Candidate
Find all pairs of 6 x 6 complex Hadamard matrices H1 and H2 such that their product H1-dagger H2 is another Hadamard matrix.
In plain terms

Equivalent to identifying all MU triples in d=6. Conjecture 8.1 proposes the Fourier family F6(2), its transpose, and Szollosi's X6(2) as the only candidates.

Our position — ours alone, not the authors'

Conjecture 8.1 names a FINITE candidate list, and checking named candidates is what our certificates do. Needs a desk gate first: the conjecture may already have been verified at the parameter points that matter.
