Mysticflounder 2026 shared radius residual
mysticflounder_2026_shared_radius_residual: Complete cached proof announcement and later edit, retaining the residual, the author's qualifications, and the limits of this source version.
mysticflounder, Erdős Problem 97 forum post 7604, 14 July 2026, 17:08 (timezone unspecified in the preserved record). Source post. The shared-radius-residual title used for this source home is descriptive, not a title supplied by the author. The complete post transcription retains the original announcement, its qualifications, linked residual description, invitation to collaborate, and later edit.
The opening describes a proof as closed modulo one shared-radius pair residual in a two-large-cap configuration, and expresses hope of announcing a solution soon. Thus even this announcement is conditional. The undated edit says the remaining work was less tractable than expected, marks the gist out of date, and directs readers to the public repository for the proof's current status.
The problem page records this qualification of the optimistic announcement, not a documented retraction of a completed published proof. No argument for the residual is supplied in the retained post. The gist and external repository were not acquired or inspected, and this source does not establish their later status or an accepted resolution.
The capture's retrieval date and the edit timestamp are not supplied by this record; no live access is claimed. The transcription is the retained source artifact, not a mathematical checker input.
Bears on. Problem 97: provenance for the qualified earlier announcement only; no result, proof standing or status change.
