Lean statement

Cylinder-covering counterexamples and companion approximations

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.CylinderCovering.fourPaperMain

Lean statement file: CylinderCovering.leanShow on the mapOpenAI’s Lean catalogue does not list this as a main result; the release’s Lean notes for family 100 link it.

The Lean statement

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

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 matches for the parts of the Lean statement

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

Statements in Finite triangular approximation of radial sweeps come first because the release’s name for this Lean statement shares words with that paper’s title.

The Lean statement joins several assertions with “and”. Atlas selected possible matches to two paper results from their shared wording, listed below. This does not establish that their mathematical meanings agree.

Theorem 1.1 of Finite triangular approximation of radial sweeps

Words of the Lean statement, its names split into words, that also appear in the theorem: frozen, data, mesh, projection, direction, actual, continuous, max and 14 more. Found in the paper’s title, which its main theorem states: approximation. Shared only with the release’s name for the Lean statement or OpenAI’s note on it: nondegenerate.

Theorem

For the data in (eq:radial-sweep), suppose that

w'(t)=\lambda(t)(a+tb)\qquad(t\in J)

for a continuous real function \lambda. For any finite partition \alpha=t_0<t_1<\cdots<t_N=\beta, put I_i=[t_{i-1},t_i] and choose arbitrary tags c_i\in I_i. There are N cylinders covering \mathcal S, with axes parallel to e+w(c_i) and nondegenerate compact triangular perpendicular bases. These covers can be chosen so that their total base area tends to \mathcal A as the mesh \delta=\max_i|I_i| tends to zero, uniformly over the partitions and tags.

Alternatively, take each base to be the perpendicular projection of the actual compact sweep with t\in I_i, in the same frozen direction e+w(c_i). These N cylinders cover \mathcal S, and their total base area also tends to \mathcal A, uniformly over the partitions and tags.

For the data in \eqref{eq:radial-sweep}, suppose that

For any finite partition
\(\alpha=t_0<t_1<\cdots<t_N=\beta\), put \(I_i=[t_{i-1},t_i]\)
and choose arbitrary tags \(c_i\in I_i\). There are \(N\) cylinders
covering \(\mathcal S\), with axes parallel to \(e+w(c_i)\) and
nondegenerate compact triangular perpendicular bases. These covers
can be chosen so that their total base area tends to \(\mathcal A\)
as the mesh \(\delta=\max_i|I_i|\) tends to zero, uniformly over the
partitions and tags.

Corollary 1.2 of Finite triangular approximation of radial sweeps

Words of the Lean statement, its names split into words, that also appear in the theorem: unit, length, regular, edge, perp, min, triangular, tetrahedron and six more. Shared only with the release’s name for the Lean statement or OpenAI’s note on it: nondegenerate.

Corollary

Every regular tetrahedron K\subset\R^3 of positive edge length has a finite cylinder cover B_i+\R u_i, with unit axes u_i and nondegenerate compact triangular bases B_i\subset u_i^\perp, such that

\sum_i\area(B_i)<\frac{A_{\min}(K)}2, \qquad \sum_i\frac{\area(B_i)}{\area(\pi_{u_i^\perp}K)}<\frac12.

  • Theorem 5.1 of Finite angular cylinder covers below the half-area bound. Words of the Lean statement, its names split into words, that also appear in the theorem: range, independent, triangle, error, continuous, caps and 13 more.

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…

  • Accepted Their term: “CERTIFIED”.

    Re-run through Comparator with the independent nanoda kernel switched on: Lean’s kernel and nanoda both accept OpenAI’s solution.

    Reported 10 October 2026, at the release version shown here. Original verification report

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 100’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 agree on how much of the advertised result the Lean statements express.

  • MathVet

    Finds the whole advertised result stated or implied Their term: “full”.

    The challenge statements imply the headline claim after unpacking definitions or one routine step. Their record

    Their note: None for the headline; the aggregate file additionally states ruled-set and radial-sweep approximation results.

    Definitions the group asks readers to compare with the paper: CylinderCovering.lean contains ten run_cmd Lean.modifyEnv fun env => Lean.Meta.auxLemmasExt.setState env {} lines (environment-resetting metaprogramming inside a challenge file; a memory/performance hack that does not change statements)

  • Carlos Toledo’s cert-machine

    Finds the whole advertised result stated or implied Their term: “MATCHES”.

    The challenge statements state the headline as OpenAI wrote it. Their record

OpenAI’s own note on what this Lean statement covers

“The linked aggregate includes the accompanying explicit angular covers and finite approximation theorems for ruled sets and radial sweeps. The affine extension of the directionwise conclusion to every nondegenerate tetrahedron is outside the selected regular-tetrahedron statements.”

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: 356 to its own declarations, 210 to Mathlib’s documentation. 109 declared names also link to the same declaration in OpenAI’s library. 1 identifier stays plain because it resolves to no single declaration: a variable Lean binds automatically, notation, or a name 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.

Finite angular cylinder covers below the half-area bound

Theorem

The tetrahedron (eq:tetrahedron) has A_{\min}(K)=\sqrt2. For every 0<\eps\le1/2000, it admits a covering by m=2\lceil2/\eps^2\rceil cylinders with compact triangular perpendicular bases such that

\frac1{\sqrt2}\sum_{i=1}^m|B_i| =\frac12-\frac{13}{6000}\eps^2+O(\eps^4).

The remainder has absolute value at most 2\eps^4, and the total base area is strictly less than A_{\min}(K)/2.

Finite cylinder approximation of ruled sets

Proposition (Perpendicular base area)

Let h>0, let T\subset\R^2 be bounded and measurable, and let g\in\R^2. The image F_h(\Cyl(T,g)) is a cylinder whose perpendicular base has area h|T|J_h(g). A compact nondegenerate parallelogram tile has a compact nondegenerate parallelogram base. An open tile gives an open base. The formula is unchanged after a Euclidean isometry.

Theorem (Finite approximation by square tiles)

Let D\subset\R^2 be compact, let V be C^1 on an open neighborhood of D, and let L,h>0. Suppose that

\tr DV(p)=0,\qquad -L^{-2}<\det DV(p)\le0 \quad(p\in D).

For every \varepsilon>0, there are finitely many compact nondegenerate square tiles T_i\subset\R^2, with possibly different orientations, and velocities g_i\in\R^2 such that

E(D,V,L)\subset\bigcup_i\Cyl(T_i,g_i),\qquad \sum_i |T_i|J_h(g_i) \le\int_D J_h(V(p))\,dp+\varepsilon.

Under F_h, the perpendicular bases are compact nondegenerate parallelograms and have total area h\sum_i|T_i|J_h(g_i). No condition on the area of \partial D or smallness of \|DV\| is required.

Finite triangular approximation of radial sweeps

Theorem

For the data in (eq:radial-sweep), suppose that

w'(t)=\lambda(t)(a+tb)\qquad(t\in J)

for a continuous real function \lambda. For any finite partition \alpha=t_0<t_1<\cdots<t_N=\beta, put I_i=[t_{i-1},t_i] and choose arbitrary tags c_i\in I_i. There are N cylinders covering \mathcal S, with axes parallel to e+w(c_i) and nondegenerate compact triangular perpendicular bases. These covers can be chosen so that their total base area tends to \mathcal A as the mesh \delta=\max_i|I_i| tends to zero, uniformly over the partitions and tags.

Alternatively, take each base to be the perpendicular projection of the actual compact sweep with t\in I_i, in the same frozen direction e+w(c_i). These N cylinders cover \mathcal S, and their total base area also tends to \mathcal A, uniformly over the partitions and tags.

Theorem

For the data in (eq:radial-sweep), suppose that

for a continuous real function \lambda. For any finite partition \alpha=t_0<t_1<\cdots<t_N=\beta, put I_i=[t_{i-1},t_i] and choose arbitrary tags c_i\in I_i. There are N cylinders covering \mathcal S, with axes parallel to e+w(c_i) and nondegenerate compact triangular perpendicular bases. These covers can be chosen so that their total base area tends to \mathcal A as the mesh \delta=\max_i|I_i| tends to zero, uniformly over the partitions and tags.

Alternatively, take each base to be the perpendicular projection of the actual compact sweep with t\in I_i, in the same frozen direction e+w(c_i). These N cylinders cover \mathcal S, and their total base area also tends to \mathcal A, uniformly over the partitions and tags.
