Conjecture

A precise mathematical claim for which a proof or disproof is sought.

Proof

A logically valid argument establishing a precisely stated conclusion from explicit assumptions.

Formalization

Encoding a statement and proof in a language a proof checker can verify.

Preprint

A research manuscript made public before or independently of journal peer review.

Lower / upper bound

A lower bound shows that a quantity can be at least a value; an upper bound rules out values above a limit.

Asymptotic

Describing behavior as a size parameter grows, rather than guaranteeing a useful finite-size threshold.

Reproducibility

Obtaining the stated result again with documented data, code, assumptions and environment.

Chain-of-thought faithfulness

Whether a verbal explanation accurately reflects the actual computation that produced an answer.
