Summary of a claim published in openai/math; not a claim by this platform.
Manuscript 1 (family 039, 2026-09-23): Nagata’s inequality forces emptiness for the restricted curve systems violating its strict slope bound; it leaves the SHGH exact dimension formula for arbitrary Cremona-reduced systems undecided.
Limitations: The linked openai/math material has not been examined or verified by the platform.

OpenAI's claim
At $r\ge10$ very general complex plane points, every effective curve is claimed to have total assigned multiplicity below its degree times $\sqrt r$, including reducible curves and unequal assignments. The cited manuscript argues for that result; its relation to this problem is specified below.Mathematical statement of the claimed result
Mathematical claim 1.
For each $r\ge10$, OpenAI claims a nonempty very-general locus of ordered distinct points $(p_1,\ldots,p_r)$ in $\mathbb P^2_{\mathbb C}$ such that every nonzero effective plane curve $C$ of degree $d\ge1$ and integers $m_i\ge0$ with $\operatorname{mult}_{p_i}C\ge m_i$ satisfy \[ d\sqrt r>\sum_{i=1}^r m_i. \] Very general means excluding a union, indexed by a countable set, of proper algebraic closed subsets of the distinct-point configuration space. Multiplicities may be unequal, curves may be reducible, and the strict inequality starts at ten points.Outline of the argument
Manuscript 1 (family 039, 2026-09-23): Incidence loci and cyclic products reduce a hypothetical failure to equal multiplicities at arbitrary configurations. Degeneration toward a cubic produces finite jet constraints; colliding the remaining points and taking limits of elliptic theta bases turns the contradiction into a full-rank polynomial evaluation problem.Formal verification
For family 039, the scope page documents the following selections. The selected plane-curve inequality allows unequal multiplicities and repeated components at every allowed point count. A separate statement gives eventual maximality on each polarized complex surface, with a surface-dependent threshold; the higher-dimensional and positive-characteristic companions are not selected here. The documented statement covers the main claim of manuscript 1. Comparator files: MaximalSeshadriConstants.lean, Nagata.lean.

Status caveat
OpenAI attributes these results to an internal model. Its release notice cautions that results lacking full formalization can contain mistakes. This site has not independently assessed the proofs; a solved label records the scope of the reported claim.Sources
