Riesz transforms and rectifiability in higher codimension
OpenAI groups related papers into a “family”. OpenAI’s catalogue describes this one:
Resolves the remaining higher-codimension Riesz-transform rectifiability problem: for d ≥ 4 and \(2\le n\le d-2\), an n-Ahlfors–David regular Radon measure on ℝd is uniformly n-rectifiable whenever its n-dimensional Riesz transform is uniformly L2-bounded over all positive hard truncations. The rectifiability bounds depend only on dimension, regularity and operator bounds. (OpenAI’s Lean note)
Lean is a language for mathematical statements and proofs that a computer can verify. The assessments below ask whether those statements express the result OpenAI describes here.
Both independent assessments find that the Lean statements express or imply the whole result described above.Read the assessments
Possible match to OpenAI’s description, selected from the papers’ main statements because it shares the most wording. No review confirming the selection is recorded.
Let d\ge4 and 2\le n\le d-2 be integers. Let \mu be an n-Ahlfors–David regular Radon measure on \R^d satisfying (1.2). Then \mu is uniformly n-rectifiable in the sense of Definition 1.2. Its constants \theta and M can be chosen in terms of d,n,C_{\rm AD} and C_{\rm R} alone.
every non-top cell has one parent, and every cell has finitely many children. When D_E=\infty, all integer generations are available. When D_E<\infty, there is a largest scale \ell_0 with D_E\le\ell_0<2D_E, and finitely many cells at that scale.
All constants depend only on d,n,C_{\rm AD}.
No Lean statement in the release is paired with this theorem.
The release does not say which paper theorem its catalogue describes. Both statements above are shown whole: the paper’s main theorem first, then the statement that shares the most wording with the description. The atlas has not reviewed either choice.
Reported proof verification
One Lean statement in the release; one independent group reports that Comparator accepted a run for this file at the version shown here.
We prove that an n-Ahlfors–David regular Radon measure on ℝd is uniformly n-rectifiable if its n-dimensional Riesz transform is uniformly bounded from scalar \(L^2(\mu)\) to vector-valued \(L^2(\mu)\) over all positive hard truncations, for integers d ≥ 4 and \(2\le n\le d-2\). This gives a positive answer to the David–Semmes Riesz-transform question in its remaining higher-codimension range. The conclusion gives uniform big pieces of Lipschitz images of Euclidean balls.
One Lean statement in this family
Lean is a language for mathematical statements and proofs that a computer can verify. The Lean statement below is shown beside its possible paper counterpart, with the reason they were linked.
For a configured theorem, the Comparator program tests whether OpenAI’s separate proof proves the exact Lean statement using only the allowed axioms. Some statement files instead configure definitions for comparison by name and type. Acceptance does not establish that a formal statement means the same thing as the paper’s theorem.
Let d\ge4 and 2\le n\le d-2 be integers. Let \mu be an n-Ahlfors–David regular Radon measure on \R^d satisfying (1.2). Then \mu is uniformly n-rectifiable in the sense of Definition 1.2. Its constants \theta and M can be chosen in terms of d,n,C_{\rm AD} and C_{\rm R} alone.
The words they share: rectifiable, bound, ad, regular, riesz, measure, integers, constants, higher, codimension, uniform, ahlfors, david.
Possible Lean counterpart
Selected from shared wording. No review of whether the statements mean the same thing is recorded.
RieszQuantitative.lean, the release lists it as a main result.

This file states the theorem with sorry, a placeholder, in place of its proof. OpenAI supplies a separate proof file. Comparator tests whether that proof proves the statement here.
Other mathematical statements in OpenAI’s Lean library
Atlas found these propositions by scanning the text of the project’s Model.lean file. Each name links to its definition, with any associated statement file beside it. This list does not record running Lean to interpret or verify those definitions.
Independent comparisons and proof-verification reports
Does the Lean express the advertised result?
MathVet and cert-machine agree on how much of the advertised result the Lean statements express.
MathVet and Carlos Toledo’s cert-machine independently assessed whether this family’s Lean statements express the whole result OpenAI describes in its catalogue. These are assessments of the family as a whole, not of each paper theorem separately.
MathVet finds that the Lean statements express or imply the whole advertised result (their term: “full”).
Their note:None for the headline; uniform n-rectifiability is encoded as big pieces of Lipschitz images (standard equivalent form). The variation / principal-value corollary is not stated.
Definitions the group asks readers to compare with the paper:ADRegularWithConstant, RieszL2BoundedWithConstant (real-valued f, vector-valued hard truncation truncated), BallImageConclusion are custom but standard in form; AdmissibleRadius uses Metric.ediam μ.support
“full”, in their words: The challenge statements imply the headline claim after unpacking definitions or one routine step.
Their method: An independent, model-assisted, pre-referee reading of each family’s challenge statements against its headline claim under a published rubric (PROTOCOL.md), with its own Comparator runs per challenge.
The formalized result proves that bounded Riesz transforms force quantitative uniform rectifiability in higher codimension. For $d\ge4$ and $2\le n\le d-2$, an $n$-Ahlfors–David regular measure whose positive hard truncations have one uniform $L^2$ operator bound has big pieces of Lipschitz images. The mass fraction and Lipschitz constant depend only on the dimensions and the stated regularity and operator bounds, and work at every support point and admissible radius, including unbounded support. The variation and principal-value corollary is not included.
AI-drafted comparisons, with no recorded human review
Unreviewed AI draft: states a paper’s theorem as the paper does. States the main theorem in quantitative form: an n-Ahlfors–David regular measure in codimension at least two with bounded Riesz transforms has big pieces of Lipschitz images, with constants depending only on the stated data. The variation and principal-value corollary is not included.
Who ran the proof-verification program?
These groups report running Comparator with the release’s Lean statement files. For a configured theorem, it verifies OpenAI’s separate proof against the exact statement; some files instead configure definitions for comparison by name and type. Each row is the named group’s report. Atlas has not repeated the runs.
These reports do not list the software versions, proof-verification programs, axioms, time or memory in separate fields. Any such details in a report’s prose are reproduced below.
The program that collects Atlas’s source records, Statement Map, could not obtain or interpret some source material. These notes describe those limits; they do not identify mathematical errors.

Address a question raised in an independent assessment
The challenge statements imply the headline claim after unpacking definitions or one routine step.
Their method
An independent, model-assisted, pre-referee reading of each family’s challenge statements against its headline claim under a published rubric (PROTOCOL.md), with its own Comparator runs per challenge. Its protocol describes a planned error-rate study; this import does not establish that the study has been completed.
The challenge statements state the headline as OpenAI wrote it.
Their method
Every Comparator challenge re-run on Linux with nanoda switched on, decided by a preregistered rule; every family’s challenge statements read against OpenAI’s headline, clause by clause.
