Lean is a language for mathematical statements and proofs that a computer can verify. This page shows one statement file from OpenAI’s release, possible paper matches and independent reports. The code-like names below identify the definitions or theorems selected by the proof-verification settings.
Theorem selected for verification:OAI.Brennan.Sharp.sharp_endpoints
A Lean statement states the theorem and leaves its proof as sorry on purpose. OpenAI’s proof is in a separate solution module, and a program called Comparator checks that proof against this statement.
Definitions needed to read it
Local definitions the statement names, followed through the definitions they name in turn. The match is by name in the source text, so a name reached only through notation can be missed; the full file is below.

Possible paper match, with no recorded review
No paper statement clearly matched the Lean wording. Statement Map, the program that collects Atlas’s source records, selected this possible match using words in OpenAI’s catalogue and Lean note. No review of whether the statements mean the same thing is recorded.
Shared with the catalogue’s wording or OpenAI’s note, none of them matched in the Lean text: boundary, brennan, conjecture, connected, domain, inverse, means, simply and two more.
Statements in Brennan’s conjecture and sharp inverse-square integral means come first because the Lean file and module names share words with that paper’s title.
Theorem 1.1 of Brennan’s conjecture and sharp inverse-square integral means
Theorem(Brennan’s conjecture and inverse-square means)
For every \varepsilon>0 there is C_\varepsilon<\infty such that
Let W\subset\CC be any simply connected domain whose boundary in the Riemann sphere contains at least two points. Every conformal bijection \varphi:W\to\DD satisfies
For every $\varepsilon>0$ there is $C_\varepsilon<\infty$ such that
\begin{equation}
M_{-2}[f'](r)\le C_\varepsilon(1-r)^{-1-\varepsilon}
\qquad\left(f\in\SSS,\ \frac12\le r<1\right).
\end{equation}
Moreover, $B_{\SSS}(-2)=1$.
Let $W\subset\CC$ be any simply connected domain whose boundary in
the Riemann sphere contains at least two points. Every conformal
bijection $\varphi:W\to\DD$ satisfies
\[
\int_W|\varphi'(z)|^s\dd A(z)<\infty
\qquad\left(\frac43<s<4\right).
\]
Equivalently, every univalent map $f:\DD\to\CC$ satisfies
\[
\int_{\DD}|f'(w)|^t\dd A(w)<\infty
\qquad\left(-2<t<\frac23\right).
\]
Other possible paper matches, closest wording first
Corollary 1.2 of Brennan’s conjecture and sharp inverse-square integral means. Words of the Lean statement, its names split into words, that also appear in the theorem: koebe, integrability, 2/3, function, 4/3, inverse and one more.
Corollary 7.4 of Brennan’s conjecture and sharp inverse-square integral means. Words of the Lean statement, its names split into words, that also appear in the theorem: 4/3, map and domain. Shared only with the release’s name for the Lean statement or OpenAI’s note on it: exponents and boundary.
Proposition 5.6 of Brennan’s conjecture and sharp inverse-square integral means. Words of the Lean statement, its names split into words, that also appear in the theorem: map and domain.
Proposition 2.4 of Brennan’s conjecture and sharp inverse-square integral means. Words of the Lean statement, its names split into words, that also appear in the theorem: disk.
Theorem 1.1 of A strict inverse-first-power bound for univalent functions. Words of the Lean statement, its names split into words, that also appear in the theorem: inverse. Found in the paper’s title, which its main theorem states: functions and univalent.
Proposition 4.1 of Brennan’s conjecture and sharp inverse-square integral means. Words of the Lean statement, its names split into words, that also appear in the theorem: area.
How Atlas selects possible matches: it compares words in the Lean statement with every statement in the family. It also splits Lean names into words. The release’s label and note receive less weight; a main theorem wins a close match. If the Lean wording yields no clear match, Atlas uses the catalogue description. This selects passages to compare; it does not establish that they mean the same thing.
Reported Comparator runs
three independent groups report that Comparator accepted runs for this Lean statement file: Carlos Toledo’s cert-machine; MathVet; Neal McBurnett’s openai-math-lean-tooling. Each group reports its own Comparator run for this statement file. Atlas has not repeated the runs.
For a configured theorem, Comparator tests whether OpenAI’s proof proves the exact Lean statement. Some files instead configure definitions for comparison by name and type. Acceptance does not establish that the statement means the same thing as the paper’s theorem.
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. Decider: Comparator (leanprover/comparator d03acab1 = tag v4.34.0, built with the release’s toolchain v4.34.1), lean4export 076e8e57, landrun 811cfff5, nanoda_lib 3a240721 — on GitHub’s Linux runners (.github/workflows/openai-math-kernel.yml), one j…
AcceptedTheir term: “CERTIFIED”.
Re-run through Comparator with the independent nanoda kernel switched on: Lean’s kernel and nanoda both accept OpenAI’s solution.
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.
AcceptedTheir term: “comparator-sandboxed-pass”.
Re-run through Comparator in a sandboxed virtual machine: accepted.
Each challenge’s solution is built and checked by Comparator at the pinned release, on Lean leanprover/lean4:v4.34.1, recording the verdict, the check time and the peak memory; the run was still in progress at this snapshot (192 accepted, 224 pending).
AcceptedTheir term: “accepted”.
Re-run through Comparator with Lean’s kernel: accepted (the check took 229 s; peak memory 6.3 GiB).
If Comparator is run under this configuration and accepts, the solution proves the configured theorem using only the allowed axioms, and the Lean kernel accepts every step.
This configuration lists no definition holes, so every definition the statement uses is compared as it is written in this file.
Acceptance leaves open whether the Lean statement means the same thing as the paper’s theorem, whether the paper’s other claims are correct, and whether the result is new. Those questions require comparing the definitions and statements, reviewing the paper’s arguments, and reading the earlier literature.
Do family 072’s Lean statements express the advertised result?
These assessments compare all the family’s Lean statements with the whole result OpenAI describes in its catalogue. They do not assess this statement alone. Each group uses its own published rules.
MathVet and cert-machine disagree on how much of the advertised result the Lean statements express.
Finds the whole advertised result stated or impliedTheir term: “full”.
The challenge statements imply the headline claim after unpacking definitions or one routine step. Their record
Their note: Brennan's conjecture and the strict Kraetzer bound are stated; the sharp spectrum identity B_S(t) = |t|-1 is stated only at t = -2, not for all t <= -2.
Definitions the group asks readers to compare with the paper: Custom integral-means spectrum: beta f t := limsup_{r→1⁻} log(integralMean f t r) / log(1/(1-r)) and spectrum t := sSup {b | ∃ f, Schlicht f ∧ beta f t = b} in EReal (standard definition, checked); kraetzerPrediction p := if |p| ≤ 2 then p^2/4 else |p| - 1
Finds part of it stated, or a narrower or weaker statementTheir term: “NARROWER — UNDECLARED”.
The challenge statements state less than the headline, and OpenAI’s Lean note does not say so. Their record
Their note: The headline claims B_S(t) = |t| − 1 for every t ≤ −2. Lean states it only at t = −2 (Brennan.lean:37). The manuscript states the full range as a corollary (sections/06-integrability.tex:56), so the headline matches the paper and the Lean is narrower by that corollary. Mathematically the gap is a short classical step (B_S(t)+t is nondecreasing by the distortion theorem, and the Koebe function gives the lower bound), but it is not stated.
OpenAI’s own note on what this Lean statement covers
“The Koebe map and its inverse give divergence at all four boundary exponents.”
An AI agent drafted an interpretation of that note, classifying this statement as “states a supporting result”. No human review of the draft is recorded.

Let W\subset\CC be any simply connected domain whose boundary in the Riemann sphere contains at least two points. Every conformal bijection \varphi:W\to\DD satisfies
For every $\varepsilon>0$ there is $C_\varepsilon<\infty$ such that
\begin{equation}
M_{-2}[f'](r)\le C_\varepsilon(1-r)^{-1-\varepsilon}
\qquad\left(f\in\SSS,\ \frac12\le r<1\right).
\end{equation}
Moreover, $B_{\SSS}(-2)=1$.
Let $W\subset\CC$ be any simply connected domain whose boundary in
the Riemann sphere contains at least two points. Every conformal
bijection $\varphi:W\to\DD$ satisfies
\[
\int_W|\varphi'(z)|^s\dd A(z)<\infty
\qquad\left(\frac43<s<4\right).
\]
Equivalently, every univalent map $f:\DD\to\CC$ satisfies
\[
\int_{\DD}|f'(w)|^t\dd A(w)<\infty
\qquad\left(-2<t<\frac23\right).
\]
Corollary(Sharpness of the open range)
The Koebe function f(z)=z/(1-z)^2 belongs to \SSS and satisfies
The Koebe function $f(z)=z/(1-z)^2$ belongs to $\SSS$ and satisfies
\[
\int_{\DD}|f'|^{-2}\dd A=\infty,
\qquad
\int_{\DD}|f'|^{2/3}\dd A=\infty.
\]
Its inverse therefore fails area integrability at both $s=4$ and $s=4/3$.
There exist constants \(0<\varepsilon<1/4\) and \(C<\infty\) such that
\begin{equation}
M_{-1}[f'](r)\le C(1-r)^{-1/4+\varepsilon}
\qquad\text{for every }f\in\SSS\text{ and every }1/2\le r<1.
\end{equation}
Consequently \(B_b(-1)<1/4\), and Kraetzer's conjectured identity
\eqref{eq:kraetzer} is false.

Questions to resolve when comparing this statement with the paper
Two independent readers, MathVet and cert-machine, disagree on whether this family's challenges state its headline; a specialist reading would settle it.
