An experimental AI-math challenge: using tenth discriminant bounds to explore arguments ruling out Siegel zeroes

·Terry Tao··

In the spirit of my recent “Math 2.0” talk on new ways to use AI assistance to enhance the human understanding of mathematics, rather than substitute for it, I am using this post to propose an experimental challenge, inspired by the recent activity around excluding Landau–Siegel zeroes, as discussed in this previous post. There is a well-known connection between Landau–Siegel zeroes and the tenth discriminant problem, which I will briefly recall here; an in-depth discussion on this problem can b...
