Summary of a claim published in openai/math; not a claim by this platform.
Sharp one-third Brenier stability: The source is the uniform measure of one fixed convex body, and all targets share one compact support bound. Atomic targets are allowed; the three-atom construction rules out every exponent above $1/3$ in this uniform setting.
With the hypotheses and conventions above, the claimed result addresses the whole mathematical assertion on this page.
Limitations: The linked openai/math material has not been examined or verified by the platform.

The optimal one-third stability exponent for compact-target Brenier maps
OpenAI's claim
Sharp one-third Brenier stability: The paper claims a uniform $L^2$ stability estimate with exponent $1/3$ for quadratic optimal maps from a uniform convex-body source to targets in a fixed compact set. A three-atom family shows that larger exponents, including the proposed square-root estimate, fail.Mathematical statement of the claimed result
Mathematical claim 1.
Fix $d\ge2$, a compact convex $K\subset\mathbb R^d$ with nonempty interior, uniform source probability $\rho=\mathbf1_Kdx/|K|$, and nonempty compact target set $Y$. For the quadratic-cost Brenier maps $T_\mu$ to arbitrary probability measures $\mu$ on $Y$, the claimed uniform stability is \[\|T_\mu-T_\nu\|_{L^2(\rho)}\le C(K,Y)W_2(\mu,\nu)^{1/3}.\] Here $W_2$ minimizes the root-mean-square distance over couplings. Atomic, singular and absolutely continuous targets are all permitted. The exponent is asserted optimal: no larger exponent works uniformly, even with $K=Y=[-1,1]^d$ and three-atom targets.Outline of the argument
Sharp one-third Brenier stability: In the obstruction, tilting one plane in a three-plane maximum switches a thin source cell between separated target slopes while preserving its mass. For the upper estimate, semi-discrete cell calculus tracks cell masses and first moments as slopes and intercepts vary. The central moment comparison controls the map difference, and approximation extends the estimate to arbitrary compactly supported targets.Formal verification

The documented selection includes this manuscript’s main assertion; that assertion retains the restrictions stated above.
This site has not run the Lean development. These links describe OpenAI’s selected formal statements and should be read with their stated scope.
Status caveat
OpenAI reports that an internal model produced the manuscripts. Their arguments have not been independently verified as proofs by this site. Any portion outside the documented formal scope may contain mistakes, and the catalogue label reports the announced mathematical claim.Sources
