Breakthrough Tracker record

Specialists give a concise preprint proof of Brennan's conjecture

Binder, Ivrii, Prause and Smirnov prove the universal integral-means bound B_b(t) at most t squared over 4 for t between minus 2 and 2, which yields Brennan's integrability range 4/3 less than p less than 4.

AI role

The authors developed the concise proof while checking OpenAI manuscripts on Brennan's and Kraetzer's conjectures. The published argument is a human-authored specialist validation of an AI-originated route.

Why it matters

Brennan's conjecture is a long-standing problem in geometric function theory. Four specialists independently reconstructed a short mathematical route instead of merely repeating an institutional claim.

Limits

The note is not peer reviewed. It announces a stricter interior inequality but defers those details to a later paper, so the tracker does not treat that stronger statement as established here or generalize this validation to the rest of the OpenAI catalogue.
