ResearchMath-2-6Sol-HillClimb
1,694 open research-mathematics questions whose answer is a number you can make
incremental progress toward. A subset of
amphora/ResearchMath-2-6Sol-Rewrite
(numerical config), keeping only the two question types with a continuous target.
| config | rows | the answer is |
|---|---|---|
sharp_constant |
859 | the best constant in an inequality or bound |
critical_threshold |
835 | the critical value of a parameter where behaviour changes |
default |
1,694 | both |
Why these two types
Most open questions are binary — is there a counterexample? — and admit no partial credit. The questions here instead ask for a value, so every improvement on the best known bound is real, measurable progress:
- Sharp constant. "What is the supremum of the constants $c>0$ such that every graph with $\alpha^(G)<m$ contains a $K_{\lfloor cn/\sqrt m\rfloor}$-minor?"* — each proof that a larger $c$ works (or a construction showing a smaller $c$ fails) narrows the answer.
- Critical threshold. "What is $\inf{c>\sqrt{\log 2} : S_c \text{ has asymptotic density } 0}$?" — each result pushing the proven threshold down moves toward the conjectured value.
Conjectured endpoints
has_conjectured_endpoint is true for 667 rows (195 sharp-constant, 472 critical-threshold),
where the source paper conjectures the answer and distinguished_value records it. For these,
progress can be measured as the remaining gap to a known target. The rest have an open target
with no conjectured value.
⚠️ Progress is not automatically checkable
A continuous target does not by itself give a cheap reward signal. What matters is how progress is verified, and that depends on direction:
- By construction — exhibiting an explicit graph, sequence or example — progress can be checked by computer.
- By proof — showing a statement holds for every object — progress needs a proof checker (e.g. Lean) or a human.
For a sharp constant, the valuable direction (showing a larger constant works) is usually a proof, while the opposite direction (a counterexample showing a constant fails) is usually a construction. Critical-threshold questions about asymptotic behaviour typically need proofs in both directions. Construction-verifiable questions are the cheap-reward subset and are likely concentrated in combinatorics; this dataset does not yet label which is which.
⚠️ There are no answer keys
These are open problems taken from future-work and open-problem statements. Their answers are,
by construction, not known. distinguished_value is a conjecture from the source paper, not a
verified answer.

Caveats
- Reformatting can strengthen the problem. Asking for the best constant is strictly harder than asking whether some constant works, which is often what the source asked.
- Some source statements are mis-transcribed. A literature search over a sample of the parent dataset found ~8% of questions where the source paper dropped a hypothesis or had a typo, making the literal question degenerate. That search covered few questions in this subset, so such items may remain here.
- A small number of
arxiv_idvalues are wrong, inherited from the source corpus.
