Adelic Harmonic Metrics on Line Bundles
Does every line bundle $M$ on $X$ have an admissible adelic metrization $\overline{M}$ whose metric at each place has harmonic curvature and satisfies $\overline{M}\cdot\omega^n=\lambda(M)\omega^{n+1}$, unique up to multiplication by a degree-zero element of $\operatorname{Div}(K)$?

[Discussion #4 literature review, 2026-09-29] **solved (yes)**. F. Jahnke (OWR 1/2016, p. 29, Question 2) asks whether (K,v) is NIP when K is an NIP field and v is a henselian valuation. The report itself answers the case where the residue field Kv is not separably closed (Cor. 12, p. 31).
[ "owr", "oberwolfach-reports", "OWR-14209-005", "literature-status:open", "owr-year:2016" ]
The question whether every henselian expansion with NIP residue field in the remaining imperfect or separably closed cases is NIP is not settled; the literature proves broad special cases and structural classifications only.

If $K$ is an NIP field and $v$ is a henselian valuation on $K$, must the valued field $(K,v)$ be NIP?
If K is an NIP field with a henselian valuation v, must the valued field (K,v) be NIP?

Hikita proves the Stanley–Stembridge conjecture by giving nonnegative elementary-symmetric-function coefficients for the chromatic quasisymmetric function of every unit interval graph. This covers the Hessenberg formulation in the record. **What remains.** The stated e-positivity question is resolved.

[Discussion #4 literature review, 2026-09-30] **solved (the implication is proved; answered in the source)**. U. Nagel (joint with D. Cook II, B. Harbourne and J. Migliore; OWR 14/2016, p. 685) states, as a corollary of their work, that if having multiplicity index k is a combinatorial property of sets of 2k + 1 points...

The implication from a combinatorial multiplicity-index property to Terao's conjecture is established, but the required property is not known in general, so the resulting route does not settle Terao's conjecture.

Detection Gaps Between Parametric and Kernel Tests
To what extent is the gap between the $n^{-1/2}$ detection boundary of the standard maximum-mean-discrepancy goodness-of-fit test and the $n^{-1}$ boundary typical of parametric tests intrinsic to nonparametric testing, rather than a consequence of the suboptimality of the standard statistic?

Can integrability of discrete variational systems be characterized by the pluri-Lagrangian property that a field on a multi-time space is critical for the action of a $d$-form on every $d$-dimensional multi-time manifold?
