On Proof, Understanding, and Artificial Intelligence

From photon interference and the permanent to hafnians, including my results on both uniform hiding and local anticoncentration.

From chess and AI coding to scientific discovery: why verification matters, what Lean checks, and how I would organize research with AI and formal proofs.

A PDF, an overnight argument, and two days learning the geometry behind a problem that had resisted me for months.

From the lowest-hanging Erdős problems to research at machine speed—and the question of what theoretical researchers should value next.
