This is a list of open problems on invariants of knots and 3-manifolds with expositions of their history, background, significance, or importance. This list was made by editing open problems given in problem sessions in the workshop and…
These are problems on Heegaard splittings, that were raised at the Workshop, listed according to their contributors: David Bachman, Mario Eudave-Munoz, John Hempel, Tao Li, Yair Minsky, Yoav Moriah and Richard Weidmann. On pages 285-298 of…
This paper presents the construction of the Seiberg-Witten-Floer homology of three-manifolds with non-trivial rational homology, and some properties of the invariant of three-manifolds obtained by computing the Euler characteristic. This…
In May 2015, a conference entitled "Groups, Geometry, and 3-manifolds" was held at the University of California, Berkeley. The organizers asked participants to suggest problems and open questions, related in some way to the subject of the…
In the week 3--9, October 2010, the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut at Oberwolfach hosted a mini workshop Linear Series on Algebraic Varieties. These notes contain a variety of interesting problems which motivated the participants prior…
Formulated problems concern the following topics: (1) Birationally nonequivalent linear actions; (2) Cayley degrees of simple algebraic groups; (3) Singularities of two-dimensional quotients.

A problem about Khovanov homology and 3-manifolds is discussed in this paper.
This short note gives an overview of how a few conjectures and theorems of the author and collaborators fit together. It was prepared for Oberwolfach's workshop Differentialgeometrie im Gro{\ss}en, 28 June - 4 July 2015, and contains no new…
This paper can be considered as an extension to our paper [On symplectically harmonic forms on six-dimensional nilmanifolds, Comment. Math. Helv. 76 (2001), n 1, 89-109]. Also, it contains a brief survey of recent results on symplectically…
This workshop about triangulations of manifolds in computational geometry and topology was held at the 2014 CG-Week in Kyoto, Japan. It focussed on computational and combinatorial questions regarding triangulations, with the goal of…
We construct examples of nonresolvable generalized $n$-manifolds, $n\geq 6$, with arbitrary resolution obstruction, homotopy equivalent to any simply connected, closed $n$-manifold. We further investigate the structure of generalized…
This short note serves as a historical introduction to the Hopf problem: "Does there exist a complex structure on $S^6$?" This unsolved mathematical question was the subject of the Conference "MAM 1 $-$ (Non-)Existence of Complex Structures…
The paper gives a collection of open problems on abstract polytopes that were either presented at the Polytopes Day in Calgary or motivated by discussions at the preceding Workshop on Convex and Abstract Polytopes at the Banff International…
We review results on and around the almost complex structure on $S^6$, both from a classical and a modern point of view. These notes have been prepared for the Workshop "(Non)-existence of complex structures on $S^6$" (\emph{Erste Marburger…
This is a survey of bordered Heegaard Floer homology, an extension of the Heegaard Floer invariant HF-hat to 3-manifolds with boundary. Emphasis is placed on how bordered Heegaard Floer homology can be used for computations.
