Erdős Problem #501 resolved as independent of ZFC with Lean-verified human–AI work
A Lean 4 development resolves the first question of Erdős Problem #501 as independent of ZFC: CH gives a negative model, while adding sufficiently many random reals gives a positive model. The missing large-cardinal-free transfer is credited to Elliot Glazer working with Sol and Claude; prior components were human results.

Stein dimension-free weak-(1,1) Riesz transform problem resolved
Ouyang, Spector and Stockdale prove a dimension-free weak-type (1,1) bound with constant 2 for the vector Riesz transform, settling Stein’s 1986 ICM problem. The paper states that the proof strategy was developed through LLM dialogues involving GPT-5.6 Sol, OpenAI reasoning agents and Claude Opus 5.0; the authors then independently checked, rewrote and validated the argument.

A Claude-assisted research workflow reportedly improved the proportion of non-trivial simple zeros shown to lie on the critical line from about 41.6% to 67.2%. This was a substantial partial result, not a proof of the Riemann Hypothesis. The work used roughly 31M output tokens, about 60 sub-agents, around 650 discarded strategies, thousands of computational checks and Lean formalization.
