I would be genuinely very impressed - but still not scared - if the Riemann hypothesis were solved. I suspect that we may require “new math” to make progress on that. If a new operator / symbol is required, is that fundamentally not doable by an LLM because it’s outside of current tokenization space?

Obviously not, there's no need to create a new character for a new operation. You can just define it as @ or or any other symbol you want.
