back to reviewErdős Problem #266 has been DISPROVED (a counterexample is known). Statement: Let $a_n$ be an infinite sequence of positive integers such that $\sum \frac{1}{a_n}$ converges. There exists some integer $t \ge 1$ such that $\sum \frac{1}{a_n + t}$ is irrational. This was disproven by Kovač and Tao in [KoTa24]. [KoTa24] Kovač, V. and Tao T., On several irrationality problems for Ahmes series. [arXiv:2406.17593](https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.17593) (2024). Topics: irrationality. Erdős prize: no. Statement is machine-verified in Lean (formal-conjectures). OEIS: N/A.

vf_70eb839910df9449Read-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.
