18 results in OpenAI Math 2026.

18 AI-made results in topology, from 26 papers in the OpenAI math collection, each explained in plain English. 3 have a formal Lean proof listed; 15 are claimed in a paper and not yet machine-checked. The oldest question here dates back to 1902: [The Hilbert–Smith conjecture in every dimension](https://closedform.nishachay.tech/e/openai-math-2026-304/). Rated Landmark: [Four-dimensional disk embedding and Wall's conjecture](https://closedform.nishachay.tech/e/openai-math-2026-305/).
