Human intake

Submit a claim

Start with the proof checks. They may find a known barrier or a useful small test before anyone spends time on a full review.

What to send

  • A stable link to the exact paper or manuscript version.
  • The version date and a SHA-256 hash, if you have one.
  • Whether the claim is P = NP, P ≠ NP, or another result.
  • A short account of the main new step and the gates it clears.
  • An email address for questions about the record.

Email the Register intake.

What happens next

  1. A human checks that the claim and version can be pinned.
  2. The record is checked against the submission rules and first gates.
  3. A human decides whether to register it, ask for more evidence, or decline it.
