What was already known
Lieb established bounds linear in total charge, and later fermionic atomic estimates proved asymptotic neutrality and quantitative sublinear excess bounds. A universal additive bound per nucleus for the full correlated Coulomb model remained open.
AI involvement
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
Resolves the strict-binding excess-charge form of the molecular ionization conjecture.
Limitations
The result bounds strictly binding sectors and does not exclude threshold ground states. The linked Lean note instead checks companion large-ionization and outer-electron-radius asymptotics.
Technical verification
Reported is the default when evidence for a higher level is insufficient. The OpenAI-authored manuscript reports and argues the result, but the reviewed sources do not document a completed check of the full assessed claim.
Human understanding
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.
Correction and publication history
Primary manuscript, attribution, prior-work, and scoped checking review for non-notifying local inclusion.
