“Levent Alpöge, a mathematician at Anthropic, announced on X (formerly known as Twitter) that he had found a counterexample to the 87-year-old Jacobian conjecture with the help of Claude.”
“The finding suggests the Jacobian conjecture is false for dimensions higher than two. The original two-dimensional version of the conjecture remains unsolved.”
“The AI-assisted finding has drawn attention because the counterexample is reportedly simple enough to fit into a single social media post, making it easier for mathematicians to verify.”
