Precise statement

The total Chern class of $\mathrm{Sym}^d(\mathbb{C}^n)$ as a torus representation is a symmetric polynomial whose coefficients were conjectured positive, with a binomial log-concavity refinement. Both are established.

The source statement is reproduced for indexing with attribution. Mathematical correctness requires domain-expert or mechanical review. VibeMath has not independently audited statement fidelity, correctness, priority, or novelty.

What AI did

AlphaEvolve, ChatGPT 5.5 Pro

The paper calls itself a case study in synchronized AI-assisted mathematics and separates the two roles: AlphaEvolve served first as a searching engine and later as what the authors call a detective for structural recurrences, including a section-long account of one conjecture; ChatGPT 5.5 Pro acted as an interactive assistant for symbolic derivations.
