  1. 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.

  17. 🚨 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.

  22. MOSS Season 2 continues next week.

    🎙️ Benjamin Wesolowski (CNRS & ENS Lyon, France)

    Talk title: Random walks in number-theoretic cryptology

    🗓️ Thursday, 7 May 2026 • 🕓 4:00 PM CEST • Online

    Abstract: Cryptography met number theory in 1976, when Diffie and Hellman achieved what had long been considered impossible: a protocol for two people to exchange secret information on a public channel, even if they had never met before to establish some kind of password, a pre-shared key. Diffie and Hellman designed the protocol such that a spy attempting to find the secret would need to solve a presumably hard computational problem: the discrete logarithm problem in the multiplicative group of a finite field.

    Since then, number theory has consistently met the challenges of cryptography, offering a variety of difficult algorithmic problems and powerful tools for their analysis. In this talk, we will explore this “mathematical cryptology”, with a focus on euclidean lattices (designed to resist against quantum computers), the use of random walks, and how spectral methods in number theory apply to cryptology.
