Paper: Hierarchical provers offer exponential sample complexity gains

Researchers Sho Sonoda and others have published a paper detailing a statistical learning approach to analyze agentic theorem provers. Their work focuses on the sample complexity of imitation learning from verified proof traces, comparing flat and hierarchical prover structures. The findings suggest that hierarchical provers can achieve exponentially smaller sample complexity when proof structures involve significant duplication of complex sub-arguments, indicating a potential advantage for reusable proof components.

    Exponential Sample Complexity Separation between Flat and Hierarchical Agentic Theorem Provers

    arXiv:2602.10512v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Agentic theorem provers often introduce intermediate lemmas, proof sketches, or subgoal decompositions before returning to tactic-level search. This can look like an expensive detour: if proving lemmas is itself hard, why …
