OpenAI announces that its internal AI disproved the exponential time hypothesis and gave a proof of the all-dimensional local smoothing conjecture

OpenAI改写人类科学史!「王的猜想」全维度告破,30年铁律ETH塌了

AI summary

OpenAI announced that its internal AI independently completed three scientific discoveries: giving a proof of the local smoothing conjecture in all dimensions, disproving the exponential time hypothesis (ETH), and giving an existence proof for four-dimensional QCD and pure Yang-Mills theory; the results are being reviewed by external experts. The local smoothing conjecture is regarded as the mother conjecture of the Kakeya conjecture; on ETH, a 67-page manuscript proposes an algorithm for solving 3-SAT in subexponential time, and OpenAI explicitly states that refuting ETH is not equivalent to proving P=NP; the hypothesis's proposers Impagliazzo, Paturi and Ryan Williams participated in the review. The physics working group is led by Nobel laureate David Gross; the model gave an existence proof for Yang-Mills and QCD in September, and the positive mass gap required by the Millennium Prize problem has not been announced as solved.

Why it was selected

All three manuscripts await review by external experts; OpenAI's arrangement of not seeking authorship and funding independent verification by academia can serve as a reference for observing AI scientific research collaboration.
