    Milne’s rationality conjecture and algebraic specialization

    Proves Milne's rationality conjecture for abelian varieties over Q‾\overline{\mathbb Q} with good reduction: specialized Hodge classes pair rationally with complementary divisor products, independently of cohomology theory. Together with result 032, every specialized Hodge class is represented by a single rational algebraic cycle simultaneously in all prime-to-p and crystalline realizations, for every residue characteristic p.

    Restricted geometric Langlands, global Arthur enhancements, and generic Ramanujan

    Proves the restricted geometric Langlands equivalence for connected reductive groups on smooth projective connected curves over F‾q\overline{\mathbb F}_q under the four stated Lie-theoretic characteristic hypotheses. Over arbitrary algebraically closed fields of characteristic p > 0, the same conclusion holds assuming additionally that p is very good for the group and p∤∣WG∣p\nmid |W_G|. Over global function fields, proves Ramanujan at every place for globally generic cuspidal representations of split adjoint absolutely simple exceptional groups, without characteristic or ramification-depth restrictions, and at every unramified place for cuspidal representations of split adjoint absolutely simple groups with a generic unramified component. Assuming the finite-level Ramanujan–Arthur decomposition, constructs global Arthur enhancements of occurring cuspidal excursion parameters for split connected semisimple groups at full finite level, recovering the given parameters by diagonal specialization on the entire Weil group, including inertia.

    The planar Mumford–Shah regularity conjecture and local weak-L4 gradient bounds

    Resolves the interior regularity conjecture for reduced absolute planar Mumford–Shah minimizers with bounded fidelity data. Locally, the closed discontinuity set is a C1,αC^{1,\alpha} arc, a regular crack tip, or three arcs meeting at 120∘120^\circ; only finitely many global connected components meet any compact interior region.

    The three-dimensional Ball–Evans approximation problem

    Resolves the three-dimensional Ball–Evans approximation problem: every W1,pW^{1,p} homeomorphism between arbitrary bounded domains in ℝ3, for 1≤p<∞1\le p\lt \infty, is a strong W1,pW^{1,p} limit of smooth diffeomorphisms onto the same target.

    De Giorgi's conjecture in dimension eight

    Proves De Giorgi's conjecture at its sharp dimension-eight endpoint: every entire C2 solution u:R8→(−1,1)u:\mathbb R^8\to(-1,1) of Δu=u3−u\Delta u=u^3-u that is strictly increasing in one direction depends on only one linear coordinate. A stronger theorem classifies all stable entire solutions v:R7→[−1,1]v:\mathbb R^7\to[-1,1] as constant wells or planar transitions, without an energy-growth assumption.

    Interior C1,αC^{1,\alpha} regularity for infinity-harmonic functions

    Proves uniform interior C1,αdC^{1,\alpha_d} regularity for bounded infinity-harmonic functions in every dimension d ≥ 3, for a positive exponent depending only on dimension. The gradient's supremum norm and Hölder seminorm on the half unit ball are bounded by a dimension-dependent constant times the oscillation on the unit ball. The exponent is not explicit.
