Possible choices for the function \phi in (1) are: ( s2 0 if s \leq M, \phi(s) = or \phi(s) = (4) 2 +\infty if s > M.

Let $A_h$ be a twisted Calabi-Yau algebra whose Nakayama automorphism is not semisimple. Determine whether $HH^\bullet(A_h)$ admits a Batalin-Vilkovisky structure.
Are there BV structures in HH• (Ah ) when the Nakayama automorphism of Ah is not semisimple? The Hochschild cohomology HH• (A) of an associative algebra A encodes many non- trivial properties and features of the algebra, including crucial information about its deformations.

Some open questions on these topics are the following: Problem 1. Is this true also in characteristics p = 2, 3? The report passage is retained verbatim as the relevant context for this extracted problem.

For functions satisfying any of the weak continuity notions occurring in decompositions of ordinary continuity, how difficult is it to compute the supremum on a compact interval?
Now, there are dozens (hundreds?) of decompositions of continuity, where continuity is shown to be equivalent to the combination of two or more weak continuity3 notions, going back to Baire, as follows: continuity \leftrightarrow weak continuity notion A plus weak continuity notion B. (D) It is then a natural question ...

If a subclass of the separable permutations contains all of $\operatorname{Av}(231)$ or one of its symmetries, must its generating function be nonrational?
Question 4. If a subclass of the separable permutations does contain all of Av(231) or one of its symmetries, must it have a nonrational generating function? By an elementary counting argument, such classes cannot contain infinite an- tichains, and thus they are well-quasi-ordered (wqo). Indeed, if a permutation class ...

For a subclass $C$ of the separable permutations, must $C$ be closed under direct sums or skew sums, a finite union of such classes, or contained in an inflation $X[U]$ by a proper subclass $U$ as conjectured?
Conjecture 3. Let C be a subclass of the separable permutations. Then either C is sum or skew closed (or the finite union of such classes), or C \subseteq X [U] where X = Av(2413, 3142, 2143, 3412) and U is a proper subclass of C. The reason this would help us is due to the following result, which is a slight reinterpr...

Let $A(n,k)$ denote the number of permutations of $[n]$ whose fixed points are colored with one of $k$ colors, extended polynomially from nonnegative integers $k$. Does $A(n,k)$ have a combinatorial interpretation for every negative integer $k$? More generally, does $A(2n,k)$ have a combinatorial interpretation for eve...
Does A(n, k) have a combinatorial interpretation when k is an arbitrary negative integer? Furthermore, it follows by (2) that for n even, A(n, k) \geq 0 for any k \in R. (We are integrating x2 against a non-negative function over R.) A potentially easier question is therefore: Question′. Does A(2n, k) have a combinator...

Conjecture 1. For a fixed k \in N, any sufficiently long permutation contains a factor which is a k-shuffle of 12 or 21. Although we did not prove this conjecture, we made progress in a number of directions. First, we reinterpreted the conjecture as a question about the existence of a cycle in the following graph: Defi...

For a finite-dimensional, not necessarily cocommutative Hopf algebra $A$, determine when $H^*(A,k)$ is Noetherian, when the natural map $\Psi:\operatorname{Spec}(\operatorname{stab}A)\to\operatorname{Proj}H^*(A,k)$ is a homeomorphism, and how to compute $\operatorname{Proj}H^*(A,k)$.
Andruskiewitsch’s talk: (1) When is Proj H ∗ (A, k) a scheme of finite type (when is H ∗ (A, k) Noether- ian)? (2) When is the map Ψ a homeomorphism? (3) Can we calculate Proj H ∗ (A, k)? supp : T \to subsets of Spec T. By a theorem of Balmer [1], Spec(stab A) (or of Db (A)) classifies A-modules up to “homological oper...

Determine how the dimensions of the layers of the Coxeter galaxy grow with rank, and whether the defining Coxeter graph determines the number of vertices in the intersection of its connected component with a given layer.
Many questions remain open: how does the dimension of the layers grow if rank grows? Can one tell from a graph how many vertices are contained in the in intersection of a component with a given layer? 3. How to navigate the galaxy? Classical approaches to the isomorphism problem involve a) reducing to a specific subcla...

For a fixed constant $c>0$, are there only finitely many regular graphs satisfying $\operatorname{girth}(G)=(2-c)\operatorname{diam}(G)$, apart from the known complete and odd-cycle families?
Is their number also finite? girth = 2 diam − 1 Except for Kn and C2n+1 there are just sporadic regular Moore graphs. What about regular Moore graphs satisfying

The systole-to-diameter finiteness question is explicitly posed in the report; finiteness theorems are known under stronger curvature, entropy, or hyperbolicity hypotheses, but they do not settle the stated 2-epsilon question.

For each $\varepsilon>0$, are there only finitely many topological types of Riemannian manifolds satisfying $\operatorname{systole}(M)/\operatorname{diam}(M)\geq 2-\varepsilon$?
What if I have a Riemanian manifold with systole \leq 2? diam Gromov showed that this bound is attained only at RPn . Is the number of topologies for 2 − \varepsilon finite? The question is the following: Question 1. For what values of k is Dk contractible for every point set P of size n? Note that D1 is just the conve...

The hypercube drawing question is still open in the report's formulation; known k-quasi-planar results give edge bounds under drawing restrictions but do not provide an absolute crossing-clique bound for all hypercubes.

The question is the following: Question 1.

How large can the expectation of x be? The question is the following: Question 1. For what values of k is Dk contractible for every point set P of size n? Note that D1 is just the convex hull of P , which is of course contractible. On the other hand, the set of Tverberg points is in general not even connected, so Dk n ...
