Palomar, a registry for Lean-verified mathematics, is now accepting submissions of formalized proofs with automated checks.
Engineers and mathematicians can now submit Lean formalizations to a public registry that verifies typechecking and informal description matching. It provides a baseline check against AI-generated proofs that may be incorrect or contain cheats, though it is not a substitute for peer review.

Palomar checks that Lean proofs typecheck and match their informal claims using a mechanical tool and an LLM.
The registry is open for submissions of human, AI, or mixed proofs, with Terence Tao having submitted his Sendov's conjecture formalization.
Palomar is not peer-reviewed; it only verifies technical correctness and informal match, not novelty or interest.
