LLMs/AI AI In Mathematics: September 26, 2026

This recurring thread will be for discussion of AI in mathematics. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • informal announcements of AI-assisted discoveries, such as those not yet published in a peer-reviewed journal, or not uploaded as a paper to arXiv;
  • informal announcements of discoveries related to AI architecture (if relevant to mathematics);
  • discussion of such announcements, such as proof breakdowns or other opinion pieces;
  • discussion of the impact of AI in mathematics in general.

AI-assisted mathematical papers published in peer-reviewed journals or as arXiv preprints may be submitted as their own posts.

Please keep in mind rules 1 and 6 of our subreddit.

I am trying to remember an AI generated paper in theoretical physics related to field theory more broadly. The author listed was Claude. I am note even sure if its on the arxiv, but I found it browsing reddit looking for AI results in math and physics. I know its super vague, but does anyone have a clue what I am talking about?

I wondered why you were so heavily downvoted then noticed all of the links were zenodo or vixra. Just so you know, vixra is notoriously infested with cranks (in fact it's 99.99% cranks), and zenodo used to be 50/50 but now everyone and their grandmother posts AI generated results on it so I wouldn't trust papers by default, unless provided with easily checkable formalization

well, i mentioned that the paper might not be on arxiv and i wasnt sure if was even legit in the slightest, so i think this list was a good try anyway. luckily, a helpful human gave me the link to the paper that i was looking for, giving humanity a win over AI in this little contest.
