Lean statement

Finite cylinder approximation for the selected ruled families

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.RuledApproximation.fullMain

Lean statement file: RuledCovering.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.

def FullMain : Prop :=  HyperbolicStatement ∧ PhysicalHyperbolicStatement ∧ LogarithmicStatement ∧  ProductCellStatement ∧ OrthogonalGridStatement ∧ NilpotentStatement ∧ SingularStatementtheorem fullMain : FullMain := 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.

No confident match with a paper statement

No paper theorem is paired with this Lean statement.

Why none: no paper statement matches the Lean text clearly enough to pair, so the closest candidates are listed below.

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

Other possible paper matches, closest wording first

  • Corollary 4.4 of Finite cylinder approximation of ruled sets. Words of the Lean statement, its names split into words, that also appear in the theorem: coordinates, logarithmic, rectangle, det, cells, real and ten more. Shared only with the release’s name for the Lean statement or OpenAI’s note on it: approximation and perpendicular.
  • Theorem 4.1 of Finite cylinder approximation of ruled sets. Words of the Lean statement, its names split into words, that also appear in the theorem: product, eigenvalues, neighborhood, cells, real, measurable and seven more. Shared only with the release’s name for the Lean statement or OpenAI’s note on it: approximation and perpendicular.
  • Theorem 5.1 of Slope-field perturbations of the two-cylinder covering. Words of the Lean statement, its names split into words, that also appear in the theorem: asymptotic, gamma, kappa, regular, edge, two and 13 more. Shared only with the release’s name for the Lean statement or OpenAI’s note on it: needed, errors, positive, approximations and perpendicular.
  • Theorem 1.1 of Slope-field perturbations of the two-cylinder covering. Words of the Lean statement, its names split into words, that also appear in the theorem: regular, edge, measurable, parallelogram, bounded, tetrahedron and five more. Found in the paper’s title, which its main theorem states: field and two. Shared only with the release’s name for the Lean statement or OpenAI’s note on it: positive and perpendicular.
  • Theorem 1.2 of Finite cylinder approximation of ruled sets. Words of the Lean statement, its names split into words, that also appear in the theorem: square, det, neighborhood, parallelograms, finite, area and one more. Shared only with the release’s name for the Lean statement or OpenAI’s note on it: condition, approximation and perpendicular.

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.

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

Neal McBurnett’s openai-math-lean-tooling

How they ran it, in their words

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).

  • Accepted Their term: “accepted”.

    Re-run through Comparator with Lean’s kernel: accepted (the check took 471 s; peak memory 6.4 GiB).

    Reported 11 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 formalization approximates compact ruled families of line segments by finite cylinder covers with perpendicular-base area at most the integral projection cost plus any prescribed positive error. The selected results cover the stated $C^1$ hyperbolic differential condition, square-zero and nilpotent cases, physical rescalings, logarithmic and product-cell estimates, and singular cases. Compact label sets need not have regular boundary.”

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.

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.

The tetrahedron \eqref{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
\begin{equation}
 \frac1{\sqrt2}\sum_{i=1}^m|B_i|
 =\frac12-\frac{13}{6000}\eps^2+O(\eps^4).
\end{equation}
The remainder has absolute value at most $2\eps^4$, and the total base
area is strictly less than $A_{\min}(K)/2$.
Corollary

Every nondegenerate tetrahedron T\subset\R^3 admits a finite cylinder covering with compact triangular perpendicular bases for which

\sum_{i=1}^m\frac{|B_i|}{|\pi_{u_i^\perp}T|}<\frac12.

Thus the 1-Codimensional Cylinder Covering Conjecture is false.

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.

Slope-field perturbations of the two-cylinder covering

Theorem

Every regular tetrahedron K\subset\R^3 of positive edge length admits a finite cylinder cover with compact parallelogram perpendicular bases such that

\sum_i|B_i|<\tfrac12 A_{\min}(K), \qquad \sum_i\frac{|B_i|}{|\pi_{u_i^\perp}K|}<\tfrac12.

It also admits finite covers with bounded open measurable bases satisfying both inequalities.

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.
