VibeMathed record: Makeev's conjecture on universal cover

specialist registry · passed

Checked by this site on 17 August 2026: the repository is real and unusually substantial - 596 files across four independently-built verification approaches (Magma certificates, interval-arithmetic C++, tensor-polynomial certificates, Python numerics), plus the full prompts and chat transcripts, and the problem-record links verify (Makeev's conjecture in arXiv:math/9809165, Handbook chapter 21). The certificates were not run here. The submitter reports a preliminary check by two students, which is private checking, not independent review - Unreviewed stands.
