Authored summary

Unresolved in this packet after the dated source check. Strongest checked result: Lackenby proves the original conjecture for thickenable balanced presentations and gives an explicit stable-move bound for that class. The unrestricted conjecture remains open. Exact unresolved remainder: Prove that every balanced presentation of the trivial group is Andrews-Curtis equivalent to the standard presentation, or give a balanced presentation of the trivial group and prove that no allowed move sequence reaches the standard presentation.

The record cites sources for its explanation.
