Not evaluated
The Laughlin gap and stability under scalar disorder (family 269)
The gist
In its release of October 6, 2026, OpenAI claims, using an unreleased internal model, uniform stability of the spherical Laughlin spectral gap.
DiscoverIA status on October 12, 2026: not evaluated, meaning no third-party evaluation found.

What it changes
If the result held, the Laughlin spectral gap would remain stable under scalar disorder, according to the title of the family. A spectral gap is the difference between the lowest energy level of a system and the next one.
What remains unclear
The Lean (a language in which a computer checks every step of a proof) was supplied by OpenAI itself, and its formalization.yaml file marks it “unchecked”. No third-party verification is recorded.

Method
The openai/math repository contains 2 manuscripts: “Uniform Stability of the Spherical Laughlin Gap” (October 5, 2026) and “A Fock-space inequality and the Laughlin spectral gap” (September 24, 2026). The file lean/docs/269.md describes the Lean formalisation, with 4 Comparator statements (4 files under lean/ComparatorChallenges/). The family is present in the `sources` of formalization.yaml; history.md reports no revision. DiscoverIA status: not evaluated, meaning that no third-party evaluation has been found in the sources read. Set on October 12, 2026 from github.com (page read, quotation checked word for word: “describes the scope of the Lean formalization”).
Limits
No named third party: the recorded checks come from the claimant or from a platform tool. The claimant supplies a Lean proof; as of this date, DiscoverIA has found no independent verification of this proof or of the result.
