OpenAI's result summary

Disproves unrestricted integral Gersten injectivity in degrees 3 and 5. Two explicit two-dimensional ramified regular local rings of mixed characteristic (0,5) have nonzero integral K-theory classes that vanish over their fraction fields.

MANUSCRIPT 01

An integral counterexample to Gersten's conjecture

We construct a two-dimensional ramified regular local ring A of mixed characteristic (0,5) for which K_5(A)→ K_5(\mathop{Frac}\nolimits A) has a nonzero kernel. This disproves Gersten's conjecture in its unrestricted integral form.

MANUSCRIPT 02

An integral degree-three Gersten counterexample

We construct a two-dimensional ramified regular local ring A in mixed characteristic (0,5) for which the integral map K_3(A)→ K_3(\mathop{Frac}\nolimits A) has nonzero kernel. This gives a negative answer to the unrestricted integral Gersten conjecture.

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.
