The other five are Tianchi Yang's count of C₄-free graphs, Kolpakov's sharp dimension bounds for right-angled hyperbolic polytopes, the generalized Lax conjecture (Kummer–Netzer's AI-found generic case and OpenAI's counterexample), Diening–Storn's AFEM optimality for every bulk parameter, and an unverified GPT-6 Astra claim on Onsager's hard rods.
