The cotype-cotype conjecture with the approximation property
OpenAI's claim
OpenAI presents the following claims relevant to this question, with manuscript numbers following paper order in Sources. In manuscript 1 (family 326; 2026-09-23), the asserted result is that when the ordinary approximation property holds, a nonzero real Banach space $X$ is $K$-convex precisely when $X$ and its dual each have some finite cotype.Mathematical statement of the claimed result
Manuscript 1.
Take a real Banach space $X\ne\{0\}$ and assume ordinary AP: finite-rank bounded operators approximate the identity uniformly on compact sets, without a common norm bound. Define Rademacher cotype by \[ (\sum_i\|x_i\|^q)^{1/q}\le C_q(X)(\mathbb E\|\sum_i\varepsilon_ix_i\|^2)^{1/2}\quad(q\ge2), \] and $K$-convexity by uniform boundedness, on vector-valued $L^2$ sign cubes, of the first-order Rademacher projections. The claim is \[ X\text{ is }K\text{-convex}\ \Longleftrightarrow\ (\exists q,r\in[2,\infty):C_q(X)<\infty,\ C_r(X^*)<\infty). \] Exponents may differ. The forward implication needs no AP, while the reverse implication retains it.Outline of the argument
For manuscript 1 (family 326; 2026-09-23), walsh moment lifts factor finite-dimensional data through a compact domain with controlled dual moments. Approximation by finite-rank maps then gives uniform Walsh decay, and a scalar coefficient estimate excludes the dimension growth of a non-$K$-convex space.Formal verification
For manuscript 1 (family 326; 2026-09-23), OpenAI lists Lean statements for this assertion: when the ordinary approximation property holds, a nonzero real Banach space $X$ is $K$-convex precisely when $X$ and its dual each have some finite cotype.The central assertion is within the documented formal scope; the additional applications retain their own scope limits.

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
