Assessment

Renown 3/5

A named gap in the literature since the 1980s; presentation of absolute Galois groups of p-adic fields.

Attackability 1/5

A construct-and-prove problem, not a counterexample search; the object is a presentation with a proof of correctness.

Reported resolution

proof by AI resolution via the FrontierMath: Open Problems benchmark (Epoch AI); model per Epoch's report on .

Second problem resolved in Epoch AI's FrontierMath: Open Problems benchmark of significant unsolved research problems; curator to attach Epoch's problem page and any writeup, and to fill the model credit from it.
