Coverage & review

Coverage of this curation

The canonical statement, selected results and public proof evidence, with historical and contribution context.

Formal proofs: Public Lean evidence covers a 246 deduction from Bombieri–Vinogradov and a 186 deduction from three input axioms. The 212 paper reports a separate certificate with analytic and variational hypotheses; its exact public source revision was not identified. No OpenMath build is recorded.

AI-assisted work: The 212 mathematical paper credits nine authors and builds on Julia Stadlmann. AxiomProver is credited for its formal certificate, not independently discovering that bound.
