back to reviewErdős Problem #16 has status 'disproved (lean)'. Statement: Is the set of odd integers not of the form $2^k+p$ the union of an infinite arithmetic progression and a set of density $0$? Erdős called this conjecture "rather silly". Chen [Ch23] has proved the answer is no. This was formalized in Lean by Chin using Aristotle. Topics: number theory, additive basis, primes. Erdős prize: no. Statement is machine-verified in Lean (formal-conjectures). OEIS: A006285.

vf_377ba211ef539d40Read-only frontier; diff not recomputed.
Erdős problems frontier receives a reviewable source, finding, caveat, replication, evaluation, or proof-affecting edit.
The packet names affected record objects, evidence, rationale, reviewer-facing fields, and expected proof impact.
Schema, provenance, benchmark, contradiction, and proof checks decide whether the request is ready to read.
A steward accepts, rejects, caveats, revises, or retracts the request under an inspectable identity.
Only the accepted event mutates frontier state. Atlases, constellations, and search update from that record state.
