New math proof of a hot conjecture impresses researchers as a careful density increment argument
_onionesque · x · 2026-10-07
Researchers are discussing a new mathematical result: a claim expected to hold for two years fell quickly, and while the proof is currently unreadable, it's considered impressive if valid — the problem has little direct prior work, and the approach appears to be a more careful density increment argument.
