alt Hacker NewsIs there any evidence that the discovery was made by Claude and not by Levent Alpöge himself? The only sources listed in the wikipedia article are an X post and a news article that references the post.

This is a very well studied problem. Well-known mathematicians have spent a lot of effort on it - Yitang Zhang wrote his entire PhD thesis on it back in 1991.
It is deeply unlikely that a random guy at Anthropic just happened to solve it so they could pass it off as the LLM's work.
You think Alpoge just had the solution for the Jacobian Conjecture in his back pocket, just sort of waiting to deploy at his next gig?
