Active Targets

Open problems with partial formal progress

Qvanta® focuses on problems from the Erdős Problems catalog where incremental, machine-checkable progress is scientifically meaningful. We currently hold partial proofs for the following entries.

#242Partial progress
Number Theory
View on catalog

An open Erdős conjecture on the existence of distinct integer configurations for every n > 2, with equivalent formulations in terms of prime congruences and unit-fraction representations (see Bloom–Elsholtz and the catalog for the full LaTeX statement).

Qvanta® partial proofs

Qvanta® holds partial, machine-checkable progress on sub-lemmas and certified special cases toward this problem. Full formalization and bound verification remain in active development.

#624Partial progress
Combinatorics
View on catalog

Let X be a finite set of size n and H(n) be minimal such that some f mapping subsets of X into X satisfies { f(A) : A ⊆ Y } = X for every Y ⊆ X with |Y| ≥ H(n). Prove that H(n) − log₂ n → ∞.

Qvanta® partial proofs

Qvanta® has partial proofs and formally verified intermediate bounds building on the Erdős–Hajnal framework and subsequent refinements. Work continues toward a complete machine-checked argument.

The Program

Attacking open problems at the boundary of mathematical knowledge

Paul Erdős posed over 1,200 problems across combinatorics, number theory, and graph theory, many with cash prizes, all marking the frontier where intuition must yield to rigorous proof. With roughly half resolved, the remainder includes some of the most structurally demanding open problems in discrete mathematics.

Qvanta® selects targeted problems from the authoritative Erdős Problems catalog and attacks them with AI-assisted formal proof infrastructure. Output is not conjecture and not informal argument: it is verified proof, with every claim compiled and machine-discharged where complete, and certified partial progress where the full statement remains open.

Methodology

Formal proof. Agentic search. No hallucinations.

Our approach is neuro-symbolic: large language models propose proof paths, tactics, and candidate lemmas; formal proof assistants compile or reject every step. Generative reasoning and rigorous verification stay separated: research-grade output, not sophisticated guessing.

We operate across formalization, tactic search, bound verification, lemma extraction, and automated proof repair. Multiple AI systems collaborate across the pipeline, with a trusted formal kernel as the final arbiter. No proof is accepted that the verifier does not compile.

Why Qvanta®

Foundational mathematics as a security primitive

Combinatorial bounds, number-theoretic identities, and finite set mappings in our Erdős targets are the same structures that govern cryptographic hardness and post-quantum security arguments.

As NIST PQC standards introduce constructions whose security rests on mathematical hardness assumptions, the capacity to formally verify those foundations at depth becomes operationally relevant. The Erdős Problems Research Program is where Qvanta® builds that depth.

Pipeline

How we work

Problem formalization

Open statements from the Erdős catalog are encoded in a proof-assistant environment with explicit definitions, hypotheses, and formalizability flags.

Agentic proof search

LLM-guided tactic proposals and lemma discovery operate under a neuro-symbolic loop; every step is submitted to the formal kernel for compile-or-reject verification.

Partial progress as output

Improved bounds, verified special cases, and machine-checked sub-lemmas are first-class results, especially where informal literature may contain gaps.

Certified lineage

Partial results trace to prior formalized work and catalog remarks, with citations to the authoritative erdosproblems.com entries.
