Prime predecessors with even squarefree factor count

OpenAI's claim

OpenAI presents the following claims relevant to this question, with manuscript numbers following paper order in Sources. In manuscript 1 (family 011; 2026-09-17), the asserted result is that infinitely many prime predecessors are squarefree with an even number of prime factors, equivalently $\mu(p-1)=1$.

Mathematical statement of the claimed result

Manuscript 1.
If $\Omega(n)$ counts prime factors with multiplicity, the asserted infinitude is \[ |\{p\text{ prime}:p-1\text{ squarefree},\ \Omega(p-1)\equiv0\pmod2\}|=\infty. \] Squarefreeness makes the same parity statement hold when prime factors are counted without multiplicity.

Outline of the argument

For manuscript 1 (family 011; 2026-09-17), the shifted-correlation framework is extended to a long factor that is itself prime and carries a common parity sign at both endpoints. Major-arc endpoint estimates, rough weights, and squarefree sieving then extract prime predecessors with the required sign.

Formal verification

No Lean formalization is listed at this snapshot for manuscript 1 (family 011; 2026-09-17).

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.
