Danus: Orchestrating Mathematical Reasoning Agents with Fact-Graph Memory

Jihao Liu, Guoxiong Gao, Zeming Sun et al.

Recent LLM-based mathematical reasoning agents have begun to tackle research-level problems and, in several cases, have contributed to the resolution of open problems. However, scaling and orchestrating such agents effectively remains challenging, due to the difficulty of coordinating parallel proof search while keeping intermediate claims organized and reliable. In this paper, we propose Danus, an orchestration system for research-level mathematical reasoning centered on a shared fact graph as a global memory-management mechanism. Danus consists of a main agent that performs planning and coordination, multiple worker agents that carry out proof search in parallel, and a stateless verifier that checks proposed mathematical claims before they are admitted into the fact graph. Each verified fact is stored together with its proof and logical dependencies, allowing the system to build long arguments incrementally while keeping the shared proof state organized. The main agent periodically summarizes the evolving proof state, redirects workers across promising directions, and supports interaction with human mathematicians through progress reports. We evaluate Danus through six research-level case studies in algebraic geometry, singularity theory, and combinatorics, illustrating how the fact-graph memory mechanism enables Danus to construct long, detailed mathematical proofs. Our results suggest that fact-graph-based orchestration provides an effective route toward scaling mathematical reasoning agents for long-horizon research problems. Danus is open source at https://github.com/frenzymath/Danus.

Tangent classes of matroids and wonderful compactifications

Ronnie Cheng, Shurui Liu, Guoxiong Gao

For every loopless matroid $M$ and every Feichtner--Yuzvinsky building set $\mathcal{G}$ containing the top flat, we construct an integral tangent class $T_{M,\mathcal{G}}^{\mathbb{Z}}\in K_{\mathbb{Z}}(M,\mathcal{G})$; in the realizable case it specializes to the class of the tangent bundle of the corresponding wonderful compactification, it recovers the Hilbert series of the Chow ring through Hirzebruch--Riemann--Roch, and it satisfies the expected Chern-alpha lower bounds. This reproduces the tangent class and its key properties studied by the first author in arXiv:2606.22650. The main body of this paper was produced autonomously, without human mathematical guidance, by Danus, an AI mathematical reasoning agent. Danus solved the problem before arXiv:2606.22650 was publicly available, demonstrating the potential of AI agents in mathematical research. We reproduce its output faithfully, adding only editorial comments; the experiment is documented in Appendix B.
