Not evaluated
Boltzmann nonuniqueness with exact local conservation (family 363)
The gist
In its release of October 6, 2026, OpenAI presents two manuscripts on nonuniqueness for the hard-sphere Boltzmann equation, one in a periodic version, the other with local conservation.
DiscoverIA status on October 12, 2026: not evaluated, meaning no third-party evaluation found.

What it changes
If the manuscripts held, they would show a nonuniqueness result for the hard-sphere Boltzmann equation. This equation describes the evolution of a dilute gas whose particles collide like small rigid balls.
What remains unclear
The Lean (a language in which a computer checks every step of a proof) was supplied by OpenAI itself, and its tracking file marks it “unchecked”. No third-party verification is recorded. Only one Lean statement is supplied, and the sources read do not say whether it covers one of the two manuscripts or both.

Method
The openai/math repository holds “Nonuniqueness for the periodic hard-sphere Boltzmann equation”, dated September 23, 2026. It also holds “Nonuniqueness with local conservation for the hard-sphere Boltzmann equation”, dated October 5, 2026. The file lean/docs/363.md describes the Lean formalisation, with one Comparator statement: lean/ComparatorChallenges/BoltzmannNonuniqueness.lean. In formalization.yaml the family is not among the listed sources; history.md reports no revision of these manuscripts. 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.
