The Erdős–Rado Sunflower Conjecture
For every integer $r\geq3$, does there exist a constant $c(r)$ such that every family $\mathcal{F}$ of sets of size at most $w$ contains an $r$-sunflower whenever $|\mathcal{F}|>c(r)^w$?

In the positive-geometry and cluster-algebraic formulation of tree and loop string amplitudes (Arkani-Hamed et al.), the $u$-equations are a system of polynomial relations among cross-ratio variables $u_C$ associated to curves on a bordered surface. Do the proposed $u$-equations extend to arbitrary hyperbolic surfaces ...
We conjecture the u equations for an arbitrary surface and show how these variables give new formulas for the functions that arise in string theory.

Is there a universal constant $c>0$ such that every isotropic log-concave probability density $p$ satisfies $\psi(p)\geq c/\sqrt{\rho(p)}$, and hence has an isoperimetric coefficient bounded below by a universal positive constant?
If the conjecture is true, the Cheeger isoperimetric coefficient can be determined by going through all the half- spaces instead of all subsets. For this reason, the KLS conjecture is also called the KLS hyperplane conjecture. p (\{x : d(x, S) \leq ǫ\}) − p(S) p+ (\partialS) := lim inf , ǫ\to0+ ǫ where d(x, S) is the Euc...

KLS Isoperimetric Coefficient Bound for Log-Concave Measures
The KLS conjecture is stated by Kannan, Lovász and Simonovits [1] as follows.

Taking the minimum of such ratios over all subsets d...

Does CH imply that $M/E$ has $2^{\mathfrak c}$ automorphisms, while forcing axioms imply that every isomorphism between $M/E$ and $N/F$ is topologically trivial?
Conjecture 3. For Borel quotient structures M/E and N /F , consider the fol- lowing statements. (1) The Continuum Hypothesis (CH) implies that M/E has 2c automorphisms (and therefore 2c topologically nontrivial automorphisms). (2) Forcing Axioms imply that every isomorphism between M/E and N /F is topologically trivial...

Which results of finite combinatorics admit counterparts for Borel graphs that are Borel, $\mu$-measurable, or $\tau$-Baire measurable?
A natural question is which results from finite combinatorics have analogues ’definable’ (i.e., Borel, µ-measurable, \tau -Baire measurable) counterparts for Borel graphs.

Conjecture 1.2 is easily seen to hold for n = 1, 2. For n = 3, 4, it was first proved by Busch in [8]. Additional proofs for n = 4, using different techniques, appear in [9] and [25]. Last year, Hakopian-Jetter-Zimmerman showed in [26] that the conjecture holds for n = 5. For more on the problem and related work, see [...

Does a Gaussian cubature rule of the prescribed degree exist for the product Chebyshev weight in three variables?
An open question of considerable interest is if such a rule exists for the product Chebyshev weight function in three variables. polynomials of degree n with respect to w. For m = 2n − 2, the nodes need to be common zeros of a basis of quasi-orthogonal polynomials of degree n. Whenever a Gauss cubature rule exists, its...

The general dimension of planar spline spaces still depends on subtle local and global geometry; known formulas and homological bounds do not give the requested combinatorial-geometric characterization in full generality.
