What OpenAI claims
Proves equivariant Jiang–Su stability for every countable discrete amenable group action on a simple separable unital infinite-dimensional nuclear stably finite Jiang–Su-stable C∗-algebra, resolving this case of Szabó's conjecture without restrictions on trace dynamics. The family also proves the unital Toms–Winter conjecture, equating strict comparison, finite nuclear dimension and Jiang–Su stability in the simple separable unital infinite-dimensional nuclear setting.

Equivariant Jiang–Su Stability for Amenable Actions in the Unital Stably Finite Case
OpenAI's abstract Every action of a countable discrete amenable group on a simple, separable, unital, infinite-dimensional, nuclear, stably finite complex C∗-algebra that is already Jiang–Su stable absorbs the trivial action on the Jiang–Su algebra up to cocycle conjugacy. No restriction is imposed on the action on the tracial-state simplex. This proves the unital, stably finite case of Szabó's Conjecture A on automatic equivariant Jiang–Su stability.
Cuntz comparison and Jiang–Su absorption
OpenAI's abstract We prove that strict comparison in the extended-functional sense implies Jiang–Su absorption for separable simple nuclear non-elementary C∗-algebras. This resolves the corresponding implication of the Toms–Winter regularity problem, including nonunital algebras and allowing unbounded traces. More generally, every separable nuclear C∗-algebra whose Cuntz semigroup is almost unperforated and fully almost divisible absorbs the Jiang–Su algebra.
Nuclear dimension and Jiang–Su stability without elementary subquotients
OpenAI's abstract For separable nuclear C∗-algebras with no nonzero elementary ideal subquotients, finite nuclear dimension is equivalent to Jiang–Su stability. More generally, dimnuc(A0⊗𝒵) ≤ 1 for every separable nuclear A0. This proves Robert and Tikuisis's Conjecture (C1) and the nuclear-dimension equivalence in the nonsimple Toms–Winter regularity question.
Tracial projection methods and uniform property Gamma
OpenAI's abstract For a simple, separable, unital, infinite-dimensional, nuclear, stably finite C∗-algebra with traces, real rank zero of the uniform tracial ultrapower of its uniform tracial completion implies uniform property Γ. This answers Problem XXI of Schafhauser, Tikuisis and White affirmatively. Independently, strict comparison implies Jiang–Su absorption for simple, separable, unital, infinite-dimensional nuclear algebras, resolving the unital Toms–Winter conjecture. Under comparison tested on traces of finite target rank, we also obtain uniform property Γ and absorption for simple, separable, nuclear, stably projectionless algebras whose densely finite traces are all bounded and have a nonempty compact normalized base.
Status
Preprint. The papers have 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.
Quick answers
- Is it proven?
- Not independently yet. OpenAI posted 4 preprints, the latest dated 5 October 2026; it has not been peer reviewed, so treat the result as OpenAI's claim until other mathematicians have checked it.
- What exactly does OpenAI claim?
- Proves equivariant Jiang–Su stability for every countable discrete amenable group action on a simple separable unital infinite-dimensional nuclear stably finite Jiang–Su-stable C∗-algebra, resolving this case of Szabó's conjecture without restrictions on trace dynamics. The family also proves the unital Toms–Winter conjecture, equating strict comparison, finite nuclear dimension and Jiang–Su stability in the simple separable unital infinite-dimensional nuclear setting.
