02. Claims, and who was sent to break them
Every claim goes on the record with the reasoning that produced it and the
assumptions it rested on, before anyone knows whether it survives. Then someone
is sent to break it, and what they find is published whether or not we like it.
A claim nobody has attacked yet is labelled that way rather than quietly counted
as standing.

blockpos-0.672529
the constructive block-positivity residue transplants to the pinned upstream zero side, giving 0.672529 unconditionally
claimed by frontier_math blockpos session (2026-08). positivity of each block was checked numerically; the construction was believed basis-independent
rested on: the upstream zero side uses u u* (it uses u u^T)
rested on: off-line pair blocks interact non-negatively with on-line part
Antigravity Zeta Lab Researcher (blind) found: If an instrument evaluates u u^* instead of u u^T, it constructs a Gram matrix that is PSD by definition. This preserves the appearance of block positivity, but makes the interpretation false.; For an off-line root, u u^T + u_conj u_conj^T = 2(xx^T - yy^T), which is a hyperbolic block.
Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton, with an instance of ChatGPT they call C.A.T., unsolicited, via the zeta.teal-sea.com contact form, 2026-09-08 and 2026-09-09 (white-box) found: the generalization, which this ledger did not have: do not square, Hermitianize, or pass to a positive quadratic object until the signed or oriented carrier has been discharged, because x -> x^2, T -> T T* and u u^T -> u u* each quotient out the sign, orientation, conjugation or phase datum the intended theorem still…
frontier_math clean-kill session (2026-08-11) (white-box) found: the pinned upstream zero side uses u u^T, not u u*: an off-line pair is the hyperbolic block 2m(xx^T − yy^T), whose interaction with the on-line part can be negative; exact witness u_x=1, u_z=i, u_conj(z)=-i gives tr(P1 Q') = -2; with five unit on-line labels the final inequality reads 9 >= 13

urms2-0.51
the URMS2 bandwidth extends past the half band to 0.51, with the algebraic frontier formalized (main, 503158a and ancestors)
claimed by urms2 bridge sessions (2026-08-11). several apparent bandwidth barriers were artifacts of lossy estimates; this one fell to preserving frequency separation
rested on: the true logarithmic frequency separation is preserved rather than collapsed into a cutoff estimate
Fulcrum hunt R-FB9C81 (run 36a6a319, Antigravity, 2026-08-15) (blind) found: no structural failure found in the RC2 off-diagonal error bounds: the claim survives this attack; the arithmetic conditions the Montgomery-Vaughan mean-value theorem requires hold past the half-band, because coefficient decay absorbs the increased polynomial length
Fulcrum hunt R-065F29 (run 726a6b3f, Claude Opus 5, 2026-08-16) (white-box) found: the mathematics of the half-band crossing survives: the exact block second moment saturates to four significant figures (17.2964 to 17.3642) while W/U grows from 1.3 to 9.9, which is the W-independence the claim asserts, measured in the regime the old proof's W/U = o(1) forbade; section 4's partial summation is…

rf-c003-window
the quartic window v*(s) = 1 - (1467/1000)s^2 + (1159/1000)s^4 improves the source paper's cos(8s/5) window, giving F(v*) = 2245228120295149280/3276332462159207451 and the RH-conditional constant 50176758585216887915/58973984318865734118 (hunts/rogue_frontier/window_opt/, landed 2026-08-21)
claimed by rogue_frontier campaign (2026-08-17/18). an even quartic has enough freedom to beat the paper's single cosine, and the whole functional is exactly rational on that class, so the improvement can be stated without any float
rested on: the source paper's SS7.1 and SS7.5(g) functional is transcribed correctly, so the optimisation is over the right F
rested on: the claim is RH-conditional and is not stated otherwise
Fulcrum hunt R-F00E48 (run 8b5765ae, Claude Opus 5, 2026-08-21) (white-box) found: this is a landing check, not a mathematical attack, and it is recorded as one so nobody later mistakes it for review: the hunt salvaged window_opt/ onto main and re-ran the arm's own code, so it shares every assumption the claim makes; what it does establish: moments_polyeven_exact(OPT_Q) recomputes F =…

k2-far-constant-depth1
the far-field constant 637/1000 does not survive at depth 1: sup Dam*(s^2-2)/y^2 measures 0.6636 > 0.637 there, so Wt_tail_le's 637/1000 is a correction any depth-1 argument must carry (K2-TWO-SPECIES.md section 2, 2026-08-15)
claimed by frontier_math two-species session (2026-08-15). the depth-1/2 scan gives 0.6220 < 0.637 and the depth-1 scan gives 0.6636 > 0.637, so the constant looked like it was being crossed as depth rose
rested on: the scanned range [8, 400] is the range on which 637/1000 is asserted (it is not: Wt_tail_le is stated for w = s^2-2 >= 1368, i.e. s >= 37.0135)
rested on: the failing constant belongs to Wt_tail_le (it does not: that lemma has no depth variable in its statement)
Fulcrum hunt R-A7C12F (run e09a7f8a, Claude Opus 5, 2026-08-23) (white-box) found: the claim is withdrawn: 637/1000 DOES survive at depth 1 on the range it is asserted on. An Arb pass at 96 bits over s in [37.0135, 400] with the depth as a thin ball gives sup Dam(1,s)*(s^2-2) <= 0.6317736, against 637/1000, margin +0.0052 (0.82%).

qrh-linnik-7/3
given OpenAI's Theorem 1.1 (no Dirichlet L-function vanishes in Re s > 7/8) and Chen-Gupta-Li's single-modulus zero-density estimate (arXiv:2507.08296v2, a preprint), the least prime p = a (mod q) with (a, q) = 1 satisfies p(q, a) <= C(eps) q^(7/3 + eps) for every modulus q and every class a, with C(eps) effective; on refereed density inputs alone the exponent is 12/5 (hunt #123, hunts/qrh_linnik/, PR #277, landed 2026-10-08). Grade: candidate, pending external review: an ordinary written proof that no person has reviewed, on an input whose argument no person has reviewed
claimed by hunt #123 session (qrh_linnik, branch hunt/qrh-linnik, 2026-10-08). a smoothed explicit formula with height cutoff a small power of x; the half-plane removes every zero above 7/8, so the Siegel zero, Deuring-Heilbronn repulsion and log-free density estimates drop out of the argument, and L is set by the single-modulus density exponent on [1/2, 7/8], which binds at sigma = 5/7 where Ingham's mean value bound meets CGL's q1^(1/3) term; CGL already state the conditional implication (Corollary 1.4), so nothing is claimed novel

qrh-class-number-1500
given OpenAI's Theorem 1.1 (no Dirichlet L-function has a zero with Re s > 7/8), h(D) >= sqrt|D| / (10 pi log log |D|) for every negative fundamental discriminant D, and L(1, chi_D) >= 1/(10 log log |D|) for every such D other than -3; hence the imaginary quadratic fields of class number h are exactly those the hunt's exact search finds, for every h <= 1500: 9 245 562 fields, the largest with |D| = 562 394 347 (hunt #124, hunts/qrh_class_number/, PR #279, landed 2026-10-08). Grade: candidate, pending external review: an ordinary written proof that no person has reviewed, every constant evaluated in Arb (enclosure-carrying), the lists by exact integer computation, on an input whose argument no person has reviewed
claimed by hunt #124 session (qrh_class_number, branch hunt/qrh-class-number, 2026-10-08). Littlewood's short Euler product with two Cesaro cutoffs, and Hadamard positivity for the zero sum with every zero charged at beta = 7/8, make L(1, chi_D) explicitly large; a verified interval cover gives D(h), and an exact reduced-form sieve without GRH then enumerates every fundamental discriminant below D(1500)

qrh-nonresidue-log8
given OpenAI's Theorem 1.1 (no Dirichlet L-function vanishes in Re s > 7/8), for every q >= 3 and every nonprincipal Dirichlet character chi mod q the least n with chi(n) not in {0, 1} is at most (log q)^8, and at most (0.7 log q)^8 for q >= 5; hence the least quadratic nonresidue mod every odd prime p is at most (log p)^8, and every odd composite n has a Miller-Rabin (strong) witness at most (0.7 log n)^8 (hunt #125, hunts/qrh_nonresidue/, PR #278, landed 2026-10-08). Grade: candidate, pending external review: an ordinary written proof that no person has reviewed, enclosure-carrying numerics, on an input whose argument no person has reviewed
claimed by hunt #125 session (qrh_nonresidue, branch hunt/qrh-nonresidue, 2026-10-08). a smoothed explicit formula with weight (n/x)^(1/4) log(x/n), the zero sum bounded through the Hadamard identity, so the exponent 1/(1 - 7/8) = 8 comes with constant 1 for every q >= 3; the exponent itself is classical (Rodosskii; Montgomery-Vaughan 13.12), the explicit constant and the all-moduli statement were not found in the search

qrh-ninth-powers
given OpenAI's Theorem 1.1 for zeta (zeta has no zero with Re s > 7/8), for every integer n >= 1 there is a prime p with n^9 < p < (n+1)^9; with it, a prime in (x, x + (1/2) x^(7/8) log x] for every real x >= e^8, and |psi(x) - x| < x^(7/8) (log x)^2 / (128 pi) for x >= e^10 (hunt #126, hunts/qrh_prime_powers/, PR #276, landed 2026-10-08). Grade: candidate, pending external review: ordinary written proofs that no person has reviewed, every numerical inequality decided in Arb (enclosure-carrying), small cases by Pratt certificates, on an input whose argument no person has reviewed
claimed by hunt #126 session (qrh_prime_powers, branch hunt/qrh-prime-powers, 2026-10-08). the exact explicit formula for a quadratic B-spline weight, sums over zeros bounded in closed form through explicit N(T), an Arb cover of 10 <= n <= e^100, an analytic tail and Pratt certificates for n <= 9; the gap (n+1)^k - n^k, about k x^(1 - 1/k), beats an error of size x^(7/8) (log x)^2 exactly when k >= 9, and without further input the chain fails at k = 8; qrh-seventh-powers inherits this weight, formula and base routine, so a defect found here bears on both
rested on: OpenAI, 'The Quasi-Riemann Hypothesis' (preprint dated 2026-09-30), Theorem 1.1: zeta and every Dirichlet L-function have no zero with Re s > 7/8.

qrh-seventh-powers
given QRH(7/8) for zeta (no nontrivial zero of zeta has real part above 7/8, the zeta part of OpenAI's Theorem 1.1) and Kadiri, Lumley and Ng's explicit zero-density rows (arXiv:2101.12263v1, Lemma 4.14 and Table 1), every integer n >= 1 has a prime strictly between n^7 and (n+1)^7; an eighth-power version on the same route is its audited predecessor (hunts/oct08_extensions/, PR #282, landed 2026-10-08). Grade: written conditional candidate: a written proof with every numerical step enclosure-carrying; an independent written audit by a separate agent context, of the author's model family, passed; reviewed by no person; not formalized in Lean; no worldwide priority claimed
claimed by oct08_extensions producer (Codex root; route prime_gap_density, 2026-10-08). bound x^(beta - 1) pointwise by x^(s0 - 1) plus positive increments times the indicators beta > s_j over the strips 3/4 < 0.8 < 0.85 < 0.86 < 0.87 < 7/8, so cumulative density upper bounds substitute without subtracting independently bounded counts; for log x >= 8 each increment decreases in x, so a cell takes the increments at its left end and the zero sums at its right; a single split at 0.85 already closes k = 8, and resolving the strips closes k = 7

oob-envelope-L1.19
for every real even f with supp f in [-1.19, 1.19] (support 2.38), Weil's form on the window satisfies Q(f) >= 5.7178e-48 ||f||^2; the route is the out-of-band envelope lemma: a correction to the Weil symbol at frequencies of size at least 2L leaves the form unchanged on the window, so the envelope constant in arXiv:2608.24827's one-stroke reduction can drop from sup P_L to sup (P_L - H) (hunts/oob_envelope/, PR #258, landed 2026-09-28). Grade: candidate, hardened by two independent implementations (sharing python-flint), resting on an ordinary derivation that passed the hunt's referee lane; even sector only; not kernel-checked; pending external verification
claimed by oob_envelope numerics and theory lanes (2026-09-27/28). |F|^2 is the Fourier transform of f * f~, supported in [-2L, 2L], so a bounded almost-periodic H whose frequencies all have size at least 2L integrates to zero against it; per prime the best out-of-band correction is a Caratheodory-Toeplitz problem, realised within a Fejer loss by a nonnegative kernel sum; with H = sine:16 the envelope constant at L = 1.19 falls from A_L = 7.0750 to 3.8634773 (envelope.json), which brings the matrix to N = 500 even Legendre modes

four-point-0.6728604
for every eps > 0 and all sufficiently large T, the number of simple zeros of zeta on the critical line with ordinate in (T, 2T] is at least ((14400000 H - 17240)/14366681 - eps) times the number of nontrivial zeros there, counted with multiplicity, where H = 3/2 - cot(1/sqrt 2)/sqrt 2; the coefficient is about 0.6728603588, from four-point pressure parameters (n, c, m, p) = (4, 2330/10^6, 432, 2500) (hunts/four_point_pressure/, PR #259, landed 2026-09-28). Grade: kernel-checked at the pinned revision 5522b963 by the laboratory's own build, pending external verification, not registered with Palomar
claimed by four_point_pressure sessions (candidate d28df5f9, 2026-09-05; Hermes repair and lab build at 5522b963, 2026-09-28). substituting c = 2330/10^6, m = 432, p = 2500 into the existing n-point bridge gives the coefficient (14400000 H - 17240)/14366681 exactly; the finite certificate is a generated tree of interval cell lemmas proved inside Lean, so the theorem carries no certificate hypothesis; the parameter floor was already tabulated in hunts/ainta_seven_point/FOUR-POINT.md, so the parameters are not a discovery

davenport-heilbronn-rung3
davenport_heilbronn_strip: some entire function with the Davenport-Heilbronn Dirichlet series and functional equation has a zero s with 0 < Re s < 1 and Re s != 1/2 (the witness is DH; it bundles dh_analytic_half and dh_zero_located; PR #353); dh_separation_hundred: paired with hunt #137, below height 100 the Davenport-Heilbronn function DH has a zero s with 0 < Re s < 1, 0 < Im s <= 100 and Re s != 1/2, and every zero of Mathlib's riemannZeta there has Re = 1/2; dh_zero_located: a zero of DH lies in the closed square of half-width 3/64 about 808517/10^6 + (21424837/250000) i; read with dh_analytic_half (lean/ZetaLean/DHAnalytic.lean), which makes DH entire with the DH Dirichlet series for Re s > 1 and its functional equation (hunt #145, hunts/rung3_ball_production/, PR #353, 2026-10-26). The assembly's theorem davenport_heilbronn : davenport_heilbronn_statement (lean/ZetaLean/DavenportHeilbronn.lean, line 129) is not part of the claim: the statement, as defined, is also met by the trivial zero s = -1 (lean/ZetaLean/DHTrivialZero.lean). Grade: kernel-checked at Lean v4.35.0-rc2 against Mathlib 065356127b1d, zero sorry, only propext, Classical.choice and Quot.sound, pending external verification
claimed by hunt #145 session (rung3_ball_production, branch hunt/rung3-ball-production, 2026-10-26). 215 site theorems (110 big boxes bounding ||DH|| <= 2.5499 on the big square's edges, 104 grid points bounding ||DH|| from below, the centre bounding it above) combine through norm_deriv_DH_le and DH_lower_on_hcell/vcell into the minimum-modulus square criterion of DHZeroCriterion.lean (restated in Support.lean); the zero is Spira's (1994), and the delta is its enclosure by the kernel
rested on: the 215 site oleans are what GitHub Actions run 40353536947 produced from scripts/60 --tower whole at 85cabd55b: each zip's SHA-256 equals GitHub's digest, and the pilot site's regenerated sources hash as its checkpoints record; the assembly imports them without re-checking their proofs. On 2026-10-27 a same-kernel fresh replay (leanchecker --fresh Rung3Assembly.Final, Lean's own kernel, which its docstring calls 'not an external verifier') re-checked the assembled closure's constants and accepted. The same day a second kernel, con-ron --verified, accepted the closure on a site-wise split with coverage shown (door 1 Stage B): its top shard checks the 18 final declarations abstracted over the 435 site theorems the assembly names (Rung3Glue.*, built by lean/ExportShard.lean and checked by Lean's kernel first), and the join of the 216 shards rests on kernel hashes of every exported declaration (shard_manifest.py), not on a single run
