Summary of a claim published in openai/math; not a claim by this platform.
The binary Elliott conclusion assumes unit-disc multiplicative functions and nonpretentiousness uniform over the growing frequency range. This record permits unbounded factors or only pointwise twist divergence, and also includes higher-order correlations. Those hypotheses and extra factors are outside the claimed theorem.
Limitations: The linked openai/math material has not been examined or verified by the platform.

Correlation cancellation for multiplicative functions
OpenAI's claim
OpenAI presents the following claims relevant to this question, with manuscript numbers following paper order in Sources. In manuscript 1 (family 007; 2026-09-24), the asserted result is that ordinary two-point Liouville averages have a logarithmic power saving on fixed nonproportional affine forms, and bounded multiplicative functions satisfy the corrected binary Elliott assertion under uniform nonpretentiousness.Mathematical statement of the claimed result
Manuscript 1.
For Liouville $\lambda(n)=(-1)^{\Omega(n)}$, there is claimed an absolute $c>0$ such that every fixed $a_1,a_2\ge1$, $b_1,b_2\ge0$ with $a_1b_2-a_2b_1\ne0$ has a constant $C$ satisfying \[ |\sum_{n\le X}\lambda(a_1n+b_1)\lambda(a_2n+b_2)|\le C X/(\log X)^c\quad(X\ge3). \] The coefficients need not be coprime, but are fixed as $X$ grows. A second claim concerns multiplicative $f_1,f_2:\mathbb N\to\{z:|z|\le1\}$, at least one satisfying, for every fixed Dirichlet character $\chi$, \[ \inf_{|t|\le N}\left(\sum_{p\le N}\frac{1-\operatorname{Re}(f(p)\overline{\chi(p)p^{it}})}p\right)^{1/2}\longrightarrow\infty. \] For any distinct fixed nonnegative $h_1,h_2$ the claimed ordinary, rather than logarithmically weighted, conclusion is \[ N^{-1}\sum_{n=1}^Nf_1(n+h_1)f_2(n+h_2)\longrightarrow0. \]Outline of the argument
For manuscript 1 (family 007; 2026-09-24), centering decomposes the correlation into graph and rough-number contributions. Short-interval cancellation controls a Fourier multiplier, while a conditioned finite-cylinder sieve extracts enough graph constraints to contradict a persistent bias.Formal verification
For manuscript 1 (family 007; 2026-09-24), OpenAI lists Lean statements for this assertion: ordinary two-point Liouville averages have a logarithmic power saving on fixed nonproportional affine forms, and bounded multiplicative functions satisfy the corrected binary Elliott assertion under uniform nonpretentiousness.This coverage does not establish a formal proof of the complete problem as stated here.

Status caveat
The manuscripts were produced by an internal OpenAI model. OpenAI cautions that results without formalization can contain mistakes. This site has not independently checked the proofs; the label records the scope of OpenAI's claim.Sources
