Lean statement

Generalized Coulomb ionization-energy asymptotics

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.CoulombAtom.generalized_ionization

Lean statement file: CoulombIonization.leanShow on the mapFamily 263. OpenAI lists this as a main result in its Lean catalogue.

The Lean statement

The lines of the Lean statement that state the theorem, then the definitions in the file that it uses.

def MainStatement : Prop :=  ∃ a : ℝ, 0 < a ∧ TFCharacterization a ∧ JointLimit a ∧ IteratedLimits a⋮theorem generalized_ionization : MainStatement := by  sorry

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

Atlas selected this possible match by comparing words in the Lean statement with every statement in the family. No review of whether the statements mean the same thing is recorded.

Words of the Lean statement, its names split into words, that also appear in the theorem: 7/3, generalized, energy, limits, spin, ionization, tf and integers. Shared only with the release’s name for the Lean statement or OpenAI’s note on it: full, convergence, whenever, atoms, electron, coulomb and states.

Statements in Generalized ionization energies for full Coulomb atoms come first because the release’s name for this Lean statement shares words with that paper’s title.

Theorem 1.1 of Generalized ionization energies for full Coulomb atoms

Theorem (Generalized ionization energy)

For full nonrelativistic Coulomb atoms with two electron spin states,

\frac{I_m(Z)}{m^{7/3}}\longrightarrow a_{\TF}>0 \quad\text{whenever}\quad m\longrightarrow\infty, \qquad \frac Zm\longrightarrow\infty,

where Z>m\ge1 are integers. In particular,

\begin{aligned}\lim_{m\to\infty} \frac{\limsup_{Z\to\infty} I_m(Z)}{m^{7/3}} &=a_{\TF},\\ \lim_{m\to\infty} \frac{\liminf_{Z\to\infty} I_m(Z)}{m^{7/3}} &=a_{\TF}.\end{aligned}

The inner limits are taken over integer Z with m fixed. No convergence of I_m(Z) at a fixed m is asserted or assumed.

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

two independent groups report that Comparator accepted runs for this Lean statement file: Carlos Toledo’s cert-machine; MathVet. 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.

Carlos Toledo’s cert-machine

How they ran it, in their words

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…

MathVet

How they ran it, in their words

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.

Accepted Their term: “comparator-sandboxed-pass”.
Re-run through Comparator in a sandboxed virtual machine: accepted.
Reported 8 October 2026, at the release version shown here. Original verification report

What an accepted Comparator run would establish

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.

Allowed axioms: propext, Quot.sound, Classical.choice

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 263’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.

Neither group finds that the Lean statements express or imply the whole advertised result. They describe what the statements express in different terms.

OpenAI’s own note on what this Lean statement covers

“Let $I_m(Z)$ be the energy needed to remove $m$ electrons from a neutral atom of nuclear charge $Z$. There is a positive coefficient $a_{\mathrm{TF}}$ with the Thomas–Fermi variational characterization such that $I_m(Z)/m^{7/3}\to a_{\mathrm{TF}}$ whenever $m\to\infty$ and $Z/m\to\infty$, with integers $Z>m\ge1$. The corresponding iterated limsup and liminf limits hold with $Z\to\infty$ first. The energy uses the full antisymmetric Sobolev form domain; fixed-$m$ convergence and ground-state attainment are outside this statement.”
Quoted from OpenAI’s Lean note for this family

An AI agent drafted an interpretation of that note, classifying this statement as “states a paper’s theorem as the paper does”. No human review of the draft is recorded.

Links in the file: 40 to its own declarations, 52 to Mathlib’s documentation. 20 declared names also link to the same declaration in OpenAI’s library. 4 identifiers stay plain because they resolve to no single declaration: variables Lean binds automatically, notation, or names the scan of the pinned sources did not find. OpenAI uses Mathlib version d13f23b. The linked documentation describes the current version, so names that have since changed may be missing there.

Definitions and lemmas named by the statement

If Comparator accepts a proof, it proves generalized_ionization exactly as written here. To compare that statement with the paper, also read the definitions and lemmas listed below. Atlas found them by following names in the source text and lists each after the names it uses. For x.foo, Atlas includes every foo defined here for a type, even when the statement may use only one of them.

It reaches all 19 other declarations of the file; with the theorem itself they span 66 lines. 1 of them is named in the statement itself.

Generalized ionization energies for full Coulomb atoms

Theorem (Generalized ionization energy)

For full nonrelativistic Coulomb atoms with two electron spin states,

\frac{I_m(Z)}{m^{7/3}}\longrightarrow a_{\TF}>0 \quad\text{whenever}\quad m\longrightarrow\infty, \qquad \frac Zm\longrightarrow\infty,

where Z>m\ge1 are integers. In particular,

\begin{aligned}\lim_{m\to\infty} \frac{\limsup_{Z\to\infty} I_m(Z)}{m^{7/3}} &=a_{\TF},\\ \lim_{m\to\infty} \frac{\liminf_{Z\to\infty} I_m(Z)}{m^{7/3}} &=a_{\TF}.\end{aligned}

The inner limits are taken over integer Z with m fixed. No convergence of I_m(Z) at a fixed m is asserted or assumed.

Theorem (Deficit at a prescribed price)

There is a universal number q>0 such that, for every sequence satisfying

\lambda=s^{-4},\qquad s\longrightarrow0, \qquad Zs^3\longrightarrow\infty,

and every choice of n minimizing E_n+\lambda n, one has

s^3(Z-n)\longrightarrow q.

The number q is the exterior Coulomb charge of the unique classical solution, tending uniformly to zero at infinity, of

\Delta F=4\pi k\bigl((F-1)_+\bigr)^{3/2} \quad\text{on }\R^3\setminus\{0\}, \qquad k=(5T/3)^{-3/2},

that is bounded above and below by positive multiples of |x|^{-4} near zero. The density k((F-1)_+)^{3/2} has bounded support, and F(x)=q/|x| outside that support. Moreover,

a_{\TF}=\frac37q^{-4/3}.

Generalized outer-electron radii of neutral Coulomb atoms

Theorem (Generalized ionization conjecture: radii)

Set b_{\mathrm{TF}}=(81\pi^2/2)^{1/3}. For every choice of normalized neutral ground states (\Psi_Z)_{Z\ge1} of (intro:hamiltonian),
