The generating functions for planar Eulerian orientations are known, but the report explicitly leaves open a bijective proof of equinumerosity with the corresponding bicoloured trees. Later refined enumerations do not supply that bijection.

Explain how surprising Wilf-equivalences are in natural universes of finite structures; in particular, determine whether exponential Wilf-collapse is the typical behaviour and thereby explain the prevalence of Wilf-equivalent objects.

The proposed uniform full-twist presentation for pure braid groups is proved in several Coxeter types, including A, B, D, H3, I2(m), and F4, but remains open for the remaining exceptional types; the universal claim is therefore open.

Let $W$ be a finite reflection group with pure braid group $P_c(W)$, let $T$ be the set of squares of the reflection generators, and let $\Delta$ be the full twist. Is $$P_c(W)=\langle T:\operatorname{Red}_T(\Delta)\rangle$$ a presentation for every finite reflection group?
For a finite reflection group W with pure braid group P_c(W), prove or disprove the uniform presentation P_c(W)=\langle T:\operatorname{Red}_T(\Delta)\rangle, where T consists of the squares of the reflection generators and \Delta is the full twist.

Is every finite extension of a decidable field necessarily decidable?
unrecoverable
The official report answers the question negatively by constructing a decidable field with an undecidable finite extension, so the extraction is not an unresolved problem. No separate clean statement is promoted; the original record remains publicly visible for provenance.

Given a field k, independent variables a_1,\ldots,a_n, K=k(a_1,\ldots,a_n), and an explicit finite separable extension L/K, can one compute the Galois group of the Galois closure of L over K?

For the Lodha--Moore groups, is the kernel of the natural map to \mathbb Z of type F^{\infty}? More broadly, can the family of Thompson-like groups contain a group that is not finitely presentable but is of type FP_2?
unrecoverable
The official report shows that this extraction merges two independent numbered questions concerning a Lodha–Moore kernel and a non-finitely-presentable group of type $FP_2$. No separate clean statement is promoted, and the original record remains publicly visible for provenance.

The coefficient identity was checked through ten orders and then conjectured; the primary paper proves a Lambert-W resummation but still leaves the all-order combinatorial identity as a conjecture.

Is the Gregory–Laflamme instability the only mechanism by which general relativity changes horizon topology? In spacetime dimension $D>4$, is every stable black hole a Myers–Perry black hole satisfying $J/M^{D-3}=O(1)$?
Conjecture: the Gregory--Laflamme instability is the only mechanism by which general relativity changes horizon topology; and, in dimensions greater than four, the only stable black hole is a Myers--Perry black hole with J/M^{D-3}\leq O(1).

AdS instability conjecture: arbitrarily small perturbations of the initial data of anti-de Sitter spacetime, evolved by the vacuum Einstein equations with reflecting conformal-boundary conditions, can form black-hole regions at sufficiently late times; hence anti-de Sitter spacetime is nonlinearly unstable.

The report asks for a broader curvature-operator interpretation of mass; existing asymptotically hyperbolic mass constructions do not settle the stated tight link, so the problem remains open.
