Open-problem statements, with their sources attached.

What is the infimum of |{x ∈ ℝ : |f x| < 1}| over all nonconstant monic polynomials f such that all of its roots are real and contained in [-1,1]?

Lower bound for $c(p)$ for $1 < p \le \infty$, improving the known value at $p = 2$ or $p = \infty$.

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

Upper bound for $c(p)$ for $1 < p \le \infty$, improving the best-known value at $p = \infty$.

Let A ⊂ R be a set of positive measure. Does $A$ contain an affine copy of {1, 1/2, 1/4, . . . }?

Let $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ be an infinite set. Must there be a set $E \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ of positive measure which does not contain any set of the shape $a * A + b$ for some $a,b \in \mathbb{R}$ and $a \neq 0$?

For every $x \in \mathbb{R}$ let $A_x \subset \mathbb{R}$ be a bounded set with outer measure $< 1$. Must there exist an infinite independent set, that is, some infinite $X \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ such that $x \notin A_y$ for all $x \neq y \in X$?

If the sets $A_x$ are closed and have measure $< 1$, then must there exist an independent set of size $3$?

Known results: Erdős–Hajnal [ErHa60] proved the existence of arbitrarily large finite independent sets. Hechler [He72] showed the answer is no assuming the continuum hypothesis.
