OpenAI reports a higher-codimension Riesz-transform criterion for rectifiability

For d≥4 and 2≤n≤d−2, an n-Ahlfors–David regular measure in Rᵈ with uniformly L²-bounded positive hard truncations of its n-dimensional Riesz transform is uniformly n-rectifiable.

What was already known

The codimension-one implication had been proved, while the remaining higher-codimension case of the David–Semmes Riesz-transform question lacked that conclusion; a stronger variation-operator hypothesis was previously known to imply rectifiability.

AI involvement AI-led

OpenAI credits itself as manuscript author and states that its internal frontier model produced the results in this release. Individual human input is not detailed enough to establish task-only autonomy.

OpenAI is named as author on the manuscript, and its release attributes the results to an internal frontier model. The individual human input is not detailed enough to establish autonomy.

Importance Major

Settles the remaining higher-codimension range of the David–Semmes Riesz-transform criterion.

Limitations

The result needs Ahlfors–David regularity and a uniform L² bound over all positive hard truncations. Variation and principal-value corollaries are outside the selected Lean scope.

Technical verification Formal (Lean 4)

OpenAI reports a Lean proof matching the selected claim.

Formal checking

The pinned Lean note gives quantitative big pieces of Lipschitz images from the stated uniform Riesz-transform bound, including for unbounded support.

Checking a formal statement does not establish that it matches the original problem.

Human understanding Few

Few is the default when evidence for a higher level is insufficient. No named person is documented as explaining the central argument for this assessed contribution.
