OpenAI claim summary for Math-2391
Manuscript 1 (family 289, 2026-09-23): The primary manuscript establishes uniform near-identity unitary conjugacy of sufficiently two-sided close unital von Neumann algebras. The theorem gives spatial isomorphism and near-identity conjugacy for the von Neumann, common-identity subcase. This problem also quantifies over general C*-algebras and asks about their structural invariants at completely bounded distance; that full class is not covered.
Rigidity of Completely Close \$C^*\$-Algebras
OpenAI's claim
For any prescribed small unitary displacement, the paper claims one uniform Kadison--Kastler tolerance guaranteeing conjugacy of close unital von Neumann algebras on any complex Hilbert space. The cited manuscript argues for that result; its relation to this problem is specified below.Mathematical statement of the claimed result
Mathematical claim 1.
For every $\varepsilon>0$, OpenAI claims a single $\delta(\varepsilon)>0$ valid for every complex Hilbert space $H$ and all unital von Neumann algebras $M,N\subset B(H)$ with common identity: if their norm-unit-ball Hausdorff distance $d(M,N)<\delta$, then \[ \exists u\in B(H):\quad u^*u=uu^*=I_H,\quad uMu^*=N,\quad\|u-I_H\|<\varepsilon. \] No separability, type or injectivity hypothesis is imposed on these von Neumann algebras.Outline of the argument
Manuscript 1 (family 289, 2026-09-23): For finite factors, free-word estimates control amplification while boundary averaging corrects nearby unitaries into a measurable cocycle. Double ergodicity makes the resulting correspondence multiplicative and yields a spatial implementation. Properly infinite algebras are handled through matrix amplification and modular preparation; alignment of centers and limits over separable restrictions assemble the universal conclusion.Formal verification
For family 289, the scope page documents the following selections. The selection gives a tolerance depending only on the requested distance of an implementing unitary from identity, for two close common-identity von Neumann algebras. The separate one-way near-inclusion and general norm-closed examples are outside it. The documented statement covers the main claim of manuscript 1. Comparator files: StrongKadisonKastler.lean.

Status caveat
OpenAI attributes these results to an internal model. Its release notice cautions that results lacking full formalization can contain mistakes. This site has not independently assessed the proofs; a solved label records the scope of the reported claim.Sources
