The Huang-Jiang-Oblomkov Conjecture at a = 3

partialconfidence 70%

VibeMathed reports this item as partial. VibeMath preserves that report as a source assertion and has not independently authored a plain-language mathematical explanation.

Precise statement

Huang, Jiang and Oblomkov conjectured that the Eulerian $q$-series counting commuting pairs of nilpotent matrices with $X^a = Y^b$ equals an explicit theta-and-eta product, making the point count essentially modular. The conjecture is layered in $a$; the $a = 2$ layer is classical, including Rogers-Ramanujan and Andrews-Gordon. Nothing was known for $a = 3$. That layer is now proved in full, yielding a new infinite family of Rogers-Ramanujan identities and a geometric origin for Warnaar's products.

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

AxiomProver

The mathematics is the authors'; AxiomProver supplied the formal certificate. "AxiomProver, an AI system currently under development, was used to generate this certificate. The system verified these results in Lean assuming existing literature."

Verification boundary

lean checked statement unaudited

The Lean certificate is explicitly conditional, verifying the new identities assuming results from the existing literature rather than from first principles, and the system that produced it also produced the formal statements. Public at the AxiomMath repository.
