Overview

The pinned public source states full Sendov and Phelps–Rodriguez endpoints and reports only the standard Lean logical axioms for their proofs.

Public formal source; build and independent mathematical review are separate checks.

Research activity

Discovery, exposition and formalization

Mazur and GPT-5.6 Pro supplied the original result; Tao digested its mathematics and directed the second formalization, whose project credits Claude Opus 5.

Two formalizations of a descended argument do not automatically constitute two independent mathematical proofs.

AI involvement reported by the source

The project reports Claude Opus 5 wrote essentially all Lean source under the author’s direction and review; this is a second formalization of the same mathematical argument.

Versions

OpenMath source records preserve exact citations. Observation dates order these records; they do not establish the latest upstream paper or proof.
