The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded the University of Connecticut $249,928 on September 1, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop a rigorous framework for collaboration between mathematicians and artificial intelligence systems to accelerate mathematical discovery in number theory and combinatorics. The project establishes a four-phase iterative workflow: generating and curating large datasets of complex number-theoretic and combinatorial objects; applying machine-learning methods to detect non-obvious patterns; interpreting trained AI model decision logic and translating it into precise mathematical conjectures and algorithms; and validating claims through rigorous mathematical proof. The work transforms patterns detected by AI into understandable, verified mathematical statements and produces reproducible methodologies applicable to other data-intensive scientific fields. Datasets, software, and educational resources developed will be made publicly available. The project strengthens connections between mathematics and AI communities through biweekly virtual seminars, summer schools, conferences, and research opportunities for students and early-career researchers. Performance occurs at the University of Connecticut's Storrs campus through August 31, 2029. The award is classified as a Project Grant.
