LaTeX conventions
- •Standard AMS theorem environments
- •Build:
cd thesis/ && latexmk(TeX Live 2023, pdflatex, latexmk, biber available)
Writing proofs
- •Every proof must be detailed enough for Jörn to verify by skimming
- •Annotate non-obvious steps: cite the specific theorem/lemma used, state why hypotheses are satisfied
- •Never gloss over gaps or handwave — if a step is non-trivial, say so explicitly
- •Agents cannot reliably verify mathematical proofs. Proof correctness requires Jörn's review. Agent-written proofs are drafts until Jörn reviews them.
