MathForm: Scaling Mathematical Autoformalization with Knowledge Retrieval and Verification-Guided Refinement

Lushi Pu, Weiming Zhang, Xinheng Xie et al.

Autoformalization is commonly framed as translating natural-language mathematical statements into machine-verifiable formal languages such as Lean 4. However, faithful formalization requires more than translation. Models must map mathematical concepts to th...

Vero: Can AI Agents Build Formally Verified Software Repositories?

Zhe Ye, Hantao Lou, Yuechun Sun et al.

AI agents are increasingly used for programming, but do not provide any guarantee on the correctness of generated code. Verified code generation, in which an agent produces both an implementation and a machine-checked proof of its specification, offers a st...

On Ishiki's Conjecture: $\mathrm{Met}(D)$ Is Not Completely Metrizable for $\lvert D\rvert=\aleph_1$

Tomoki Uda

For a discrete topological space $D$, let $\mathrm{Met}(D)$ denote the set of metrics on $D$ that are compatible with the discrete topology, equipped with the topology induced by the supremum distance. Ishiki's Conjecture 5.1 asserts that $\mathrm{Met}(D)$...

FormaTheoria: Constructing Large-Scale Lean Theories from Mathematical Literature $-$ Toward the Formalization of the Classification of Finite Simple Groups

Tianjiao Nie, Ao Zhang, Yusen Tang et al.

Large-scale formalization of advanced mathematics requires more than translating individual statements: it must reconstruct a coherent theory distributed across heterogeneous sources. This process raises four challenges: discovering implicit dependencies, c...

Audience capture, selective exposure, affective assimilation or ideological sorting? Polarisation of climate politics under low media-party parallelism

Arttu Malkamäki, Antti Gronow

Studies often attribute the polarisation of climate politics in majoritarian democracies to differing treatment of climate change by conservative and liberal media. How then does such polarisation occur in a system, where mainstream media do not systematica...

The transversal achievement game on a square grid

Kevin Guan

In the transversal achievement game on the $n\times n$ board, two players alternately claim cells, and the first to own a transversal---a set of $n$ cells of which no two share a row or column---wins. Ranđelović showed that the first player wins for every $...
