No, they asked if they could do a joint publish.

No, they asked one guy to do a joint publish conditioned on leaving the other collaborator out, with veiled threats. The joint publish part smells awfully like admission of guilt given there’s absolutely no reason to do it if you believe you independently arrived at the result using only public prior work. The leaving out collaborator part is outright academic malpractice. Disclosure: I was an academic once.
To add: with a requirement that he rewrite the proof to credit OpenAI.
