Kadison–Kastler Conjecture for Separable $C^*$-Algebras
For a separable Hilbert space $H$, does there exist $\delta>0$ such that every pair of separable $C^*$-algebras $A,B\subset B(H)$ with $d(A,B)<\delta$ are spatially isomorphic?

Does there exist a minimal ordered structure or group that is not almost linear?
unrecoverable
The official report contains one existence question beyond almost linearity, and this extraction duplicates the preceding canonical record from the same report. No separate clean statement is promoted; the original record remains publicly visible and retained for provenance.

Given n points in \mathbb{R}^d with maximum pairwise distance 1, form the diameter graph by joining pairs at distance 1. For every n\ge d+1, is the maximum number of (d-1)-dimensional simplices in this graph equal to n?
corrected_verified
The official report states Schur’s conjecture and notes that it is proved for dimension three but open for all other dimensions. The clean statement isolates the unresolved range and names the diameter graph to avoid a dangling reference.

Conjecture: the ideal R generated by the stated dual-graph contributions is the ideal of tautological relations on \mathcal M_{g,n}; its restrictions give analogous conjectures, and all known relations are linear combinations of these.

Endpoint Regularity for $p$-Laplacian Gradients
For $p$-harmonic functions in dimensions $n\geq3$, can one construct higher-dimensional analogues of the planar least-regular examples and determine their optimal gradient regularity? In particular, does $V(\nabla u)=|\nabla u|^{(p-2)/2}\nabla u$ belong locally to $C^{1/2}$ in every dimension?

Determine the endpoint and finer regularity of p-Laplacian solutions as q\to\infty, including whether V(\nabla u)=|\nabla u|^{(p-2)/2}\nabla u belongs locally to C^{1/2} in every dimension.

The official open-problem session asks for higher-dimensional analogues of the planar construction and explicitly conjectures local $C^{1/2}$ regularity of $V(\nabla u)$.

Prove or disprove that the Gabor system G(g,\Lambda_3) is a frame.

Li--Szegedy's converse that an induced subtree retracting from H must be smooth in H has known special cases, but the checked primary literature still presents the general statement as a conjecture.

Let $T$ be an induced subtree of a bipartite graph $H$. If $H$ retracts onto $T$, meaning that there is a graph homomorphism $H\to T$ whose restriction to $T$ is the identity, then $T$ is smooth in $H$ in the sense of Li and Szegedy.
Li--Szegedy conjecture: if T is an induced subtree of a bipartite graph H and H retracts to T, meaning there is a graph homomorphism H to T restricting to the identity on T, then T is smooth in H in the Li--Szegedy sense.

The extracted record contains strictness questions for finite beta-invariant inequalities; the checked literature develops these invariants and related bounds but does not settle either strictness question in the stated generality.

For graph sequences, can the inequality beta_Q(G) greater than or equal to beta_{F_p}(G) be strict; can the cost bound beta_K(G)+1 less than or equal to c(G) be strict; and for a finitely generated residually finite group with a Farber chain, does the rank gradient depend on the chain or only on the group?
