Questions, not proof records

Open-problem statements, with their sources attached.

Each statement record keeps the mathematical question, a dated status source, accessible references, and any pinned Lean formulation separate from proof verification.

“Open” is a dated source assertion. In these pinned sources, sorry marks an admitted statement, not a proof. Source indexing does not mean the formulation has been independently built or certified by Therefore.

Erdős Problem 944

Let k4k \ge 4 and r1r\ge 1. Must there exist a graph GG with chromatic number kk such that every vertex is critical, yet every critical set of edges has size >r>r?

Erdős Problem 944: Dirac Conjecture

Let k4k \ge 4. Must there exist a graph GG with chromatic number kk such that every vertex is critical, yet every critical set of edges has size >1>1?

This was conjectured by Dirac in 1970.

Erdős Problem 950: Weaker Pi

Erdős writes that a 'weaker conjecture which is perhaps not quite inaccessible' is that, for every ϵ>0\epsilon>0, if xx is sufficiently large there exists y<xy<x such that π(x)<π(y)+ϵπ(xy)\pi(x)< \pi(y)+\epsilon \pi(x-y). Compare this to [855].

Erdős Problem 950: Sum Primes

The study of f(p)f(p) is even harder, and Erdős could not prove that p<xf(p)2π(x)\sum_{p<x}f(p)^2\sim \pi(x).
