Summary of a claim published in openai/math; not a claim by this platform.
The main theorem settles the one-relator subcase of the first implication, with no extra power/torsion restriction. The record includes arbitrary finite-classifying-space groups and a separate subgroup question. This entry records partial support; complete coverage of the question is not established by this catalogue.
Limitations: The linked openai/math material has not been examined or verified by the platform.

OpenAI's claim
OpenAI presents a mathematical result relevant to this question in the selected manuscript. A finitely generated one-relator group without any nontrivial-parameter Baumslag--Solitar subgroup is claimed hyperbolic.Mathematical statement of the claimed result
Result 1.
Given finite $X$ and $r\in F(X)$, form $G=\langle X\mid r\rangle$. Define \[ \operatorname{BS}(m,n)=\langle a,t\mid ta^mt^{-1}=a^n\rangle \qquad(m,n\in\mathbb Z\setminus\{0\}). \] The source implication is \[ \left(\forall m,n\ne0,\ \operatorname{BS}(m,n)\not\hookrightarrow G\right) \quad\Longrightarrow\quad G\text{ word-hyperbolic}. \] It is restricted to finitely generated one-relator groups.Outline of the argument
Intersection and commensurator bounds reduce the problem to a restricted HNN setting. Annular diagrams generate a stationary current with finite carriers; failure of expansion would give periodic line trajectories and a forbidden Baumslag--Solitar configuration, completing the hyperbolicity argument.Formal verification
Family 258 has no Lean scope page in this release. Its selected result is not presented as formalized. This site has not executed the Lean code. The scope descriptions do not certify the remaining manuscript arguments.Status caveat
OpenAI attributes these manuscripts to work by an internal model. Its release cautions that arguments without formalization can contain mistakes. This catalogue has not independently checked the proofs; the labels report the mathematical claims attributed to OpenAI.Sources
