# AutoGraphForge Automates Graph Theory Discovery with AI

AutoGraphForge pipeline automates graph-theoretic conjecturing and proving using AI and Lean 4.

Researchers developed AutoGraphForge, a computational pipeline for automated graph-theoretic conjecturing, refuting, formalizing, and proving. [^1]

The repository PrimeGaps186 contains a Lean 4 formalization of the result that the limit inferior of the gap between consecutive primes is at most 186. [^2]

A novelty filter of 559 classical and folklore relations decides via a linear program whether a candidate conjecture is already implied by known results. [^3]

Surviving candidates are tested against a dataset of about 348,000 graphs, which includes the House of Graphs invariant export and exhaustive censuses of connected graphs on at most nine vertices. [^4]

The pipeline yielded 6,522 conjectures that survived the refutation dataset, novelty filter, and active-search runs. [^5]

The author states that the mathematical estimates and numerical computations have not been turned into Lean proofs of those inputs, meaning the result remains conditional. [^6]

The axiom PrimeGap186.kloosterman3_bound assumes $|	ext{Kl}_3(c;p)| 
eq 3$ for every prime $p$ and all $c 
eq 0$, a result attributed to Nicholas M. Katz. [^7]
