A First Proof Sprint
arXiv:2602.13587v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This monograph reports a multi-agent proof sprint on ten research-level problems, combining rapid draft generation with adversarial verification, targeted repair, and explicit provenance. The workflow uses wiring-diagram decompositions of claim dependencies to localize gaps and coordinate reviewer-driven revisions. Final outcomes are heterogeneous but explicit: the manuscript distinguishes mathematical status from QC-validation status. Mathematically, Problem~3 has a validation-complete existence path under the scoped criterion used here (uniqueness/irreducibility treated as optional), Problem 5 is solved in a scope-limited form for $F_O$-local connective spectra, Problem 10 is conditional under clearly stated assumptions (with explicit necessity counterexamples when assumptions are dropped), and Problems 4 and 6 are partial with named remaining obligations in the general case (including an unconditional $K_n$ result for Problem 6 with $

Problem 7 is treated as provisionally closed via the rotation-route theorem chain, pending independent ledger re-check. At the QC layer, Problems~7 and~9 have node-level validation artifacts but still contain unresolved verifier gaps. The main methodological result is that structure-aware verification and layer-switching strategies improve reliability and calibration in compressed proof sprints.
Executive Summary
This monograph presents a novel approach to multi-agent proof sprints, combining rapid draft generation with adversarial verification and targeted repair. The methodology utilizes wiring-diagram decompositions to localize gaps and coordinate revisions, resulting in heterogeneous but explicit outcomes. The study reports partial or complete solutions to several research-level problems, with notable mathematical and QC-validation status. The main methodological result highlights the effectiveness of structure-aware verification and layer-switching strategies in improving reliability and calibration in compressed proof sprints.
