For any compact simple gauge group $G$, prove that a non-trivial quantum Yang–Mills theory exists on $\mathbb{R}^4$ and satisfies the Wightman axioms (or an equivalent set), and that it has a mass gap $\Delta > 0$: the spectrum of the Hamiltonian has an isolated lowest eigenvalue at $0$ and no spectrum in $(0,\Delta)$.

Construct quantum Yang–Mills theory on R^4 rigorously, and prove it has a positive mass gap.
Yang–Mills theory is the mathematical backbone of the Standard Model, and lattice simulations agree with experiment to high precision. Nevertheless no construction of the continuum theory satisfying the axioms of quantum field theory exists in four dimensions. This is a Clay Millennium Prize problem, with the official ...
- Constructions exist in two and three spacetime dimensions (Glimm–Jaffe and successors). - Lattice gauge theory gives a well-defined regularised theory; controlling the continuum limit is the open step. - Numerical evidence for the mass gap is overwhelming, with lattice glueball masses computed to a few percent.
The mass gap explains why the nuclear force is short-ranged despite the gauge bosons being massless in the classical theory, and it is the rigorous content of confinement. A construction would also validate the constructive-field-theory programme in the physically relevant dimension.

A symmetric informationally complete positive operator-valued measure in dimension $d$ is a set of $d^2$ unit vectors $\{|\psi_j\rangle\}$ in $\mathbb{C}^d$ with $$|\langle \psi_j | \psi_k \rangle|^2 = \frac{1}{d+1} \quad \text{for all } j \ne k.$$ Conjecture: such a set exists for every $d \ge 2$, and can be taken as ...

Numerically found in every dimension tried, exactly constructed in many, and proved in none in general.
Posed by Gerhard Zauner in his 1999 thesis and independently rediscovered by Renes, Blume-Kohout, Scott and Caves. The problem has an unexpected connection to Hilbert's twelfth problem: the exact solutions generate abelian extensions of real quadratic fields, and work by Appleby, Flammia, Kopp and others has turned SIC...
- Exact solutions are known in dimensions $2$–$28$ and a scattered collection of larger dimensions, some found with high-precision numerics and then recognised algebraically. - Numerical solutions have been found in every dimension attempted, into the hundreds. - Kopp and collaborators have given conjectural exact cons...
SIC-POVMs are optimal measurements for quantum state tomography and minimal informationally complete measurements. Beyond quantum information, the number-theoretic reformulation makes this a rare problem where a physics question feeds directly into class field theory.
