OpenAI's result summary
Proves that the billiard flow in every nondegenerate Euclidean triangle with at least one angle irrational relative to π is weakly mixing for normalized area times uniform direction. This strengthens ergodicity on the entire irrational-angle class, with no genericity or Diophantine restrictions.

Weak mixing of triangular billiards with an irrational angle
We prove that the unit-speed billiard flow in every nondegenerate Euclidean triangle with at least one angle irrational relative to π is weakly mixing for normalized Liouville measure. Equivalently, the product of the flow with itself is ergodic.

Ergodicity of triangular billiards with an irrational angle
We prove that the unit-speed billiard flow in every nondegenerate Euclidean triangle with at least one angle irrational relative to π is ergodic for normalized area times uniform angular measure. No genericity or Diophantine condition is required. The flow is considered outside the null set of trajectories that hit a vertex.

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.
