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.

Ben Green's Open Problem 29

Suppose that AA is a KK-approximate group (not necessarily abelian). Is there SAS \subset A, SKO(1)A|S| \gg K^{-O(1)} |A|, with S8A4S^8 \subset A^4?

Erdős Problem 598

Erdős Problem 598:* Let mm be an infinite cardinal and κ\kappa be the successor cardinal of 202^{\aleph_0}. Can one colour the countable subsets of mm using κ\kappa many colours so that every XmX \subseteq m with X=κ|X| = \kappa contains subsets of all possible colours?

Conjectures about the Mandelbrot and Multibrot sets

A stronger version of the MLC conjecture, stating that all multibrots are locally connected. Note that we don't need to require 2 ≤ n because the conjecture holds in the trivial cases n = 0 and n = 1 too.

Independent Domination of Regular Graphs, Conjecture 1.6

Conjecture 1.6 (Odd case).* For a nonempty isolate-free graph GG on nn vertices, if DD is odd, then (D+1)(D+3)i(G)(D2+3)n(D + 1)(D + 3) \cdot i(G) \leq (D^2 + 3) \cdot n.

Strong Sensitivity Conjecture (`bs(f) ≤ s(f)^2`)

Strong Sensitivity Conjecture, for every Boolean function f : {0,1}^n → {0,1}, bs(f) ≤ s(f)^2.

We call this the strong sensitivity conjecture because the original sensitivity conjecture only asked for a polynomial bound in terms of s(f). Huang's celebrated result (often called the sensitivity theorem) gives a quartic bound, bs(f) ≤ s(f)^4, thereby settling the original conjecture.
