For critical points, arbitrary numbers of sides, and the proposed Wulff-shape conclusion, the primary work establishes restricted symmetric polygon and small-mass cases but not a general classification or minimizer theorem.

How do the symmetry-based minimization methods extend from minimizers to critical points and from the original polygon class to polygons with more sides? What is the appropriate notion of a maximally symmetric competitor, and is its Wulff shape the minimizer for sufficiently small masses?
What happens when we investigate the critical points? How to generalize those techniques for a larger number of sides? What is the correct notion of ‘most symmetric object’ in such a case? Is it then true that the Wulff shape is the minimizer for small masses? The report passage is retained verbatim as the relevant con...

The official report presents an algorithm that either finds a change of basis revealing the prescribed parameterized null pattern or determines that none exists; the extraction is therefore a reported result, not an open problem.

Let $G$ be a sharply $k$-transitive finite permutation group with point stabilizer $H$, and let $\Gamma_{G>H}$ be the principal graph of the group-subgroup subfactor $R\rtimes G\supset R\rtimes H$. Prove that every subfactor $P\supset Q$ with principal graph $\Gamma_{G>H}$ is itself of the form $R\rtimes_\alpha G\supse...
The above conjecture is true for k = 2, 3, 4. For example, the group S(32 ) is isomorphic Z23 ⋊ Q8 . There are exactly two families of sharply 3-transitive permutation groups L(q) and M (q), and they are transitive extensions of H(q) and S(q) respectively (see [4, Chapter XI, Section 2]).

For every prime $p$, does every subset $S\subseteq\mathbb{F}_p\setminus\{0\}$ admit an ordering whose successive partial sums are all distinct?
It seems feasible that the answer to this question is affirmative for every finite group G. In the graph-theoretic formulation of these problems, which we will describe below, Gordon’s setting corresponds to the complete graph case (in particular, a directed variant of a well-known conjecture of Andersen [2]), whereas The...

Hershkovits–White showed that this conjecture is true for flows with mean convex neighborhoods of (1) Mt is non-fattening. (2) Mt is non-discrepant. That is, the inner and outer flows coincide with Mt . (3) ...
