[Discussion #4 literature review, 2026-09-30] **partially_solved**. Y. Diao (OWR 22/2013, §6 of his abstract and problem-session item (3), p. 1354) asks whether ropelength is O(Cr(K)) for every knot, whether infinitely many knots grow faster, and whether alternating knots have a lower bound linear in Cr(K). The last is...

Let $M^{2n}$ be a polyhedral Kähler manifold. Does its flat complex structure away from the metric singularities extend across all of $M$, making $M$ a normal complex analytic variety whose complex singularities have codimension $3$?
Complex conjecture: if M^{2n} is a polyhedral Kaehler manifold, its flat complex structure away from the metric singularities extends over all of M so that M becomes a normal complex analytic variety with complex singularities in codimension 3.

The rational-point problem is solved for the Borel and split-Cartan cases in the required large-prime range, while the corresponding nonsplit-Cartan rational-point problem remains a central obstruction to uniformity; hence the combined problem is only partially solved.

This record restates the conjecture represented more fully by OWR-12592-004. No separate clean statement is promoted; the original record remains ...

Checked against the official Oberwolfach report. The source presents the implication as a standard explanatory step establishing stationarity and initial-condition stability, not as an unresolved problem.
