AI Assists in Solving 35-Year-Old Probability Conjecture

A new research paper details an AI-assisted solution to the Signed BAR Conjecture, a problem in probability that has remained unresolved for over 35 years. The solution, developed with the aid of ChatGPT 5.5 Pro and verified by the authors, addresses the finite-signed uniqueness problem for stable Harrison--Reiman data. The paper also identifies an obstruction in a broader class of problems, demonstrating that the conjecture does not hold universally. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates AI's capability to assist in solving complex, long-standing mathematical problems.

    An AI-Assisted Solution to the Signed BAR Conjecture: Uniqueness in the Harrison--Reiman Class and a Completely-$\mathcal{S}$ Class Obstruction

    arXiv:2607.03639v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: For a multidimensional reflected diffusion, determining whether the associated basic adjoint relationship (BAR) uniquely characterizes the stationary distribution is a basic uniqueness problem in the BAR approach. The problem has …
