An alternating walk in a digraph is a walk so that the vertex is either the head of both and or the tail of both and for every . A digraph is universal if for every pair of edges , there is an alternating walk containing both and
Question Does there exist a locally finite highly arc transitive digraph which is universal?
Problem Does there exist a polynomial time algorithm which takes as input a graph and for every vertex a subset of , and decides if there exists a partition of into so that only if and so that are independent, is a clique, and there are no edges between and ?
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.
Conjecture If is a finite field with at least 4 elements and is an invertible matrix with entries in , then there are column vectors which have no coordinates equal to zero such that .
Conjecture Let be the complete funcoid corresponding to the usual topology on extended real line . Let be the order on this set. Then is a complete funcoid.
Proposition It is easy to prove that is the infinitely small right neighborhood filter of point .
If proved true, the conjecture then can be generalized to a wider class of posets.
Problem Find a constant such that for any there is a sequence of tautologies of depth that have polynomial (or quasi-polynomial) size proofs in depth Frege system but requires exponential size proofs.
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 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 .
Conjecture For every graph without a bridge, there is a flow .
Conjecture There exists a map so that antipodal points of receive opposite values, and so that any three points which are equidistant on a great circle have values which sum to zero.
