OpenAI reports combinatorial invariance of Kazhdan–Lusztig polynomials

Every order isomorphism between Bruhat intervals in arbitrary Coxeter systems preserves the corresponding equal-parameter Kazhdan–Lusztig polynomial.

Sources for this record

What was already known

Lusztig and Dyer’s conjecture asked whether the interval order alone determines these polynomials. Prior reconstructions supplied directed Bruhat graphs and results for restricted principal intervals, but not the full conjecture.

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

Resolves the full combinatorial-invariance conjecture across Coxeter systems.

Limitations

The claim concerns equal-parameter Kazhdan–Lusztig polynomials; it does not assert analogous invariance for unequal parameters.

Technical verification Formal (Lean 4)

OpenAI reports a Lean proof matching the selected claim.

Formal checking

The pinned OpenAI Lean scope note identifies this selected claim.

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.
