Plectis verification: eight open Erdős programmes

[!IMPORTANT] Status: All eight public problem programmes remain open. Review posture: Self-assessed and agent-checked; no human mathematical peer review is claimed.

What this is. Plectis is an AI-assisted research system. This public surface shows one checked frontier for each of eight open Erdős problems. For each programme, read the question, the exact checked object, and the remaining open step before opening the technical registry.

How verification works. Nineteen selected propositions are declared again without proofs. Comparator checks that the proof-bearing modules match those independent statements and a fixed axiom budget. A named altered statement must fail. This checks formal propositions only. It does not assess exposition, citations, intended meaning, novelty, or significance. Technical detail is in the Comparator interface appendix.

## #269: Three-prime running least common multiples

Question. For a finite set of at least two primes, is the sum of reciprocals of the running least common multiples of the smooth numbers irrational? This library treats the three-prime case.

Checked frontier. That for three pairwise distinct primes the least common multiple of the smooth prefix equals the product of the three maximal pure prime powers below the cutoff.

Open boundary. Irrationality or transcendence in any three-prime case.

Read. Programme paper · Lean source

Source and priority note

Every two-prime case is settled at transcendence level by a paper argument in the problem note, with Loxton-van der Poorten 1977 (quoted in Bugeaud-Laurent form) as the external engine; the same argument was posted publicly by Steve Fan on the problem’s erdosproblems.com discussion page on 26 June 2026, before the note was finalised, so the note claims no priority. The argument is deliberately not formalised here and no Lean declaration asserts it.

  • Erdos249257.ExternalVerification.volume_supportedMersenneAchievementSet_dichotomy
    • Class. locally proved result; novelty unassessed
    • Statement. A support-restricted Mersenne achievement set has exact finite-complement measure or measure zero for infinite complement.
    • Canonical claim status. comparator_interface_not_registered_as_canonical_claim
    • Novelty. unassessed; no priority claim
    • Boundary. The measure dichotomy does not classify rational points.

#269: Three-prime running least common multiples

  • Erdos249257.ExternalVerification.kernel_235_minor_eq_neg_one_fifteen
    • Class. no-go result
    • Statement. The smallest displayed 2,3,5 kernel minor is exactly -1/15.
    • Canonical claim status. comparator_interface_not_registered_as_canonical_claim
    • Novelty. unassessed; no priority claim
    • Boundary. Failure of rank one does not imply irrationality.
  • Erdos249257.ExternalVerification.smoothPrefixLcm_eq_threePrimeHeight
    • Class. locally proved result; novelty unassessed
    • Statement. The running lcm of the three-prime smooth prefix equals the exact coordinatewise height.
    • Canonical claim status. comparator_interface_not_registered_as_canonical_claim
    • Novelty. unassessed; no priority claim
    • Boundary. The identity does not supply the missing irrationality bridge.

#1041: Short connections inside polynomial lemniscates

  • Erdos249257.ExternalVerification.exists_small_translation_separating_arguments
    • Class. locally proved result; novelty unassessed
    • Statement. An arbitrarily small common translation separates a finite injective family from zero and from shared positive rays.
    • Canonical claim status. comparator_interface_not_registered_as_canonical_claim
    • Novelty. unassessed; no priority claim
    • Boundary. Finite-family avoidance does not provide the global topological or metric gluing.
  • Erdos249257.ExternalVerification.constant_perturbation_roots_in_unitDisk
    • Class. locally proved result; novelty unassessed
    • Statement. A quantified small constant perturbation keeps every polynomial root inside the open unit disc.
    • Canonical claim status. comparator_interface_not_registered_as_canonical_claim
    • Novelty. unassessed; no priority claim
    • Boundary. Root retention is only one input to an incomplete global route.

#1049: Lambert-type series at rational bases

  • Erdos249257.ExternalVerification.threeHalves_no_coordinatewiseCorridor
    • Class. no-go result
    • Statement. The coordinatewise divisibility corridor is impossible at base 3/2.
    • Canonical claim status. comparator_interface_not_registered_as_canonical_claim
    • Novelty. unassessed; no priority claim
    • Boundary. This excludes one proof architecture and proves no irrationality statement.
  • Erdos249257.ExternalVerification.rationalBaseClearedTailQ_succ
    • Class. locally proved result; novelty unassessed
    • Statement. The rational-base cleared tail obeys its exact first-order recurrence.
    • Canonical claim status. comparator_interface_not_registered_as_canonical_claim
    • Novelty. unassessed; no priority claim
    • Boundary. The recurrence is not derived from a rationality contradiction.

Verification contract and replay

Comparator is used only for exact Lean-owned propositions that can be isolated without importing their proofs; paper deductions, cited theorems, and external computations retain their own evidence classes. The main_results key in formalization.yaml is the format’s list of selected executable interfaces. It is not the canonical claim registry and does not make an unregistered declaration a principal result. The 19 exact interfaces cover all eight programmes. Local proof provenance is recorded separately from novelty, which remains unassessed unless a source-fidelity row says otherwise. The trusted challenge contains one proposition-package fixture and imports only ExternalVerification.Statements and Mathlib. The proof-bearing modules occur only in ExternalVerification.Solution. CI runs the pinned real Linux sandbox and uploads a commit-bound JSON receipt. For a reviewer-run Linux check and the immutable release-asset contract, see docs/EXTERNAL_VERIFICATION_REPLAY.md.

Use the precise phrase Comparator-checked against a separately declared statement and axiom budget only when the receipt for the displayed commit is green. Do not replace it with “independently verified”.
