What OpenAI claims
Resolves the odd-primary Kervaire invariant problem at the prime three: exactly the standard classes with indices 0, 2, and 3 survive in the mod-three Adams spectral sequence, in stems 10, 106, and 322. Each surviving detection coset contains an element of exact additive order three.
Paper
The Kervaire invariant problem at the prime three
We solve the Kervaire invariant problem at the prime three for the standard Kervaire classes in the mod-three Adams spectral sequence. These classes survive precisely at indices 0, 2, and 3, and each surviving detection coset contains an element of additive order three. In particular, there is an order-three Kervaire element in stem 322.
Status
Preprint. The paper has not been independently reviewed. Treat the result as OpenAI's claim until other mathematicians have checked it. If a video exists, it illustrates the statement; it is not the proof.
