Abstract in brief

The paper constructs a nontrivial pure Yang–Mills Wightman theory on ℝ⁴ for every compact connected non-abelian gauge group with simple Lie algebra, including its distinct finite central quotients. The construction produces a unique invariant vacuum and a strictly positive Hamiltonian mass gap.

Its route is constructive and same-family: Wilson lattice measures, multiscale flow, continuum Euclidean limits, Osterwalder–Schrader reconstruction, Yang–Mills identification, and spectral coercivity are carried within one dependency chain.

Development provenance

Developed primarily with GPT‑5.

GPT‑5 performed much of the exploratory, drafting, integrative, and adversarial work under Leslie P. Polzer’s research direction. That role is disclosed because it is material to how the proof was produced.

The disclosure is not an argument for correctness. The manuscript makes no appeal to model authority: its claims must stand as mathematics and survive independent expert review.

Why review is visible here

A major claim should invite exacting scrutiny.

“Under review” describes the publication process, not the ambition of the result. The site states the theorem directly while keeping acceptance and independent validation distinct from authorship of the proof.
