The joint Dickman law for consecutive integers
OpenAI's claim
OpenAI presents the following claims relevant to this question, with manuscript numbers following paper order in Sources. In manuscript 1 (family 012; 2026-09-24), the asserted result is that consecutive integers have independent limiting largest-prime-factor statistics with Dickman marginals, and either ordering of their largest factors has density one half.Mathematical statement of the claimed result
Manuscript 1.
Let $P^+(n)$ be the largest prime factor and $\rho$ the Dickman function, equal to one on $[0,1]$, zero on negative arguments and satisfying $u\rho'(u)+\rho(u-1)=0$ for $u>1$. For every fixed $a,b\in(0,1)$, the claimed joint law is \[ \lim_{X\to\infty}\frac1X|\{2\le n\le X:P^+(n)\le n^a,\ P^+(n+1)\le n^b\}| =\rho(1/a)\rho(1/b). \] The limit uses ordinary unweighted counting through all real $X$, not logarithmic averaging.Outline of the argument
For manuscript 1 (family 012; 2026-09-24), a positive divisor weight amplifies a putative mixed correlation into quadratic energy. An independent split model controls its first two moments, while residue smoothing suppresses nonconstant modes and forces the amplified energy to vanish.Formal verification
For manuscript 1 (family 012; 2026-09-24), OpenAI lists Lean statements for this assertion: consecutive integers have independent limiting largest-prime-factor statistics with Dickman marginals, and either ordering of their largest factors has density one half.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
