My topology areas (re: Maintaining questions in a subject area)

porton — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 23:24:22 +0200

Hi moderators,

I have submitted several open problems which appeared in the course of my research.

Moderators moved all my problems into "Second tier problems" section. I believe moderators did it because my research is not yet published.

Robert, I hope that you will move them back to Topology section after I will publish the research where I define the problems. I hope not in vain, don't I? I hope to publish that article during a year.

Afterward we should have a special subsection of Topology (or may be better of Topology/General) for my problems. I suggest to name my section "Funcoids & Reloids" ("theory of funcoids and reloids" is an other name of "Algebraic General Topology", AGT for short).

Hi,

the project is certainly not dead, only other duties prevent the original contributors from submitting new problems these days ...

Anyways: let me know what subareas (and possibly subsubareas) would make sense for topology. This requires a moderator, but we will do it promptly.

Many thanks for your contributions!

"New problems appear regularly".

However I noted that many of these are posted by you, rybu :-)

Anyway Open Problem Garden is not dead.

What is the approximation of its grow time going to infinity? It is a fundamental mathematical question :-)

It is certainly not dead, new problems appear regularly. Just forum activity is low.

Regarding your question: Common users cannot create new (sub)areas, sadly.

Hi, I'd like to create sub-areas in the Topology problem section. How do I do that, or does it require a moderator? I notice almost no activity on this forum. Is the "Open Problem Garden" project dead? Thanks for any information, -Ryan Budney University of Victoria
