Conjecture I — f Γ is an irreducible arithmetic group of rank ≥ 2, then every homomorphism Γ→ ModS has finite image.
v1.3 research notesf Γ is an irreducible arithmetic group of rank ≥ 2, then every homomorphism Γ→ ModS has finite image. For many arithmetic groups Γ the conjecture can ...
Problem 15 — [Ehrenpreis Conjecture] Given two closed Riemann surfaces, there are finite un- branched covers with homeomorphic tot…
v1.3 research notes[Ehrenpreis Conjecture] Given two closed Riemann surfaces, there are finite un- branched covers with homeomorphic total spaces which are arbitrarily c...
Problem 9 — (Orbit closures for moduli spaces).
v1.3 research notes(Orbit closures for moduli spaces). Determine the closures of the orbits for the GL+(2, R)-action on H(α) andQ(β). Are these closures always complex-a...
Question 2.1 — Let M = H3/Γ be a finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifold, does Γ contain a surface subgroup.
v1.3 research notesLet M = H3/Γ be a finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifold, does Γ contain a surface subgroup. This was answered in [ 8] for non-compact but finite volume ...
Question 2.4 — Forn> 3, does Aut(Fn) have property (T)?
v1.3 research notesForn> 3, does Aut(Fn) have property (T)? The corresponding question for mapping class groups is also open. If Aut( Fn) were to have Property (T), then...
Major problems 7 — Classify all finite loop spaces.
v1.3 research notesClassify all finite loop spaces. This is the long term project of Bill Dwyer and Clarence Wilkerson. The theory, I believe, is that the Lie groups are...
Major problems 9 — Kervaire invariant one in dimension 126
v1.3 research notesDoes the possible Kervaire-invariant-one element $\theta_6\in\pi_{126}^{S}$ exist; equivalently, is $h_6^2$ a permanent cycle in the mod-2 Adams spect...
Morava K- and E-theory 6 — We now know that Morava E-theory admits an action of the stabillizer group S.
v1.3 research notesWe now know that Morava E-theory admits an action of the stabillizer group S. This is the famous Hopkins-Miller result, which one day I hope will see ...
Applications 6 — Improve on Benson-Carlson-Rickard.
v1.3 research notesImprove on Benson-Carlson-Rickard. Recall their theorem: if G is a finite p-group and k is an algebraically closed field, then thick subcategories in ...
Applications 7 — Classify the localizing subcategories of the stable k[G]-module category.
v1.3 research notesClassify the localizing subcategories of the stable k[G]-module category. These should be in 1-1 correspondence with arbitrary subsets of Proj H^*(G,k...
Equivariant homotopy 2 — Currently we know how to do equivariant stable homotopy theory only when the structure group G is comp…
v1.3 research notesCurrently we know how to do equivariant stable homotopy theory only when the structure group G is compact Lie. But I bet we can do it when the group G...
