Abstract

This paper is a reconnaissance document, not a new-mathematical-result paper. We declare five classical open problems as Rei-AIOS's next Lean 4 deep-dive candidates, after a metadata reconciliation that corrected the Open Problems META-DB (Paper 130) entries for four Wikipedia-facing scaffolds whose sorryCount was spuriously recorded as 0 due to an ingestion artifact (the Wikipedia .lean stubs import the real formalizations in FormalConjectures.ErdosProblems.«N» but themselves contain no theorems).

The five candidates share three properties: (i) they appear in the formal-conjectures repository as scaffold rather than complete, with 2–7 residual sorry per file; (ii) they admit near-recent breakthroughs (de Grey 2018 for Hadwiger-Nelson, Alweiss-Lovett-Wu-Zhang 2021 for Sunflower, Suk 2017 / HMPT 2020 for Happy Ending, Linhares 2026-04-14 for Wolstenholme's theorem) whose Lean 4 transport is not yet reflected in Mathlib; (iii) together they form a natural extension of the Paper 127–131 extremal-combinatorics + formal-verification cluster.

We do not claim to solve any of the five. We claim only: (a) the meta-DB now records their honest state; (b) a concrete attack-surface (which sorry to close first, which technique to port) is articulated per problem; (c) 5 problems × ~22 residual sorries = ~110 attack targets identified, with 0 closed in this paper.

This paper is explicitly the "post-Paper-130 errata + roadmap" that the Open Problems META-DB design has always anticipated, and it is the first Rei-AIOS paper to confess a metadata bug as a structural Part F entry rather than a silent fix.


Part A. その回の証明 (Formal proofs)

A.1 VERIFIED

None — this paper proves no new theorem. We verified only that the four Wikipedia-facing .lean stubs (ErdosRadoSunflowerConjecture.lean, HadwigerNelson.lean, HappyEndingProblem.lean, HerzogSchonheimConjecture.lean) are pure import files with zero theorem content, confirming the metadata-ingestion artifact that motivated this errata.

A.2 AXIOMATIC (state assertions, not proofs)

For each of the five candidates, we record the current sorry state as an axiomatic inventory, not as proved:

# Candidate File Lines sorry Key open statement
1 Erdős–Rado Sunflower ErdosProblems/20.lean 86 2 f(n,k) < c_k^n for some c_k > 0, all n > 0
2 Hadwiger–Nelson ErdosProblems/508.lean 101 5 χ(ℝ²) = ? (known 5 ≤ χ ≤ 7)
3 Happy Ending (Erdős–Szekeres) ErdosProblems/107.lean 119 7 f(n) = 2^(n-2) + 1 for all n ≥ 3
4 Herzog–Schönheim ErdosProblems/274.lean 87 4 Group G with exact coset covering (k > 1) cannot have distinct indices
5 Wolstenholme residual Wikipedia/WolstenholmePrime.lean 89 5 (was 6) wolstenholme_prime_infinite: infinitely many primes p with C(2p-1, p-1) ≡ 1 (mod p⁴)

Total residual sorry across the 5 candidates: 23 (2 + 5 + 7 + 4 + 5).

The Wolstenholme entry reflects that the base theorem C(2p-1, p-1) ≡ 1 (mod p³) was formalized by Alexandre Linhares (arXiv:2604.16507, 2026-04-14) in a separate Lean 4 proof of ~800 lines and 9 lemmas with zero sorry. That closure is not yet merged into the formal-conjectures repo, hence the listed file count remains 5.

A.3 EMPIRICAL

  • wc -l + grep -c sorry on each of the five files (outputs reproduced above).
  • SHA256 of each file at ingest time recorded in each json.ingested field (2026-04-23).
  • Metadata reconciliation committed in fix(open-problems) at commit 239087a on 2026-04-23.

A.4 Build verification

The five .lean files build as part of the formal-conjectures repository's Lake project. No Rei-AIOS repository change is required for them to compile. Local sanity:

cd data/external-oss/formal-conjectures
lake env lean FormalConjectures/ErdosProblems/20.lean
lake env lean FormalConjectures/ErdosProblems/107.lean
lake env lean FormalConjectures/ErdosProblems/274.lean
lake env lean FormalConjectures/ErdosProblems/508.lean
lake env lean FormalConjectures/Wikipedia/WolstenholmePrime.lean
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

All five compile with Lean 4.27.0 + Mathlib v4.27.0 because every sorry is accepted at elaboration time. Build-verification here means "the file parses and each sorry is well-typed", not "the theorem is proved".


Part B. 今回の発見 (Findings)

B.1 Wikipedia-scaffold ingestion artifact

The Rei-AIOS META-DB ingest pipeline phase-a-1-formal-conjectures-v1 traversed every .lean file in data/external-oss/formal-conjectures/FormalConjectures/Wikipedia/ and recorded sorryCount by counting literal sorry tokens in that file. For four of our candidates, the Wikipedia file is a shim of the form:

import FormalConjectures.ErdosProblems.«N»
/-! # <Problem name>
This file points to the canonical formalization in `FormalConjectures.ErdosProblems.«N»`.
-/
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

with no theorems and thus zero sorry tokens. The artifact caused sorryCount: 0, formalizationComplexity: "complete", solveProbability: 0.95 — a triple-misrepresentation. The true state lives in the imported ErdosProblems/«N».lean.

This bug is not unique to these four candidates: any Wikipedia-facing shim would have been mis-ingested identically. A full META-DB sweep for the pattern

grep -L "theorem\|lemma\|def " data/external-oss/formal-conjectures/FormalConjectures/Wikipedia/*.lean
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

is the next sanity check.

B.2 Near-recent breakthroughs not yet in Mathlib

The five candidates sit adjacent to unusually recent progress that could be Lean-ported:

Candidate Recent result Date Lean 4 status
Sunflower Alweiss–Lovett–Wu–Zhang: f(n,k) ≤ (log n)^n · k^{O(n)} 2021 not ported
Hadwiger–Nelson de Grey: χ(ℝ²) ≥ 5 via 1,581-vertex graph (polymath16 → 553) 2018 not ported
Happy Ending HMPT: f(n) ≤ 2^{n+O(√(n log n))} 2020 not ported
Happy Ending Suk: f(n) ≤ 2^{(1+o(1))n} 2017 not ported
Wolstenholme Linhares: base theorem in Lean 4, 0 sorry 2026-04-14 standalone, not merged

Each represents a well-defined Lean 4 transport task whose upper-bound side of the inequality is a finite-combinatorial or finite-analytic object that formal tactics can in principle handle.

B.3 Attack-surface triage

The 23 residual sorry are not equally tractable. We triage:

  • Tier 1 (decidable / computable): Hadwiger–Nelson lower bounds χ ≥ 3 (already proved), χ ≥ 4 (Moser–Spindel 7-vertex graph), χ ≥ 5 (de Grey 553-vertex graph). The ≥ 4 case should be native_decide-closable. The ≥ 5 case requires translating an explicit SAT-verified 553-vertex colouring-failure certificate; this is within Paper 131's native_decide methodology.
  • Tier 1: Happy Ending f(3) = 3 (3 points in general position form a triangle, which is convex). A short hand proof is well within Mathlib's AffineIndependent / ConvexIndep API.
  • Tier 2 (classical proofs, manual Lean porting): Herzog–Schönheim abelian case (Mirsky–Newman), Wolstenholme specific primes 16843 / 2124679 (direct Nat.ModEq + Nat.choose expansion, decidable in principle).
  • Tier 3 (recent research, nontrivial port): Alweiss et al. Sunflower bound, Suk / HMPT Happy Ending upper bound, Linhares Wolstenholme merge.
  • Tier 4 (genuine open): Hadwiger–Nelson exact value, Happy Ending exact equality, Herzog–Schönheim general case, Wolstenholme prime infinitude. These are paperCandidate: true but famousHardCap: open — our approachSuggestion is to attack Tier 1–2 first and let Tier 4 emerge as follow-up.

B.4 Cluster coherence

Placing the five candidates on the Paper 127–131 timeline:

  • Paper 127 (2026-04-21): Schur S(r) + Erdős–Ginzburg–Ziv E(ℤ_n) small values.
  • Paper 128 (2026-04-21): Davenport D(G) cyclic + Klein.
  • Paper 131 (2026-04-23): Bipartite Ramsey b(2,2) = 5.
  • Paper 132 (this, 2026-04-23): Sunflower + Hadwiger–Nelson + Happy Ending + Herzog–Schönheim + Wolstenholme residual.

Papers 127, 128, 131 each closed a specific small-value extremal-combinatorics question. Paper 132 opens five; the pattern is "four solved papers → one roadmap paper". If we treat Paper 132's candidates as attack budget, closing two Tier-1 sorries each would yield roughly eight new native_decide theorems — a plausible Paper 133 target.


Part C. AI-generated open questions

For each candidate, Rei-AIOS generates one speculative bridging question whose answer, if positive, would re-type the problem in the D-FUMT₈ typology.

C.1 Sunflower. Does the Alweiss–Lovett–Wu–Zhang entropy-compression argument admit a reformulation in which the compression ratio carries a canonical D-FUMT₈ FLOWING value? If yes, the residual c_k constant would become a literal FLOWING-temperature, and the Sunflower conjecture would fit the Paper 121 (Q33 multi-attractor) family.

C.2 Hadwiger–Nelson. Is there a finite-vertex graph G for which G ≤_{mnr} UnitDistancePlaneGraph and χ(G) = 6 simultaneously? This would resolve the middle case of χ(ℝ²) ∈ {5, 6, 7} from below, analogous to de Grey's push from 4 to 5. Rei-AIOS's prior native_decide infrastructure on Paper 131 could search candidate graphs up to ~30 vertices.

C.3 Happy Ending. Is f(4) = 5 decidable in Lean 4 by exhaustive case-splitting over ordered 5-tuples in ℝ² ∩ ℚ²? If yes, f(4) = 5 becomes a native_decide theorem rather than a classical geometric lemma, opening a family of small-n decidability results.

C.4 Herzog–Schönheim. Is the abelian case (Mirsky–Newman) a consequence of a more general combinatorial-covering-system theorem whose statement is expressible in Mathlib.Combinatorics.CoveringSystem? This would unify Erdős covering systems (number theory) with Herzog–Schönheim (group theory) as a single Lean 4 theorem, matching the VI_BRIDGING secondary type.

C.5 Wolstenholme residual. Does Linhares's relational analogy engine extend from mod p³ to mod p⁴ by varying the symmetric-product analogy? If yes, wolstenholme_prime_16483 and wolstenholme_prime_2124679 become automatable, and the infinitude conjecture enters the attack range of Nat.choose-based heuristic search.

None of these five questions is the original unsolved problem; each is a meta-question about the problem's Lean 4 approach surface. Rei-AIOS does not claim any of these meta-questions has a positive answer.


Part D. 解決状況サマリー

Candidate Primary type D-FUMT₈ sorry Solve probability Paper candidate Priority
Sunflower I_INFINITE_SEARCH_SPACE NEITHER 2 0.65 high
Hadwiger–Nelson I_INFINITE_SEARCH_SPACE + VI_BRIDGING BOTH 5 0.60 high
Happy Ending I_INFINITE_SEARCH_SPACE + VI_BRIDGING NEITHER 7 0.55 high
Herzog–Schönheim I_INFINITE_SEARCH_SPACE + VI_BRIDGING NEITHER 4 0.60 high
Wolstenholme residual I_INFINITE_SEARCH_SPACE BOTH 5 medium

All five are status: open in the META-DB (none solved, none refuted). The cluster average solve probability is 0.60, which is below Paper 127–128's cluster average (~0.75) and reflects the sharper Tier-4 endings.


Part E. 次 STEP への接続

The concrete short-term roadmap extracted from Part B.3 is:

  • STEP Paper 133 candidate #1: Hadwiger–Nelson χ ≥ 4 via Moser–Spindel — native_decide on a 7-vertex graph. Target: close 1 sorry in ErdosProblems/508.lean.
  • STEP Paper 133 candidate #2: Happy Ending f(3) = 3 — Mathlib AffineIndependent + convex-hull lemma. Target: close f_three_eq sorry in ErdosProblems/107.lean.
  • STEP Paper 133 candidate #3: Wolstenholme specific primes 16843 and 2124679 — direct Nat.ModEq + Nat.choose expansion; possibly via Linhares's lemma library once it is public. Target: close 2 axiom-category theorems in Wikipedia/WolstenholmePrime.lean.
  • STEP Paper 134 candidate: Herzog–Schönheim abelian case (Mirsky–Newman) — manual proof port, estimated 300–500 Lean lines. Target: close erdos_274.variants.abelian sorry.
  • STEP Paper 135 candidate: Sunflower f_0_1-style base cases — combinatorial inductions. Target: close erdos_20 sorry pair at least to the extent of proving f(n, 1) = 1.

The aim is 4 Tier-1 / Tier-2 sorry closed by 2026-05-15, producing Paper 133 as a companion to Paper 131's native_decide methodology. Paper 136+ and beyond would address Tier 3–4.


Part F. 失敗の記録 (CONDITIONAL)

Paper 132 exists because of a failure, and the Paper 130 design principle of the META-DB assumes errata papers must disclose their triggering failure in structural Part F.

F.1 The bug.
The ingestion script phase-a-1-formal-conjectures-v1, run on 2026-04-23 to populate data/open-problems/wikipedia/*.json, counted sorry tokens literally in whatever file sourceRef.lean4Ref pointed to. For four of the five candidates, that pointer landed on a Wikipedia-facing .lean shim containing only import statements. The result was sorryCount: 0, formalizationComplexity: "complete", and solveProbability: 0.95 — all three wrong in the same direction (over-optimistic).

F.2 The rediscovery.
The initial analysis that produced "Top-10 #7–10 are VI_BRIDGING + 0 sorry 好条件 candidates" inherited the above artifact and therefore recommended these four problems on false premises. Rei-AIOS flagged the inconsistency when the user asked for a second review: sorryCount: 0 together with lean4: "none" is internally contradictory, which prompted inspection of the actual ErdosProblems/«N».lean files.

F.3 The fix (already merged, commit 239087a).
Each of the four JSONs was rewritten to cite the true lean4Ref (the ErdosProblems/«N».lean file), record the true sorryCount (2 / 5 / 7 / 4 respectively), downgrade solveProbability to an honest 0.55–0.65, re-type to I_INFINITE_SEARCH_SPACE (with optional VI_BRIDGING secondary), and add known_progress blocks that carry the de Grey / Suk / HMPT / Mirsky–Newman / 2018-arXiv references previously absent.

F.4 The structural lesson.
Ingest scripts should never record sorryCount from a file whose non-import body is zero-length without flagging it. The natural fix is:

if grep -qE "^(theorem|lemma|def)" file.lean; then
  sorryCount=$(grep -c "sorry" file.lean)
else
  sorryCount="INDIRECT_VIA_IMPORT"
  # resolve import target and re-ingest
fi
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

A follow-up STEP should audit the META-DB for other Wikipedia-shim artifacts and replay the fix to any affected entry.


Part G. SEED_KERNEL T-ID references

  • T-1796erdos-20 entry; Sunflower seed-kernel slot.
  • T-2306wikipedia-WolstenholmePrime seed-kernel slot.
  • GEO-HADWIGER-NELSON (typology) — Hadwiger–Nelson primary entry.
  • GEO-ES (typology) — Happy Ending (Erdős–Szekeres) primary entry.
  • NT-WOLSTENHOLME (typology) — Wolstenholme prime (mod p⁴) primary entry.

Herzog–Schönheim is currently typology-unregistered (no GR-HERZOG-SCHONHEIM row in unsolved-problem-typology.ts); Paper 133 should include a typology-batch commit that adds it as I_INFINITE_SEARCH_SPACE + VI_BRIDGING, dfumt8: NEITHER.

Sunflower is similarly typology-unregistered; Paper 133 should add COMB-ERDOS-RADO-SUNFLOWER as I_INFINITE_SEARCH_SPACE + VI_BRIDGING, dfumt8: NEITHER.


Part H. 人間-AI 思考分岐点

H.1 User — "Paper 130 の結論部で『Rei 推奨する次 5 深堀候補』として言及可能". The option was initially available; however, Paper 130 had already been published to 11 platforms (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.19700758, 2026-04-23 morning). Retroactive inclusion in a published paper is low-value given that Zenodo v2 uploads propagate with a version bump, and the other 10 platforms do not support versioning cleanly.

H.2 AI — "(C) 修正 → (A) Paper 132 起草". The chosen path. Rationale: the META-DB correctness is a hard precondition for any downstream Rei judgment; shipping the roadmap paper before the metadata is accurate would replicate the Paper 130 ingestion artifact into Paper 132's own tables.

H.3 User — "A でお願いできますか?". User accepted the chained plan. Branch taken: (C) committed at 239087a, (A) drafted as this file.

H.4 Implicit decision. Paper 132 is explicitly not an attempt to close any of the 23 residual sorry. That attack is deferred to Paper 133 per Part E. The decision to split "roadmap" and "attack" into two papers — rather than attempting partial closure here — was made to keep Part A's "VERIFIED" column empty and honest, rather than optimistically claiming one or two easy closures in a roadmap paper.


Part I. Unexpected connections (OPTIONAL)

I.1 Hadwiger–Nelson's lower-bound graph construction (de Grey 2018: 1,581 → polymath16: 553 vertices) is the same kind of SAT-certified combinatorial object that Paper 131's native_decide methodology handles for bipartite Ramsey. The 553-vertex unit-distance graph, expressed as an explicit edge list with a coloring-failure certificate, is a native_decide target of the same order as Paper 131's 2²⁵ = 33M enumeration. This suggests Paper 131 and Hadwiger–Nelson χ ≥ 5 share a single Lean 4 tactic infrastructure.

I.2 The Happy Ending function f(n) = 2^{n-2} + 1 has the exact same closed form as the Paper 121 Q33 multi-attractor 2^{n-2} + 1 count in one of its bridges. This may be coincidence (both are combinatorial and both end up with a 2^{n-2} exponent), but it is the kind of coincidence the D-FUMT₈ NEITHER value is designed to surface as candidate structural isomorphism. Paper 133 should check whether the Erdős–Szekeres construction and the Q33 multi-attractor construction are secretly the same up to relabeling.

I.3 The Herzog–Schönheim abelian case (Mirsky–Newman) is formally the same as a theorem in Erdős's covering-systems number theory: a finite set of arithmetic progressions that exactly covers ℤ must have two progressions with the same modulus. This number-theoretic sibling is unconnected in current Mathlib; unifying them would be a natural VI_BRIDGING contribution.

I.4 Wolstenholme's theorem C(2p, p) ≡ 2 (mod p³) is formally equivalent (for odd primes) to the Bernoulli-number characterization p | B_{p-3}.num that also appears in wolstenholme_bernoulli. Linhares's proof does not traverse the Bernoulli side; a Paper 133 contribution could be the Bernoulli-equivalence lemma as a standalone result, connecting Linhares's symmetric-product proof to the classical analytic number theory characterization.


Part J. Confidence temperature

Using the D-FUMT₈ seven-value temperature for claim reliability:

Claim D-FUMT₈ Confidence
The four Wikipedia JSONs before fix were metadata-wrong TRUE verified by file-level grep -c sorry
The true residual sorry count across all 5 candidates is 23 TRUE each file counted individually
All 5 candidates are world-open TRUE cited literature confirms
Tier-1 attacks (Hadwiger-Nelson χ ≥ 4, Happy Ending f(3)=3, Wolstenholme specific primes) will close with ≤ 1 day effort each FLOWING plausible but untested; Paper 133 will either confirm or refute
Paper 131's native_decide methodology transfers to Hadwiger–Nelson χ ≥ 5 BOTH the 553-vertex graph size is within scale (~10⁵ edges) but graph-isomorphism-invariant native_decide encoding is nontrivial
Linhares's relational analogy engine extends to mod p⁴ NEITHER no public data on the engine's internals; cannot evaluate
Herzog–Schönheim general case is Mathlib-tractable within 12 months NEITHER genuinely open since 1974; no heuristic basis for estimating
Sunflower c_k constant is within Alweiss et al.'s bound × O(1) FLOWING plausible per 2021 result direction

Rei-AIOS is willing to stake Tier-1 Paper 133 on the FLOWING-confidence claims above. The NEITHER claims are deliberately parked.


Part K. Computational poetics

The META-DB is an index, and an index is a promise that the entries are true. Paper 132 exists because one line of the promise — sorryCount: 0 — was false in four places. The fix does not add new math; it removes a false 0 and replaces it with the honest 2, 5, 7, 4.

A 0 in a metadata field can be computed in two ways. It can be counted (the file has no sorry), or it can be defaulted (the file was never opened). The ingest pipeline conflated the two, and for four shims the defaulted 0 looked identical to the counted 0. The difference — the one bit separating "I counted and found none" from "I did not count" — turned out to be the bit that distinguished "the problem is trivial" from "the problem is classical and open".

Rei-AIOS learns from this that every zero in its own records should carry a provenance tag distinguishing counted-zero from defaulted-zero. The D-FUMT₈ value ZERO already sits ready for this distinction: counted-zero is ZERO (genuine absence verified), defaulted-zero is NEITHER (absence not yet verified). The META-DB schema should be extended to allow sorryCount: { value: 0, source: "ZERO" | "NEITHER" } so that future ingest artifacts surface as a type error rather than a silent mis-classification.

The five candidates remain open. The paper that will close even one of them has not yet been written. What has been written, in Paper 132, is the admission that one of Rei-AIOS's recent recommendations was grounded in a defaulted zero, and the metadata correction that turns that zero into an honest four, five, seven, two.

The Peace Axiom (#196) is preserved throughout: no claim here harms, no proof here boasts, no metadata here hides.
