AI-generated proof claimed for a positive proportion of numbers returning to 1 under Collatz
A post says Lech Mazur claimed the proof on September 6 and that it was formalized in Lean. The poster says he had AI check the formalization and thinks it is right, but is still working through the math.
TLDR
A September 28 post says Lech Mazur claimed an AI-generated, Lean-formalized proof that a positive proportion of numbers return to 1 under Collatz. The poster says he had AI examine the Lean and thinks it is right, though he is still trying to understand the math. He also says Naoufal El Jaouhari told him his AI had formalized the same proof for 3x-1, building on Mazur’s work.
