OpenAI claim summary for Math-360

Least quadratic nonresidue modulo a prime

OpenAI's claim

OpenAI presents the following claims relevant to this question, with manuscript numbers following paper order in Sources. In manuscript 1 (family 003; 2026-09-30), the asserted result is that zeta, Dirichlet $L$-functions, and finite-order Hecke $L$-functions for $\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-3})$ have no zeros with real part greater than $7/8$, with poles excluded.

Mathematical statement of the claimed result

Manuscript 1.

For every finite-order Hecke character of $F=\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-3})$, every Dirichlet character and the zeta function, the principal claim is \[ \operatorname{Re}s>7/8\quad\Longrightarrow\quad L(s)\ne0, \] where a principal character's pole at $s=1$ is allowed. The weaker displayed $11/12$ theorem follows within this scope. The cited arithmetic consequence gives absolute $A,C>0$ such that every odd prime $p$ has least positive quadratic nonresidue \[ n(p)\le C(\log p)^A. \] Thus $n(p)\ll_{\delta} p^{\delta}$ for each fixed $\delta>0$. Given binary $p$ and $a\in\mathbb F_p$, a deterministic algorithm of time polynomial in $\log p$ is further claimed to return a square root of $a$ or correctly declare it nonexistent. The half-plane assertion leaves zeros between the critical line and $7/8$ untreated.

Outline of the argument

For manuscript 1 (family 003; 2026-09-30), smoothed character sums are estimated in two ways: directly by large-sieve and recursive moment bounds, and through a Mellin transform involving the reciprocal of an $L$-function. Poisson summation and sextic residue characters align the two expressions so that their savings force continuation of the reciprocal.

Formal verification

For manuscript 1 (family 003; 2026-09-30), OpenAI lists Lean statements for this assertion: zeta, Dirichlet $L$-functions, and finite-order Hecke $L$-functions for $\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-3})$ have no zeros with real part greater than $7/8$, with poles excluded.

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.
