Jacobian conjecture counterexample

Model / AI: Claude Fable 5

Levent Alpöge and Claude Fable 5 produced an explicit three-dimensional map disproving the characteristic-zero conjecture; checking it is a short computation, confirmed by Tao and others, and formalized in Lean by Lezeau against a conjecture statement written down before any counterexample existed. Gao later gave counterexamples in every dimension above two. The two-dimensional case stays open.
