The three-dimensional Ising model on the cubic lattice Z^3 with nearest-neighbor ferromagnetic coupling J > 0 and Hamiltonian H = -J sum_{<i,j>} sigma_i sigma_j (where sigma_i in {-1, +1}) is known to exhibit a phase transition at some critical inverse temperature beta_c in (0, infinity). While the existence of a phase...
The Ising model describes magnetic spins on a lattice that prefer to align with their neighbors. In two dimensions, Onsager found an exact solution in 1944. In three dimensions, we know a phase transition occurs (the material becomes magnetic below a critical temperature), but we cannot prove the precise mathematical n...

The additivity conjecture for quantum channel capacity, in its strongest form, asserted that the minimum output entropy S_min(Phi) = min_{rho} S(Phi(rho)) of a quantum channel Phi is additive under tensor products: S_min(Phi_1 tensor Phi_2) = S_min(Phi_1) + S_min(Phi_2) for all channels Phi_1, Phi_2.

When we send classical information through a quantum channel, can we always compute the maximum transmission rate (classical capacity) from a single use of the channel, or do we need to consider entangled inputs across many channel uses?

Does there exist a mathematically consistent, background-independent quantum theory that reduces to general relativity in the classical limit and to quantum field theory in the weak-gravity limit? More precisely, construct a quantum theory satisfying the following: (1) the theory possesses a well-defined Hilbert space ...
General relativity describes gravity as the curvature of spacetime, and quantum mechanics describes the behavior of particles at the smallest scales. Both theories are extraordinarily successful, but they are fundamentally incompatible: attempts to combine them using standard techniques produce nonsensical infinities. ...

Construct a non-trivial (interacting) quantum field theory in four spacetime dimensions that satisfies the Wightman axioms or the Osterwalder-Schrader axioms. The theory should have a well-defined Hilbert space, field operators as operator-valued distributions, a unitary representation of the Poincare group, and satisf...
Despite the enormous success of quantum field theory in physics, no one has ever rigorously constructed a single interacting quantum field theory in the physical four-dimensional spacetime. Can this be done for any model?

The cosmic censorship conjecture, proposed by Roger Penrose in 1969, comes in two forms. The Weak Cosmic Censorship Conjecture (WCCC) states that for generic asymptotically flat initial data for the Einstein equations satisfying appropriate energy conditions, the maximal Cauchy development possesses a complete future n...
When a massive star collapses under its own gravity, general relativity predicts that a singularity (a point of infinite density) forms. The cosmic censorship conjecture says that such singularities are always hidden inside black holes and can never be "naked" (visible to distant observers). The strong version addition...

Prove the cosmic no-hair conjecture: all initially expanding cosmological solutions of the Einstein equations with a positive cosmological constant Lambda > 0 and satisfying the strong and dominant energy conditions asymptotically approach the de Sitter solution as t -> infinity. More precisely, prove that for generic ...
Does every expanding universe with a positive cosmological constant eventually look like de Sitter space (exponentially expanding, empty space)? This conjecture suggests that the cosmological constant dominates all other forms of matter and energy at late times.

OpenProblemAtlas: Open Problems Dataset

A structured, machine-readable dataset of unsolved problems in mathematics, theoretical computer science, and mathematical physics.

Why This Dataset?

Existing math benchmarks (MATH, GSM8K, MiniF2F) contain solved problems. This dataset contains unsolved problems -- the frontier of human knowledge.

Use it to:

  • Benchmark AI theorem proving systems on problems with unknown answers
  • Train models to understand the structure of open problems
  • Build tools for mathematical research navigation

Dataset Structure

Each problem includes:

  • id: Unique identifier (e.g., opa.mathematics.number-theory.collatz-conjecture)
  • title: Canonical title
  • domain: mathematics / theoretical-cs / mathematical-physics
  • statement_canonical: Formal problem statement
  • statement_informal: Accessible description
  • status: open / partially_solved / solved / disproved
  • tier: tier_1 (machine-ready) / tier_2 / tier_3
  • verification_profile: statement precision, solution checkability, machine actionability
  • scores: impact, underexplored, toolability, formality, ai_fit (0-1)
  • full_yaml: Complete problem metadata in YAML format

Quick Start

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("OpenProblemAtlas/open-problems")

# Filter for machine-actionable problems
tier1 = ds.filter(lambda x: x["tier"] == "tier_1")

# Find high-impact underexplored problems
gems = ds.filter(lambda x: x["impact"] > 0.7 and x["underexplored"] > 0.5)
