We say that a set is -universal if every vertex planar graph can be drawn in the plane so that each vertex maps to a distinct point in , and all edges are (non-intersecting) straight line segments.
Question Does there exist an -universal set of size ?
Question What is the Waring rank of the determinant of a generic matrix?
For simplicity say we work over the complex numbers. The generic matrix is the matrix with entries for . Its determinant is a homogeneous form of degree , in variables. If is a homogeneous form of degree , a power sum expression for is an expression of the form , the (homogeneous) linear forms. The Waring rank of is the least number of terms in any power sum expression for . For example, the expression means that has Waring rank (it can't be less than , as ).
The generic determinant (or ) has Waring rank . The Waring rank of the generic determinant is at least and no more than , see for instance Lower bound for ranks of invariant forms, Example 4.1. The Waring rank of the permanent is also of interest. The comparison between the determinant and permanent is potentially relevant to Valiant's "VP versus VNP" problem.
Problem Let be a -dimensional smooth submanifold of , diffeomorphic to . By the Jordan-Brouwer separation theorem, separates into the union of two compact connected -manifolds which share as a common boundary. The Schoenflies problem asks, are these -manifolds diffeomorphic to ? ie: is unknotted?
Problem has the homotopy-type of a product space where is the group of diffeomorphisms of the 4-ball which restrict to the identity on the boundary. Determine some (any?) homotopy or homology groups of .
Conjecture Every complete geometric graph with an even number of vertices has a partition of its edge set into plane (i.e. non-crossing) spanning trees.
Problem What is the maximum number of colours needed to colour countries such that no two countries sharing a common border have the same colour in the case where each country consists of one region on earth and one region on the moon ?
Conjecture Polignac's Conjecture: For any positive even number n, there are infinitely many prime gaps of size n. In other words: There are infinitely many cases of two consecutive prime numbers with difference n.
In particular, this implies:
Conjecture Twin Prime Conjecture: There are an infinite number of twin primes.
Question \item Does hold over graphs of bounded tree-width? \item Is included in over graphs? \item Does have a 0-1 law? \item Are properties of Hanf-local? \item Is there a logic (with an effective syntax) that captures ?
Problem Let be a graph, a countable end of , and an infinite set of pairwise disjoint -rays in . Prove that there is a set of pairwise disjoint -rays that devours such that the set of starting vertices of rays in equals the set of starting vertices of rays in .
