Monochromatic finite sums and products in the positive integers

We prove Hindman's finite sums and products conjecture: for every finite coloring of the positive integers and every positive integer k, there is a k-element set whose nonempty subset sums and nonempty subset products all have the same color.

One signal in the wider AGI picture

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.
