VibeMathed reports this item as resolved. VibeMath preserves that report as a source assertion and has not independently authored a plain-language mathematical explanation.
Let $T_k$ be the least $t$ such that every equinumerous $t$-coloring of $[tn]$ contains a rainbow $k$-term arithmetic progression. Jungic, Licht, Mahdian, Nesetril and Radoicic conjectured $T_k = \Theta(k^2)$; Conlon, Fox and Sudakov proved $T_k = O(k^2 \log k)$. The matching lower bound $T_k = \Omega(k^2 \log k)$ holds, so $T_k = \Theta(k^2 \log k)$ and the conjectured order is wrong.
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.
The acknowledgement says the two systems were used for proof exploration, proof criticism, exposition and revision. Proof exploration and criticism are mathematical work rather than prose work, but no specific step is attributed, so the lowest tier applies.
