Model, date and investigated scope.
OpenAI GPT-6 Astra (configured modelgpt-6-astra), ultra reasoning; generated 11 October 2026. Computed the exact undriven diagonal spectrum for all remaining real parameters and a driven high-level coupling scale. The general driven spectral distribution is not proved.Sources and literature check.
Read the supplied complete definition, catalogue wording, scope qualifications and source list for this canonical ID. The original-source citations are inherited as supplied references; no fresh primary-source or novelty search was performed for this attempt. No current open-status claim is inferred from this calculation.Exact diagonal parameter slice.
Set $\beta=0$, retaining arbitrary real $\omega,\chi,\gamma$. In the number basis, the displayed operator is diagonal: \[H|n\rangle=d_n|n\rangle,\qquad d_n=\chi n^2+(\omega-i\gamma)n-i\gamma,\quad n\ge0. \] On its maximal diagonal domain $\{u:\sum|d_nu_n|^2<\infty\}$, the spectrum is the closure of $\{d_n\}$. Indeed outside that closure the diagonal inverse is bounded, while each $d_n$ is an eigenvalue and every finite accumulation point prevents bounded invertibility. If $\chi\ne0$, or if $\chi=0$ and $\omega-i\gamma\ne0$, then $|d_n|\to\infty$, and the resolvent diagonal entries tend to zero, making the resolvent compact. If all three parameters vanish, $H=0$ has infinite multiplicity and no compact resolvent on the infinite-dimensional Fock space.Testing a driven perturbation.
The drive sends $|n\rangle$ to $\beta\sqrt{n+1}|n+1\rangle+\beta\sqrt n|n-1\rangle$. Its norm on this vector is $|\beta|\sqrt{2n+1}$. For $\chi\ne0$, the adjacent diagonal gap is $d_{n+1}-d_n=\chi(2n+1)+\omega-i\gamma$, of order $n$. The ratio of these scales is therefore $O(n^{-1/2})$. This suggests high-level localization but is not an eigenvalue estimate: the drive is unbounded and neighboring couplings interact through the full operator.Gap.
A rigorous driven distribution needs resolvent bounds on isolating contours and operator-domain control, including zero-Kerr and degenerate coefficient cases. A single basis-vector ratio does not provide those bounds. This attempt solves only the elementary undriven slice and preserves the source's full real parameter range as the remaining target; no positivity or blanket compactness assumption is added.Verification and adversarial audit.
Checked aa-dagger=N+I, diagonal domain, zero-operator exception, compact resolvent criterion, adjacent gap and coupling norms. This was an LLM adversarial audit, not independent human verification; no theorem prover was used. Prompts A then B applied to this ID: Checked aa-dagger=N+I, diagonal domain, zero-operator exception, compact resolvent criterion, adjacent gap and coupling norms. Scope remains limited: Prove full-operator resolvent localization for the unbounded drive, treating zero-Kerr and degenerate parameter regimes separately.Coordinator checked the diagonal spectrum and compact-resolvent alternatives, as well as the basis-vector drive/gap ratio and its limitations. This additional check was model-assisted, not independent human verification.
Tools, process and contributions.
Python 3 and local shell used to read supplied files and serialize this manuscript; mathematics derived symbolically in the text, with no numerical experiment or formal proof assistant. Contribution prompt A was followed by prompt B. GPT-6 Astra with ultra reasoning drafted the research and performed its stated self-audit; any additional coordinator contribution is identified in the verification and audit. A GPT-6-based Codex coordinator assembled the manuscript and checked repository integration; its exact variant and reasoning configuration were not exposed. No human mathematical contribution, independent human proof check or formal proof certification is supplied. Complete derivations and the consulted source references are included here; private reasoning transcripts are not published.Final status and first remaining gap.
UNRESOLVED. Prove full-operator resolvent localization for the unbounded drive, treating zero-Kerr and degenerate parameter regimes separately.Completion Estimate
COMPLETION: 0% The calculation is an elementary benchmark or conditional reduction; it establishes no claimed new portion of the complete source target.Sources
