Does the Proof Prove It That Way? Faithful Formalization of Elements Proofs

Tadd Mao, Tianjun Zhong, Dhruva Arekar et al.

In formal verification, both the autoformalization of statements and automated proof search have been studied extensively. While automated proof search can produce a formal proof that compiles, the generated proof does not necessarily reflect how the natura...

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...

Bounds on the real tensor rank of octonion multiplication

Hardik Jain

The tensor rank of a bilinear map is the least number of multiplications any bilinear algorithm needs to compute it; for the multiplication of an algebra it measures how cheaply the algebra can be multiplied at all. For the even-dimensional real normed divi...

Pricing the Risk of Runtime Compression: Anytime-Valid Admission and a Served-Output Law for Compressed Serving State

Fanzhe Wei, Li Liu

Runtime compression of serving state trades quality for capacity with no priced guarantee: systems adapt precision on load signals with no soundness statement, and certified approaches budget request-level risk by a union bound over a pre-declared event cou...

Absorption cutoff and stationary singularities for rounded Gaussian random dynamical systems

Benny Avelin

We study Gaussian random dynamical systems with coordinatewise $\tanh$ nonlinearity, where finite precision is modeled by nearest-grid rounding after each step. Gaussian symmetry reduces the dynamics to an exact Markov chain for the normalized squared radiu...

The Physical Cutoff Does Not Restore Homogenization: Phase-Dependent Burning in the Strain G-Equation

Michele Caprio

We disprove the expectation stated by Xin, Yu, and Ronney that the physical positive part strain $G$-equation should possess an effective burning velocity in cellular flows. For the standard cellular flow in dimension two $V_A(x_1,x_2)=A(-\sin x_1\cos x_2,\...

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 $...
