Grok 4.5 Constructs Mathematical Counterexample

soumitrashukla9 · x · 2026-07-10

Mathematicians found that Grok 4.5 successfully constructed an explicit counterexample for the Poisson group hypercontractivity on the 4-dimensional sphere. A 2021 study previously proved this property holds in 3 dimensions and below, but fails in higher dimensions like 13. Grok's result proves the property fails starting at 4 dimensions, making the earlier findings remarkably sharp. The author praised Grok's solution as explicit, simple, and elegant.
