Summary of a claim published in openai/math; not a claim by this platform.
The main 116-generator example refutes the broader finite-rank/proper-target version. It is not a spherical-type counterexample, so the separately requested finite-type version remains unanswered. 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 specific Artin group on 116 generators is claimed to have no proper cocompact isometric action on a proper CAT$0$ space.Mathematical statement of the claimed result
Result 1.
For an Artin matrix $M$ on 116 generators with off-diagonal entries only in $\{2,3,\infty\}$, the constructed Artin group $A_M$ is claimed to have no action that is simultaneously isometric, proper, and cocompact on any nonempty proper CAT$0$ metric space. In quantified form, \[ \nexists X,\ A_M\curvearrowright X:\quad X\text{ proper CAT}(0),\quad\text{action proper and cocompact}. \] The metric space is required to be proper, and the exclusion is independent of dimension.Outline of the argument
Stable translation lengths and centralizer characters impose quantitative braid constraints. Six asymptotic sectors and labeled triangular diagrams yield a local winding count incompatible with those constraints; a finite Artin matrix realizes the contradictory configuration.Formal verification
For family 254, the scope includes finite-rank Salvetti contractibility, the 116-generator Artin CAT$0$ counterexample, and arbitrary parabolic intersections with closure consequences. Each has its own Comparator statement. The listed Comparator files areArtinCAT0.lean, ArtinParabolicIntersections.lean, HarmonicArtin.lean. Named declarations include OAI.ArtinCAT0.main, OAI.HarmonicArtin.salvetti_cover_contractible. 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
