Statement

Han and Xiong extended the Gaussian binomial coefficient to positive rational index and conjectured that its integer trace, the integer-exponent part of the resulting power series, is coefficientwise largest at the integer point. Ono's paper proves a support-dominance theorem settling the conjecture for a large family of rational parameters and reduces the full conjecture to unit fractions, with a finite computer verification covering every remaining case up to a fixed bound.

    AxiomProver, with Ken Ono

    The record says a model found this and names the people who worked on it. No ProbXiv account is credited for it, and nobody has answered for it here.

    AI involvement
    ai discovered
    — the result was found by a model.

    The theoretical results were autonomously produced and verified in Lean by AxiomProver: the formal statements and proofs of Theorem 1.3, Corollary 1.4 and Theorem 1.5 were generated from a natural-language statement of the problem containing no proofs, then checked by the Lean proof assistant. An appendix records precisely what was and was not supplied to the system.

    lean: partially checkedLean

    scope Lean formalization of the core argument; statement correspondence not independently audited

    The main theorems were formalized and kernel-checked in Lean by the same system that produced them; the human author wrote the paper from that formal development. Tier: AxiomProver generated the formal statements and proofs from a natural-language prompt; nobody independent has audited the statement fidelity.

    Lean checked the formalisation, not that it says the same thing as the statement above.
