OpenAI claim summary for Math-2609
The graph-property theorem gives the requested quantile-width estimate with universal constant $2^{19}$, for every $n\ge2$, every nontrivial increasing property invariant under vertex permutations, and each $0<\varepsilon<1/2$. Its parameter $n$ counts vertices, as in this question.
Log-squared sharp threshold for monotone graph properties
OpenAI's claim
Sharp thresholds for graph properties: The claimed threshold interval for a vertex-invariant increasing graph property has width at most a universal multiple of $\log(1/(2\varepsilon))/(\log n)^2$. This comparison uses the probabilities $\varepsilon$ and $1-\varepsilon$.Mathematical statement of the claimed result
Mathematical claim 1.
Let $\mathcal P$ be a nontrivial increasing property of simple graphs on $n\ge2$ vertices, unchanged when vertex labels are permuted. Write $p_a=\inf\{p:\mathbb P(G(n,p)\in\mathcal P)\ge a\}$. For every $0<\epsilon<1/2$ the claimed sharp-threshold bound is \[p_{1-\epsilon}-p_\epsilon\le\frac{2^{19}}{(\log n)^2}\log\frac1{2\epsilon}.\] Logs are natural and $n$ counts vertices rather than potential edges.Outline of the argument
Sharp thresholds for graph properties: A random block of vertices is retained while all edges disjoint from it are conditioned upon, preserving a useful permutation symmetry. A biased Fourier estimate bounds conditional low-degree mass linearly in influence. A small-degree vertex in each indexing graph transfers that bound to a larger original degree range, and integration of the probability derivative gives the quantile width.Formal verification
Family 186 describes Lean coverage for the graph-property threshold width; the hypergraph refinement is not part of this selection.Sharp thresholds for graph properties: The manuscript links SharpThreshold.lean.
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
