2009) proves the case $4 ≤ n ≤ 8$ under an additional assumption.

Del Pino, Kowalczyk, Wei, Annals of Mathematics 174 (2011) shows that the condition $n ≤ 8$ is sharp.

`DisjointNPPairs.no_complete_disjoint_NP_pair`

Open: stated without proof.

There is no complete disjoint NP pair (Razborov [Ra94]; Pudlák's conjecture DisjNP [Pu17]).

No disjoint NP pair is complete under polynomial-time many-one reductions of pairs. This is the strongest of the "incompleteness in the finite domain" conjectures: it implies that no length-optimal propositional proof system exists [Ra94, KMT03], hence NP ≠ coNP and P ≠ NP. Equivalently [Pu17], for every consistent polynomial-time axiomatized theory T ⊇ S¹₂ some disjoint NP pair is not provably disjoint in T.

Open: stated without proof.

There is no complete disjoint coNP pair (Pudlák's conjecture DisjCoNP [Pu17]).

No disjoint coNP pair is complete under polynomial-time many-one reductions of pairs. This implies that TFNP has no complete problem and that SAT has no p-optimal proof system [Pu17, Kh22].

If NP = coNP then a complete disjoint NP pair exists [GSSZ04, Pu17].

The pair (SAT, ¬SAT) is then a disjoint NP pair, and every disjoint NP pair (A, B) reduces to it via a Cook–Levin reduction of A to SAT, since B is disjoint from A.

TheoremThe Eisenbud-Green-Harris conjecture #

Let $S = k[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ with $x_1 > x_2 > \dots > x_n$ and let $I \subseteq S$ be a homogeneous ideal. The Hilbert function of $I$ is $d \mapsto \dim_k I_d$.

A monomial ideal is an ideal generated by monomials. A monomial ideal $L$ is lex if for any two monomials $u, v$ of the same degree with $u >_{\mathrm{lex}} v$ we have $u \in L$ whenever $v \in L$. Macaulay's theorem says that every homogeneous ideal has the same Hilbert function as a unique lex ideal.

Eisenbud-Green-Harris conjecture. If $I$ contains a regular sequence of forms of degrees $d_1 \le \dots \le d_c$, then there is a lex ideal $L$ such that $I$ has the same Hilbert function as $L + (x_1^{d_1}, \dots, x_c^{d_c})$.

Eisenbud, Green and Harris proposed the conjecture in [EGH93] and [EGH96] to generalise a theorem of Castelnuovo and Cayley-Bacharach type theorems for zero-dimensional subschemes of $\mathbb P^m$. It refines Macaulay's theorem, which is the case $c = 0$.

The conjecture is open in general. It holds when the regular sequence is monomial, by the Clements-Lindström theorem [CL69], and when the degrees grow quickly, namely when $d_i \ge \sum_{j < i} (d_j - 1)$ for all $i \ge 3$: this is due to Caviglia and De Stefani [CDS20], improving on Caviglia and Maclagan [CM08], who assumed the strict inequality. Other known cases are $c \le 2$, and $d_1 = \dots = d_c = 2$ with $c \le 5$ by Güntürkün and Hochster; [CDS20] lists these with references.

The Lex-plus-powers conjecture, attributed to Charalambous and Evans, predicts that the ideal $L + (x_1^{d_1}, \dots, x_c^{d_c})$ above also has the largest graded Betti numbers among all ideals with that Hilbert function containing a regular sequence in those degrees. The Eisenbud-Green-Harris conjecture is its $i = 0$ case [CS18]. It is not formalised here.

The Hilbert function MvPolynomial.hilbertFunction, lex ideals MvPolynomial.IsLexIdeal and the ideal of pure powers MvPolynomial.purePowersIdeal are defined in FormalConjecturesForMathlib.RingTheory.MvPolynomial.LexPlusPowers.

The conjecture holds when the degrees grow quickly enough, namely when $d_i \ge \sum_{j < i} (d_j - 1)$ for all $i \ge 3$. This is [CDS20, Theorem A]; Caviglia and Maclagan [CM08] had proved it under the strict inequality. Indices here are 0-based, so $i \ge 3$ becomes 2 ≤ i. The subtraction is on ℕ, which is harmless because a regular sequence of degrees d forces 1 ≤ d j.

TheoremIs a finite locally free group scheme killed by its order?#

A finite locally free group scheme of rank n is the group scheme analogue of a finite group of order n. Lagrange's theorem gives g ^ n = 1 in a finite group of order n, and Grothendieck asked whether the n-th power map of such a group scheme is trivial. The answer is affirmative over a reduced base and for commutative group schemes, and negative in general. Which exponents kill every group scheme of a given rank is open.

A group scheme is represented here by its coordinate Hopf algebra A over the base ring R. A is not assumed to be cocommutative, so the group scheme is not assumed to be commutative. The base is a ring rather than a scheme: a finite locally free group scheme is affine over its base, and being killed by m is local on the base, so nothing is lost.

Grothendieck's question: is every finite locally free group scheme of rank $n$, over every commutative ring, killed by $n$?

The answer is no. There is a commutative Hopf algebra of rank $4$ over a finite non-reduced ring whose fourth power map is not trivial; its eighth power map is trivial. The formalised counterexample lives in Type, so the statement quantifies over rings and algebras in Type.

Determine the function assigning to each positive integer $n$ the least positive integer $m$ such that every finite locally free group scheme of rank $n$, over every commutative ring, is killed by $m$. The value is $0$ if there is no such $m$, since sInf ∅ = 0 in ℕ. As in killed_by_rank, the rings and algebras are in Type.

Grothendieck asked whether this least exponent is $n$ itself. It is not, already for $n = 4$. If some positive exponent kills every group scheme of rank $n$, then these exponents are the multiples of the least one, so minimality for $\le$ agrees with minimality for divisibility.

Open: stated without proof.

If x is a fusible number and y is its successor, then the interval [x + 1, y + 1) can be divided into intervals [ℓₙ, ℓₙ₊₁), such that the fusible numbers in [ℓₙ, ℓₙ₊₁) are obtained by fusing the n + 1st successor of x with a fusible number. This formalization differs from Conjecture 7.1 in the paper in four ways: (1) it is obtained from Conjecture 7.1 by plugging in n + 1 into n, which simplifies the expressions and removes the need to assume n ≥ 1; (2) the n + 1st successor s^(n+1)(x) is replaced by the explicit value x + (2 - 1 / 2 ^ n) * m; (3) instead of defining y to be the successor of x, we assert that there is no fusible number strictly between x and y; (4) instead of using ∃ z, IsFusible z ∧ q = s^(n+1)(x) ~ z we use the value of z determined by the equality, namely z = 2 * q - 1 - s^(n+1)(x), and it is easy to see z ∈ [x + 1 - m / 2 ^ n, x + 1) as required.
