Precise statement

The near-quadratic Elekes-Ronyai expander conjecture over $\mathbb{R}$ predicts that a nonspecial polynomial expands any finite set to near-quadratic size. False: a fixed nonspecial quadratic polynomial, together with arbitrarily large finite sets of real algebraic integers, has image with a fixed power saving from quadratic size.

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

ChatGPT 5.5 Pro, Rethlas

The abstract states that the main result was obtained by generative AI, particularly ChatGPT 5.5 Pro and the Rethlas system. The proof builds on a recent OpenAI construction of an infinite tower, so this is an AI result standing on another AI result.
