Summary of a claim published in openai/math; not a claim by this platform.
Rational undecidability can be interpreted in central quaternion or matrix variables. The bundle also includes integral-order equations, and those are not resolved merely by the rational-polynomial reduction.
Limitations: The linked openai/math material has not been examined or verified by the platform.

OpenAI's claim
OpenAI presents the following claims relevant to this question, with manuscript numbers following paper order in Sources. In manuscript 1 (family 004; 2026-09-24), the asserted result is that rational solvability of integer-coefficient polynomials with an unrestricted number of variables is undecidable.Mathematical statement of the claimed result
Manuscript 1.
With $n$ variable and integral polynomial coefficients explicitly encoded, the rational Diophantine decision claim is \[ \{f\in\mathbb Z[X_1,\ldots,X_n]:\exists x\in\mathbb Q^n,\ f(x)=0\} \quad\text{is undecidable}. \] There is no algorithm giving the correct yes/no answer for every such input; the coefficient ring is $\mathbb Z$, but sought solutions lie in $\mathbb Q$.Outline of the argument
For manuscript 1 (family 004; 2026-09-24), integer solvability is represented by an effective sequence of finite rational tests. Elliptic indices, odd valuation contacts, and a height argument force an ordinary integer witness when every test succeeds; a hypothetical rational decision procedure would then decide the integer problem by two concurrent searches.Formal verification
No Lean formalization is listed at this snapshot for manuscript 1 (family 004; 2026-09-24).This site has not executed the Lean code. Described statement coverage is not an independent proof check.
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
