Microsoft Research solved the 31-year-old Kannan-Lovász-Simonovits (KLS) conjecture in high-dimensional geometry using a human-directed agentic AI process. The breakthrough establishes a universal geometric principle for log-concave distributions and has been confirmed through independent validation and machine-checked formal verification.

    • AI agents assisted humans in solving the KLS conjecture by exploring, pruning, and redirecting the search space
    • The study establishes a universal geometric principle for log-concave distributions, showing simple flat cuts capture narrowest bottlenecks within a fixed factor
    • Results were validated by multiple independent researchers and underwent machine-checked formal verification
