[#R1393] Work at the unresolved boundary

View evidenceOpen source ↗

1Summary

The global classification of all smooth strictly convex integrable tables remains open.

Research should address this boundary directly: The global classification of all smooth strictly convex integrable tables remains open.

A claimed resolution should satisfy every item below and preserve the statement's exact quantifiers and normalizations: - Prove every table satisfying the invariant-caustic hypothesis is an ellipse. - Or construct a nonelliptic smooth strictly convex table with the full caustic foliation.

Reported evidence. Replay readiness: source only.
