Two Oak Park High School students solve unsolved Lorentzian polynomial problem using AI assistants Claude Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol, advancing Fields Medalist June Huh's work in 75-page arXiv paper under UCLA postdoc guidance.

Internet Shocked: Unsolved Problem by Fields Medalist Breached by Two High School Students with AI

marsbitPublished on 2026-09-14Last updated on 2026-09-14AbstractIn a remarkable breakthrough, two high school students from Oak Park High School, Aayush Bathija and Prince Rohatgi, with guidance from UCLA postdoctoral researcher Daniel Soskin, have solved an open problem related to the theory of Lorentzian polynomials—a field pioneered by Fields Medalist June Huh. Their 75-page paper, "Bounded Ratios for Lorentzian Polynomials," is now available on arXiv. The research investigates the constraint...
