The main harmonic-analysis theorem was formally verified in Lean 4 with Mathlib by AI coding agents; the proof is published on GitHub.
We prove Lebesgue space estimates for a curved three-dimensional simplex Hilbert transform associated with the moment curve $t \mapsto (t,t^2,t^3)$. The analysis relies on smoothing inequalities for curved multilinear averages and on estimates for a three-dimensional anisotropic variant of the twisted paraproduct. The result has been formally verified in Lean 4.

The goal is to prove Lebesgue space bounds for a curved three-dimensional simplex Hilbert transform along the moment curve t ↦ (t, t², t³). This is a curved analogue of the simplex Hilbert transform, whose boundedness is a major open problem.

The operator is decomposed with Littlewood–Paley methods into two parts. The first is handled by smoothing inequalities for curved multilinear averages, building on Kosz–Mirek–Peluse–Wan–Wright. The second is a three-dimensional anisotropic twisted paraproduct, bounded via cone decompositions, tree localization, Cauchy–Schwarz, telescoping identities, Brascamp–Lieb inequalities and stopping-time arguments. AI coding agents formally verified the result in Lean 4 using Mathlib.

The operator is bounded from L^{p1}×L^{p2}×L^{p3} to L^p for p in (1, 4/3), p_i in (1, 4) with Hölder scaling. The proof is machine-checked in Lean 4 and available on GitHub.
