[#R1701] Current status and exact unresolved remainder
claim. OPEN as checked on 2026-08-01. Strongest checked neighboring result: Many planar classes are proved; convex counterexamples now exist in sufficiently high dimension. Exact unresolved remainder: No convex planar counterexample or general proof was located.
1Summary
The problem was checked as open on 2026-08-01.
The strongest neighboring result found in the cited sources is: Many planar classes are proved; convex counterexamples now exist in sufficiently high dimension.
Supported evidence. Replay readiness: source only.
2Evidence
A verification source is cited. This record has no executable replay attached.
Verification source: arxiv.org ↗, Lawford Hatcher, “The hot spots conjecture for some non-convex polygons,” arXiv:2405.19508v3. introduction and main theorems
3Overview
The exact unresolved remainder is: No convex planar counterexample or general proof was located.
A complete resolution must meet the following acceptance conditions: - Prove boundary attainment for every bounded convex planar domain, with a stated boundary regularity convention. - Or give a convex planar domain whose first Neumann eigenfunction has an interior global extremum.
