15 results in OpenAI Math 2026.

15 AI-made results in convex and metric geometry, from 30 papers in the OpenAI math collection, each explained in plain English. 13 have a formal Lean proof listed; 2 are claimed in a paper and not yet machine-checked. The oldest question here dates back to 1939: [The Mahler conjectures, functional inequalities and polar-product symplectic width](https://closedform.nishachay.tech/e/openai-math-2026-087/).
