In this survey, we discuss a series of linearization problems--for Poisson structures, Lie algebroids, and Lie groupoids. The last problem involves a conjecture on the structure of proper groupoids. Attempting to prove this by the method of…
We sketch an assortment of problems that were posed -- and not yet solved -- during problem sessions at the conference ``Approximation Theory and Numerical Analysis meet Algebra, Geometry, and Topology'', which was held at the Palazzone…
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…
This note is an expansion of three lectures given at the workshop "Topology, Complex Analysis and Arithmetic of Hyperbolic Spaces" held at Kyoto University in December of 2006 and will appear in the proceedings for this workshop.
This is a contribution for the discussion on "A Gibbs sampler for a class of random convex polytopes" by Pierre E. Jacob, Ruobin Gong, Paul T. Edlefsen and Arthur P. Dempster to appear in the Journal of American Statistical Association.
We review some links between Lie-theoretic polytopes and field theories in physics, which were proposed in the 1990's. A basic ingredient is the Coxeter Plane, whose relation to integrable systems and the Stokes Phenomenon has only recently…
We propose a list of open problems in pluripotential theory partially motivated by their applications to complex differential geometry. The list includes both local questions as well as issues related to the compact complex manifold…
While there is extensive literature on approximation of convex bodies by inscribed or circumscribed polytopes, much less is known in the case of generally positioned polytopes. Here we give upper and lower bounds for approximation of convex…
This is a collection of open problems from workshop "Differential Geometry, Billiards, and Geometric Optics" at CIRM on October 4-8, 2021.
We introduce the notion of soficity for locally compact groups and list a number of open problems.
We address the problem of constructing elliptic polytopes in R^d, which are convex hulls of finitely many two-dimensional ellipses with a common center. Such sets arise in the study of spectral properties of matrices, asymptotics of long…
This is a summary of a talk given at the "Conference on Pure and Applied Topology", Isle of Skye, June 24, 2005. It contains an announcement and sketch of proof of the classification of 2-compact groups.
The article contains a few questions and speculations related to the moduli spaces of curves, K3 surfaces, maps, and sheaves presented in the problem session of the AGNES conference in Amherst (April 2010).

The goal of this paper is to establish certain inequalities between the numbers of convex polytopes in the d-dimensional space "containing" and "avoiding" zero provided that their vertex sets are subsets of a given finite set of points in…
