Sabok's S-Prime Simplex Questions

Sabok asked whether the compact convex set S′(X)S'(X) attached to a separable metric space of diameter at most one is always a simplex, and whether S′(U1)S'(\mathbb{U}_1) is the Poulsen simplex. Both answers are negative, with obstructions already visible for finite XX and for the Urysohn space.

What the AI did

The acknowledgement says the authors used GPT-based large language models to generate and compare possible proof strategies. Same authors as the Baker anti-Bertini entry in this catalog.

Verification

arXiv preprint; not yet peer-reviewed. Lean formalization available, but not yet audited by a third party.
