The Method Matters More Than the Number: A Proposed Improvement to the Guth–Maynard Bound 30/13
The interest in lowering the coefficient to 24000/10451 ≈ 2.29643 lies mainly in the technique. The method aims to preserve relationships between oscillating terms, including how they can cancel, as sums are transformed. Bounding terms by their sizes alone can erase that information and weaken the estimates. Preserving it might help with other problems in number theory and harmonic analysis that share similar structures. That potential remains to be explored; the paper’s result is still pending verification.
The entire process was interactive and iterative: hundreds of exchanges with a frontier model, without a single autonomous agent, without using the API, and with zero client-side automation. My local computing resources were ordinary home equipment. I proposed, questioned and redirected each step. I believe this continuous involvement was essential to bring human creativity into the process and guide the model’s reasoning. Many conversations bordered on the absurd, the unfamiliar or the unorthodox. For me, that is where the human–machine “magic” emerged.
The manuscript is currently almost indigestible for a human reader: it contains failed attempts, detours and corrections. I estimate that the proof’s chain of arguments could fit into a dozen pages, out of the current 172. That distillation, and of course, formal proof, have yet to be done. Finally, math community help will ease human learning.
Apologies for the AI-generated image: it may contain errors.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨
Number theorist Zhi-Wei Sun, with AI assistance, has published a paper on arXiv claiming to prove that Catalan’s constant is irrational.
If the result holds up to scrutiny, this would be a major breakthrough in number theory. The irrationality/transcendence of Catalan’s constant has long been an important open problem.

I've always found it cool that if you double the smaller acute angle in a 3-4-5 triangle you get the larger acute angle in a 7-24-25 right triangle. You can see this as a consequence of the double angle formula for sine. If \( \alpha \) is the smaller acute angle in a 3-4-5 triangle, then
\[ \sin (2\alpha) = 2\sin\alpha\cos\alpha=2\frac{3}{5}\frac{4}{5}=\frac{24}{25}\]
In fact, if the sine and cosine of an angle are both rational, then so will be the sine and cosine of twice that angle. This gives a way to turn Pythagorean triples into new Pythagorean triples!
For example, suppose \( \alpha \) is an acute angle in a right triangle with \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \). Then
\[ \sin 2\alpha = \frac{2ab}{c^2} \]
\[ \cos 2 \alpha = \frac{a^2-b^2}{c^2} \]By the Pythagorean identity
\[ \left(\frac{2ab}{c^2} \right)^2 + \left(\frac{a^2-b^2}{c^2} \right)^2 = 1\]
And so
\[ \left(2ab \right)^2 + \left(a^2-b^2 \right)^2 = \left(c^2\right)^2\]
which of course also follows directly from algebra.For example, using this process
\[ (3,4,5) \mapsto (7,24,25) \mapsto(336,527,625)\]

I don’t know a lot about #EllipticCurves but the big news in this field is that Noam Elkies (Harvard) and Zev Klagsbrun (UC Irvine) have discovered an elliptic curve over ℚ that has a rank of at least 29!
https://web.math.pmf.unizg.hr/~duje/tors/rankhist.html
The previous record (rank 28) was set by Elkies back in 2006. The *exact* rank of this rank-29 curve is unknown but Elkies and Klagsbrun had set the record for a curve with an exact rank of 20 back in 2020.

When Thomas Oliver and Kyu-Hwan Lee used machine learning techniques to predict the ranks of elliptic curves with high accuracy, they noticed hidden oscillations reminiscent of bird murmurations. That pattern was not noticed by mathematicians before, and an explicit formula for those was found by Nina Zubrilina.
