ProbXiv, a public ledger for open mathematics

probxiv.com ↗ · Oddly Specific · score 84.0
Open: public page gives enough substance to understand the site $Paid: pricing, booking, ecommerce, subscription, or paid access is visible ADAds: visible ad load or ad-supported content Pretty: notable design, copy, craft, or presentation Pro: polished, finished-feeling, serious, or operationally mature Niche: specific audience, workflow, or unusually focused use case Human: personal, local, community, civic, handmade, or real-person signal !Suspicious: scammy, spammy, trust theater, finance fog, or credibility concern

An open workspace where mathematicians post problems, proposed work, formalizations, and checks of whether the work holds.

Why it surfaced

ProbXiv puts Erdős and Kourovka problems beside Lean formalizations, computational claims, and model judgements—and asks readers to check whether the formalization matches. Its sharpest editorial rule is also its most important: “a machine judgement is never counted as a human one.”

The Plotter’s 09:30 Shift

August 18’s newborn domains include an obsolete pen plotter clocking in at 09:30, emergency warnings designed for sight, touch, or hearing, a funeral-folder tool calibrated for printer drift, and photographs of Colombian rental signs turned into a housing map.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-18 Domain Arrivals issue.
