Not evaluated
Nonattainment in three-marginal Coulomb transport (family 373)
The gist
In its release of October 6, 2026, OpenAI presents a manuscript on a counterexample to the Monge ansatz for the three-marginal Coulomb cost.
DiscoverIA status on October 12, 2026: not evaluated, meaning no third-party evaluation found.

What it changes
If the manuscript held, the Monge ansatz (a form of solution assumed in advance) would fail, in at least one case, for the three-marginal Coulomb cost. The field is partial differential equations, according to the sources read.
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. The family title speaks of “Nonattainment in three-marginal Coulomb transport”; the sources read do not explain how it relates to the counterexample.

Method
The openai/math repository holds the manuscript “A counterexample to the Monge ansatz for the three-marginal Coulomb cost”, dated September 25, 2026. The file lean/docs/373.md describes the Lean formalisation, with one Comparator statement: lean/ComparatorChallenges/CoulombCounterexample.lean. In formalization.yaml the family is not among the listed sources; 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.
