Challenges in AI Autoformalization of Navier-Stokes Proofs via Lean Verification
The paper argues that Lean verification of AI-generated mathematical proofs does not guarantee correctness in natural language due to semantic translation challenges. It shows that resolving ambiguities in mathematical texts for accurate formalization is computationally intractable, as it lies at the top of the Solvability Complexity Index hierarchy, with examples like OpenAI's flawed Navier-Stokes proof.
