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.

Hilbert's Fifth Problem and the Hilbert–Smith Conjecture

Hilbert–Smith conjecture*: every locally compact topological group acting continuously and faithfully on a connected finite-dimensional topological manifold is a Lie group.

Poincare: Smooth Dimension Four

The four dimensional case of the smooth version of the conjecture is still open. See [Wang2017].

Hilbert's Fifth Problem and the Hilbert–Smith Conjecture

Equivalent p-adic formulation: the p-adic integers ℤ_[p] cannot act continuously and faithfully on any connected finite-dimensional topological manifold. By the Gleason–Yamabe theorem, this is equivalent to hilbert_smith_conjecture.

Poincare: Smooth Other Cases

It is conjectured that the only values of n>4n > 4 for which the smooth version of the conjecture holds are n=5,6,12,56,61n = 5, 6, 12, 56, 61. See Conjecture 1.17 in [Wang2017].

The Bing-Borsuk Conjecture

The Bing-Borsuk Conjecture: every nn-dimensional homogeneous absolute neighborhood retract is a topological nn-manifold. A topological space XX is an nn-dimensional manifold when T2Space X ∧ Nonempty (ChartedSpace (Fin n → ℝ) X). The hypothesis [MetrizableSpace X] implies T2Space X so this does not appear in the conclusion.
