Solved Is a Loaded Word: How AI Mathematical Claims Actually Get Certified

01What 'solved' means in mathematics: conjecture, proof, and certification

02The generation problem: how LLMs propose candidate proofs and why most fail

03Formalization: translating informal argument into Lean-compatible statements

04The kernel: how a proof assistant certifies every step mechanically

05Where the time actually goes: generation versus formalization versus checking

06Limits: what formal verification cannot yet cover and where trust still leaks in

07Implications: what a certification pipeline changes about AI-discovery claims
