OpenAI's result summary
Constructs separable real Banach spaces that are globally bi-Lipschitz equivalent but not linearly isomorphic, resolving the separable Lipschitz-isomorphism problem negatively. Thus even the complete metric structure up to bi-Lipschitz equivalence does not determine a separable Banach space's linear isomorphism class.

Lipschitz Equivalent Separable Banach Spaces Need Not Be Linearly Isomorphic
There are separable real Banach spaces that are globally bi-Lipschitz equivalent but not linearly isomorphic. This gives a negative answer to the separable Banach-space Lipschitz-isomorphism problem.

Bi-Lipschitz Absorption of c0 Without a Linear Copy of c0
We construct a separable real Banach space Z that contains no linear copy of c_(0), yet is bi-Lipschitz equivalent to Z\oplus_∞ c_0. The same space contains a bi-Lipschitz image of every separable metric space.

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.
