Renowned mathematician Shing-Tung Yau and his collaborators have published a new paper addressing a 44-year-old conjecture in differential geometry, specifically concerning the existence of positively curved metrics on exotic spheres in seven dimensions. The paper, which acknowledges the assistance of AI models GPT-6 Astra and Claude Pro in exploring proof strategies and computations, proposes a novel construction method. This method involves dividing each exotic sphere into two hemispheres and constructing positively curved metrics on each, ensuring they seamlessly connect at the boundary. The use of AI in this complex mathematical research highlights a shift in how top mathematicians approach challenging problems, moving from skepticism to integration of AI tools. AI
