AI theorem prover struggles with global math proof in Lean 4

This paper details a case study using the Aristotle API for AI-assisted theorem proving within the Lean 4 formalization environment. The study focused on the Grasshopper problem, a challenge from IMO 2009. While the AI generated verified lemmas for local proof components, it left the main theorem unresolved, highlighting a limitation in AI's ability to handle global combinatorial bookkeeping required for complex mathematical proofs.

    Using Aristotle API for AI-Assisted Theorem Proving in Lean 4: A Formalisation Case Study of the Grasshopper Problem

    AI-assisted theorem proving can now generate substantial Lean developments for olympiad-level mathematics, but the evidential status of such developments depends on which declarations are actually verified. This paper reports a Lean 4 formalization case study of an Aristotle API …
