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.

Some conjectures about ranks of elliptic curves over ℚ

From [PPVW2016], Section 3.1: "from the mid-1960s to the present, it seems that most experts conjectured unboundedness."

Some conjectures about ranks of elliptic curves over ℚ

From [PPVW2016], Section 8.2: "Our heuristic predicts (a) All but finitely many E ∈ ℰ satisfy rk E(ℚ) ≤ 21". In other words, there are only finitely many elliptic curves over ℚ (up to isomorphism) with rank greater than 21. Notice that this contradicts the previous conjecture.

Some conjectures about ranks of elliptic curves over ℚ

[PPVW2016] 8.2(b): for 1 ≤ r ≤ 20, the number of elliptic curves over ℚ with rank r and naïve height at most H is asymptotically H ^ ((21 - r) / 24 + o(1)). Note: ℰ_H in 8.2(b) should be ℰ_{≤H}, see the statement of Theorem 7.3.3. When r = 1, the exponent is 20 / 24 = 5 / 6, which agrees with the exponent in card_heightLE_div_pow_five_div_six_tensto and is consistent with half_rank_zero_and_half_rank_one.

Euler's sum of powers conjecture

Euler's sum of powers conjecture states that for integers n>1n > 1 and k>1k > 1, if the sum of nn positive integers each raised to the kk-th power equals another integer raised to the kk-th power, then nkn ≥ k.

The conjecture is known to be false for k=4k = 4 and k=5k = 5, but remains open for k6k ≥ 6.

Fermat-Catalan conjecture

The Fermat–Catalan conjecture states that the equation am+bn=cka^m + b^n = c^k has only finitely many solutions (a,b,c,m,n,k)(a,b,c,m,n,k) with distinct triplets of values (am,bn,ck)(a^m, b^n, c^k) where a,b,ca, b, c are positive coprime integers and m,n,km, n, k are positive integers satisfying 1m+1n+1k<1\frac 1 m + \frac 1 n + \frac 1 k < 1.
