Question Can either of the following be expressed in fixed-point logic plus counting: \item Given a graph, does it have a perfect matching, i.e., a set of edges such that every vertex is incident to exactly one edge from ? \item Given a square matrix over a finite field (regarded as a structure in the natural way, as described in [BGS02]), what is its determinant?
The star chromatic index of a graph is the minimum number of colors needed to properly color the edges of the graph so that no path or cycle of length four is bi-colored.
Question Is it true that for every (sub)cubic graph , we have ?
Conjecture For every rational and every rational , there is no polynomial-time algorithm for the following problem.
Given is a 3SAT (3CNF) formula on variables, for some , and clauses drawn uniformly at random from the set of formulas on variables. Return with probability at least 0.5 (over the instances) that is typical without returning typical for any instance with at least simultaneously satisfiable clauses.
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 Two players alternately write O's (first player) and X's (second player) in the unoccupied cells of an grid. The first player (if any) to occupy four cells at the vertices of a square with horizontal and vertical sides is the winner. What is the outcome of the game given optimal play? Note: Roland Bacher and Shalom Eliahou proved that every 15 x 15 binary matrix contains four equal entries (all 0's or all 1's) at the vertices of a square with horizontal and vertical sides. So the game must result in a winner (the first player) when n=15.
Conjecture Let be an eulerian graph of minimum degree , and let be an eulerian tour of . Then admits a decomposition into cycles none of which contains two consecutive edges of .

A graph with maximum vertex degree is a class 1 graph if its edge chromatic number is .
Conjecture Let be an integer and a -regular graph. If is a class 1 graph, then .
