Not evaluated
The hot spots conjecture for simply connected planar domains (family 369)
The gist
In its release of October 6, 2026, OpenAI presents a manuscript on the hot spots conjecture for smooth simply connected planar domains.
DiscoverIA status on October 12, 2026: not evaluated, meaning no third-party evaluation found.
AI draft, not reviewedWhat has not been reviewed?

What it changes
If this manuscript were correct, it would show, for these domains, a “strict hot spots” property and the absence of interior critical points. A simply connected planar domain is a planar domain without holes.
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, and the sources read do not give the exact statement of the result.

Method
The openai/math repository contains the manuscript “Strict hot spots and absence of interior critical points on smooth simply connected planar domains”, dated September 24, 2026. The file lean/docs/369.md describes the Lean formalisation, with one Comparator statement (lean/ComparatorChallenges/HotSpots.lean). The family is absent from the “sources” of formalization.yaml; history.md reports no revision of this manuscript. 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.
