CausalForge: A Formally Grounded, Self-Improving Agentic Framework for Automated Research in Causal Inference

Jiyuan Tan, Vasilis Syrgkanis

Automating theoretical research is constrained not only by the generation of candidate results, but also by their reliable evaluation. A common approach is to close the research loop with a large language model (LLM) reviewer. However, such reviewers remain...

When Can Depth Replace Precision? A Resource Theory of Quantized Neural Computation

Mojtaba Soltanalian

When can additional low-bit residual computation replace missing numerical precision for a fixed input-output map? We model a quantized residual system over a fixed horizon as a pure schedule selecting fields from a declared low-bit operation library, and u...

Benchmarking Agents for Proving Theorems in Quantum Algorithms and Quantum Information

Lei Zhang, Yusheng Zhao, Yimeng Cao et al.

Formal verification is becoming increasingly practical for quantum computing, yet the ability of AI agents to construct machine-checkable proofs in this domain remains unmeasured. We introduce Lean-QuantumAlg-Bench and Lean-QIT-Bench, two Lean 4 benchmarks...

Machine-Checked Certificates for the Geometric Half of the Minimum Kochen-Specker Bound

Shayaan Siddique, Ibrahim Mian

The best known lower bound for the minimum Kochen-Specker vector system in $\mathbb{R}^3$ -- 24 vectors -- rests on a computational proof whose combinatorial half emits DRAT proofs but whose geometric half does not: the non-embeddability of thousands of can...

Kuldeep S. Meel, N. V. Vinodchandran, Sourav Chakraborty

We study estimating the size of the union of sets $S_1,\dots,S_M$, where each $S_i\subseteqΩ$ is presented implicitly and arrives in a stream. We introduce Delphic sets, a class of streaming problems in which membership, sampling, and counting queries to ea...

Kernel-Checked Exclusions for the Erdős-Selfridge Odd Covering Problem: Any Odd Covering of $\mathbb{Z}$ Has lcm Exceeding 10000

The Erdős-Selfridge odd covering problem (Erdős problem #7) asks whether a covering system of $\mathbb{Z}$ exists whose moduli are all odd, distinct, and greater than 1. The problem is open. We present a Lean 4 formalization, checked end to end by the proof...
