What about in higher dimensions? Mean-value coordinates. (Sottile, but inspired by Schafer’s talk) Given a polygon with n sides in the plane, there are mean-value barycentric co- ordinates \betav , one for each vertex v of the polygon. These define a map from the polygon to the affine plane in Rn where the sum of the c...

How are their adjoint curves related? Mini-Workshop: Interpolation, Approximation, and Algebra 425 Aluffi’s adjoint of a toric variety.

Classify the coarsifications of $\mathbb{Z}$; in particular, determine when the word metric $d_S$ induced by an infinite generating set $S$ is bounded and whether two such sets induce the same coarse structure.
Problem 7. Classify the coarsifications of Z. If S is an infinite generating set of Z, the induced word metric dS defines a coarsification of Z. For a given set S, it is natural to ask whether dS is bounded. For instance, if S is the set of all primes, boundedness of dS is a non-effective version of the Goldbach conjec...

Can the complex-analytic proof of the total-positivity characterization of the Laguerre–Pólya class be replaced by an elementary argument?
The basic result of this type is the Aissen–Edrei–Whitney–Schoenberg theorem [1, 3]: An infinite Toeplitz matrix is totally positive if and only if the corresponding gen- f (t) erating function has the form , where both f (t) and g(t) are in LP + . g(−t) (An intriguing open question: may the complex analytic techniques...

This talk will provide an overview of the state-of-the-art in network communication systems with uncertainty, and introduce open problems in these topics. Open problems: 1. Is it necessarily a multiletter condition? The report passage is retained verbatim as the relevant context for this extracted problem.

For every rational homology sphere $Y$, construct elements $I_s(Y)$ of the Habiro ring, indexed by $s\in\operatorname{Spin}^c(Y)$, such that $\widetilde N_r(Y,\omega)=\sum_s C_s(Y,\omega)I_s(Y)|_{q=e^{2\pi i/r}}$ for all admissible $r$ and $\omega$.
where Cs (Y, \omega) are universal coefficients depending on r and certain simple homo- topy-type invariants of Y (see [2] for details). The conjecture was verified for a certain family of manifolds in [2], where it was also shown that the conjecture holds if its certain analog for links in a 3- sphere holds. An analog...

Develop general methods to compute toric degenerations of a projective variety $X$ and characterize the relationships among distinct toric degenerations of $X$.
The study of toric degenerations is motivated by two natural questions: (1) How do we compute toric degenerations of X? (2) What is the relationship between two different toric degenerations of a fixed algebraic variety X?

If $R(n)=R(n,n)$ denotes the diagonal Ramsey number, does the limit $$\lim_{n\to\infty}R(n)^{1/n}$$ exist?
While it is easy to see that the first quantity indeed tends to a limit [18], it is a famous open problem of Erdős [9, 10, 12] to prove that the second one does so as well. Weakly Saturated Hypergraphs and a Conjecture of Tuza Asaf Shapira (joint work with M. Tyomkyn)

Ringel’s conjecture was well-known as one of the major open problems in the area of graph packing. Besides Ringel’s conjecture, the other major open problem of this type is a conjecture of Gyárfás [6], saying that Kn should have a decom- position into any family of trees T1 , . . . , Tn where each Ti has i vertices. ...

Spread Bounds for the Random Triangle-Removal Process
For the random triangle-removal process on $K_n$, run for $n^2/6-n^{1.99}$ steps with output triangle set $\mathcal{T}_n$, do there exist events $E_n$ of probability $1-o(1)$ and a constant $C$ such that $\Pr(T_1,\ldots,T_k\in\mathcal{T}_n\mid E_n)\leq(C/n)^k$ for every collection of distinct triangles?

The random triangle-removal process has a settled final-edge exponent, but the much stronger conditional spread estimate for the stopped output and large k in this record remains unresolved.

Sharp Triangle Threshold in Pseudorandom Graphs
Is there a sharp constant $c_0$ such that, for every $\varepsilon>0$, each sufficiently large $(n,d,\lambda)$-graph satisfying $$\lambda<(c_0-\varepsilon)d^2/n$$ contains a triangle, while arbitrarily large triangle-free examples exist with $$\lambda<(c_0+\varepsilon)d^2/n?$$ If so, does the first inequality force many...
