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.

For every base k at least 2, Lean checks the arithmetic reduction, exact nonmultiple-residue coordinates, unconditional canonical spanning, and exact rank k^e+1 conditional on canonical-family linear independence.

## #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.

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”.
