We introduce higher simplicial complexity of a simplicial complex $K$ and higher combinatorial complexity of a finite space $P$ (i.e. $P$ is a finite poset). We relate higher simplicial complexity with higher topological complexity of $|K|$…

We study the relations between the notions of highness, lowness and logical depth in the setting of complexity theory. We introduce a new notion of polylog depth based on time bounded Kolmogorov complexity. We show polylog depth satisfies…

This is a collection of open problems in geometry that I think of as puzzles: they stick to my brain -- I see many grips, but no spare hands. Puzzle-charm is the only criterion for including a problem here; importance is ignored.
