OpenAI research collection · 2 manuscripts · Source checked 2026-10-19

OpenAI's result summary

Proves Saxl's conjecture: the tensor square of every staircase representation contains every irreducible complex representation of the corresponding symmetric group. More generally, every S_(n) with n\notin\{2,4,9\} has an irreducible representation whose tensor square contains all irreducibles.

MANUSCRIPT 01

Universal Tensor Squares for Symmetric Groups

For every positive integer n other than 2, 4, and 9, we prove that some irreducible complex representation of S_(n) has a tensor square containing every irreducible representation. This resolves the tensor square conjecture for symmetric groups affirmatively.

MANUSCRIPT 02

A Cyclic Polytabloid Proof of Saxl's Conjecture

For every staircase partition, we prove that the tensor square of the corresponding irreducible complex representation of the symmetric group contains every irreducible representation of that group. This proves Saxl's 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.
