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.

Green's Open Problem 85

Suppose that AA is an open subset of [0,1]2[0, 1]^2 with measure α\alpha. Are there four points in AA determining an axis-parallel rectangle with area >cα2\gt c \alpha^2?

Let KRnK \subset \mathbb{R}^n be a balanced compact set (that is, λKK\lambda K \subseteq K whenever λ1|\lambda| \leq 1) and suppose that the normalised Gaussian measure γn(K)0.99\gamma_n(K) \geq 0.99. Does 10K10K contain a compact convex set CC with γn(C)0.01\gamma_n(C) \geq 0.01?
