Key points
- Lemma hallucinations: Sometimes the agent claimed that a false lemma was a well-known result in the literature. Because the agent did not attempt to formally prove that specific lemma, the error was only discovered late in the process.
- Formalization as a filter: A formal proof assistant provides ground truth that makes AI-generated mathematics useful to researchers. It removes the need for humans to check basic logical errors.
- AI for strategy discovery: AI can help mathematicians by proposing high-level plans or identifying candidate counterexamples that humans might miss.
