OpenAI research collection · 2 manuscripts · Source checked 2026-10-19
OpenAI's result summary
Proves Donovan's conjecture: over each fixed algebraically closed field of characteristic p, blocks of finite groups with bounded defect-group order have only finitely many Morita-equivalence classes, for every prime p. Also proves the integral form over each fixed complete mixed-characteristic discrete valuation ring with algebraically closed residue field.

Donovan's Conjecture over Algebraically Closed Fields
We prove Donovan's conjecture over every algebraically closed field K of characteristic p > 0. For each fixed K and bound on defect-group order, blocks of finite groups represent only finitely many K-linear Morita equivalence classes. The defect groups need not be abelian, and the result includes p = 2.

We prove integral Donovan finiteness: for every prime p and positive integer M, the blocks of all finite groups with defect groups of order at most M have only finitely many Morita equivalence classes over W(\overline{\mathbb F}_p). The defect groups need not be abelian, and the result includes p = 2. The same bounded-defect…

We prove integral Donovan finiteness: for every prime p and positive integer M, the blocks of all finite groups with defect groups of order at most M have only finitely many Morita equivalence classes over W(\overline{\mathbb F}_p). The defect groups need not be abelian, and the result includes p = 2. The same bounded-defect finiteness holds over each fixed complete discrete valuation ring of characteristic zero with algebraically closed residue field of characteristic p, including ramified rings.

New mathematical reasoning could help AI tackle harder scientific and computational problems. How reliably these skills transfer beyond mathematics will determine how much they contribute to general intelligence.
