Arithmetic Stein-degree bounds for log Calabi–Yau pairs

OpenAI

For each dimension d and t>0, the manuscript claims a bound N(d,t) on [k_S:k] for a boundary prime S with coefficient at least t on an ordinary projective log-canonical Q-pair (X,B) over a characteristic-zero field, where X is normal integral, H⁰(X,O_X)=k, B is effective and K_X+B is Q-linearly trivial.

Sources for this record

What was already known

Birkar–Qu established a geometric bound over algebraically closed fields. Birkar’s broader conjecture includes relative fibrations and generalized pairs.

AI involvement AI-led

OpenAI credits an internal model with the manuscript and proof. No named human proof checker or explanation is documented.

The cited release credits an internal OpenAI model with producing the result and the manuscript credits OpenAI as author; the record does not establish model autonomy from task selection or human direction.

Importance Notable

The arithmetic constants-field bound advances the contraction-to-a-point case.

Limitations

This does not settle the relative fibration or generalized-pair conjecture. No completed check of the arithmetic orbit and vertical-boundary induction is documented.

Technical verification Reported

The cited paper gives a proof but no completed human proof check, Lean build or exact certificate check is documented. Reading the statement against the conjecture is a scope comparison, not a technical proof check.

Human understanding Few

No named person explains the central argument in the reviewed sources. Few is the evidence default, not a finding that people cannot understand it.
