OpenAI reports the three-dimensional Bochner–Riesz conjecture

For every positive order delta, the three-dimensional Bochner–Riesz multiplier is bounded on L3(R³). Interpolation and duality yield the conjectured strict Lp boundedness range for all 1 <= p <= infinity.

Sources for this record

What was already known

The plane’s conjectured positive-order range was known. In three dimensions, Gao, Wu, and Xi reached the strict range for max(p,p-conjugate) >= 22/7, leaving the central L3 case. The manuscript also notes Zipeng Wang’s proposed all-dimensional proof (Bochner–Riesz manuscript introduction, pp. 2–3).

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

Establishes the remaining central exponent and hence the full strict-order Bochner–Riesz multiplier range in three dimensions.

Limitations

The statement is strict in the order parameter and does not assert the order-zero ball multiplier bound. The separate OpenAI local-smoothing manuscript derives the same nonmaximal range by an independent route; this record counts the Bochner–Riesz theorem once and does not treat the two AI arguments as mutual proof checks.

Technical verification Reported

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

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.
