14 results in OpenAI Math 2026.

14 AI-made results in group theory, from 22 papers in the OpenAI math collection, each explained in plain English. 12 have a formal Lean proof listed; 2 are claimed in a paper and not yet machine-checked. The oldest question here dates back to 1902: [An infinite finitely presented residually finite 2-group and a finitely presented nil algebra](https://closedform.nishachay.tech/e/openai-math-2026-247/).
