[#R1806] Current status and exact unresolved remainder

claim. OPEN as checked on 2026-08-01. Strongest checked neighboring result: Many group-theoretic, one-relator, and rational or p-adic analogues are known; recent claimed proofs have not produced consensus closure. Exact unresolved remainder: The general integral two-complex statement remains open in current peer-reviewed literature.

1Summary

The problem was checked as open on 2026-08-01.

The strongest neighboring result found in the cited sources is: Many group-theoretic, one-relator, and rational or p-adic analogues are known; recent claimed proofs have not produced consensus closure.

Supported evidence. Replay readiness: source only.

2Evidence

Evidence package: source only

A verification source is cited. This record has no executable replay attached.

Verification source: www.mathnet.ru ↗, A. Mikhovich, Rational and p-adic analogues of J. H. C. Whitehead's conjecture, Izvestiya: Mathematics 89 (2025). introduction

3Overview

The exact unresolved remainder is: The general integral two-complex statement remains open in current peer-reviewed literature.

A complete resolution must meet the following acceptance conditions: - Prove every connected subcomplex Y is aspherical. - Or give an explicit aspherical two-complex with a connected subcomplex having nonzero π₂.
