Hilbert's Fifteenth Problem
Can Schubert calculus be given a rigorous foundation?
Hilbert's fifteenth problem, from his famous 1900 list, asks for a rigorous foundation of Schubert's enumerative calculus. Schubert calculus is a method for solving problems in enumerative geometry, such as counting the number of lines in 3-space that meet four given lines. While modern algebraic geometry has provided ...

The Inscribed Square Problem

The inscribed square problem, also known as Toeplitz' conjecture, asks whether every Jordan curve (simple closed curve) in the plane contains four points forming a square. The problem has been open since 1911. It is known to be true for smooth curves and for many other special cases, but the general case for arbitrary ...

Falconer's Conjecture
If a compact set in $\mathbb{R}^d$ has Hausdorff dimension greater than $d/2$, must it determine a set of distances with positive Lebesgue measure?
Falconer's conjecture concerns the relationship between the fractal dimension of a set and the set of distances between its points. Proposed by Kenneth Falconer in 1985, it states that if a compact set $E \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ has Hausdorff dimension strictly greater than $d/2$, then the distance set $\{|x-y| : x, y \i...

The Total Coloring Conjecture

The conjecture states that every graph can be totally colored using at most $\Delta + 2$ colors where $\Del...

The Odd Perfect Number Conjecture
Do there exist any odd perfect numbers? (A perfect number equals the sum of its proper divisors.)

Euclid showed that numbers of the form $2^{p-1}(2^p - 1)$ are perfect when $2^p - 1$ is prime (Mersenne prime), giving all known even perfect numbers. Whether odd perfect numbers exist has been an open question for over 2000 yea...

This is equivalent to saying that $p_{n+1}^n < p_n^{n+1}$ for all $n$. The conjecture is stronger than Cramér's conjecture about prime gaps and has been verified comput...

The Herzog-Schönheim Conjecture
If a finite system of left cosets of subgroups of a group $G$ partitions $G$, must some two subgroups have the same index?
Proposed independently by Marcel Herzog and Jochanan Schönheim in 1974, this conjecture states that if finitely many left cosets of subgroups partition a group, then at least two of the subgroups must have the same finite index. This problem arises naturally in the study of group coverings and has connections to number...

The Hadwiger Covering Conjecture
Can every $n$-dimensional convex body be covered by at most $2^n$ smaller homothetic copies?
Proposed by Hugo Hadwiger in 1957, this conjecture states that any $n$-dimensional convex body can be covered by at most $2^n$ positive homothetic (scaled and translated) copies of itself with smaller ratio. The conjecture is known to be true for $n = 1$ (trivial) and $n = 2$ (proven), but remains open for $n \geq 3$. ...

The Happy Ending Problem
What is the minimum number of points in the plane needed to guarantee a convex $n$-gon?
The Happy Ending problem, named by Paul Erdős because it led to the marriage of Esther Klein and George Szekeres, asks for $g(n)$—the smallest number such that any set of $g(n)$ points in general position contains $n$ points forming a convex $n$-gon. It's known that $2^{n-2} + 1 \leq g(n) \leq \binom{2n-4}{n-2} + 1$. T...

What is the largest minimum area of a triangle determined by $n$ points in a unit square?
Proposed by Hans Heilbronn in 1908, this problem asks how to place $n$ points in a unit square to maximize the smallest area of any triangle they determine. Heilbronn originally conjectured the maximum was $O(1/n^2)$, but this was disproven—the actual order is between $\Omega(\log n / n^2)$ and $O(1/n^{8/7-\epsilon})$....

Magic Square of Squares
Does there exist a 3×3 magic square composed entirely of distinct perfect squares?
A magic square has the property that all rows, columns, and diagonals sum to the same value. While magic squares of integers are well understood, the question of whether a 3×3 magic square can be constructed using only distinct perfect squares has remained open for centuries. Martin LaBar proved in 1984 that no such sq...

Mahler's 3/2 Problem
Is there a real number $x$ such that the fractional parts of $x(3/2)^n$ are all less than $1/2$ for every positive integer $n$?
Proposed by Kurt Mahler in the 1960s, this problem concerns the distribution of the sequence $\{x(3/2)^n\}$ modulo 1, where $\{y\}$ denotes the fractional part of $y$. Mahler conjectured that no such $x$ exists. The problem relates to ergodic theory, uniform distribution, and Diophantine approximation. While various pa...

Newman's Conjecture
Does the partition function satisfy any arbitrary congruence infinitely often?
Proposed by Morris Newman, this conjecture concerns the partition function $p(n)$, which counts the number of ways to write $n$ as a sum of positive integers. Newman conjectured that for any integers $a$ and $m$ with $\gcd(a,m) = 1$, there are infinitely many $n$ such that $p(n) \equiv a \pmod{m}$. This would imply the...

Scholz Conjecture
Is the shortest addition chain for $2^n - 1$ at most $n - 1$ plus the length of the shortest addition chain for $n$?
An addition chain for $m$ is a sequence $1 = a_0 < a_1 < \cdots < a_r = m$ where each $a_i$ (for $i > 0$) is the sum of two earlier terms. Scholz conjectured in 1937 that $\ell(2^n-1) \leq n-1+\ell(n)$ where $\ell(m)$ denotes the minimum length of an addition chain for $m$. This has applications to efficient exponentia...

Euclid proved that if $2^p - 1$ is prime (a Mersenne prime), then $2^{p-1}(2^p-1)$ is perfect. All known perfect numbers have this form and are even. Whether infinitely many exist depends ...

For example, $27 = 13 + 2(7)$, $31 = 19 + 2(6)$ is invalid since 6 isn't prime, but $31 = 5 + 2(13)$ works. This is weaker than Goldbac...

Recamán's Sequence Completeness
Does every nonnegative integer appear in Recamán's sequence?
Recamán's sequence starts with $a_0 = 0$ and follows the rule: $a_n = a_{n-1} - n$ if that value is positive and not already in the sequence, otherwise $a_n = a_{n-1} + n$. This produces: 0, 1, 3, 6, 2, 7, 13, 20, 12, 21, 11, 22, 10, 23, ... Named after Colombian mathematician Bernardo Recamán Santos, this sequence has...

Skolem Problem
Can an algorithm determine if a constant-recursive sequence contains a zero?
A constant-recursive sequence satisfies a linear recurrence with constant coefficients, like the Fibonacci sequence. The Skolem problem asks whether there exists an algorithm to determine if such a sequence ever equals zero. This is known to be decidable for sequences of order up to 4, but the general problem remains o...

Let $g(k)$ be the minimum number such that every positive integer can be written as a sum of at most $g(k)$ $k$-th powers, allowing any number of terms. Let $G(k)$ be the same but excluding a finite set of exceptions. We know $g(2)=4$ (Lagrange),...

It states that for any $\varepsilon > 0$, we have $|\zeta(1/2 + it)| = o(t^\varepsilon)$. This is weaker than the Riemann Hypothesis but still unproven. The best known bound is $O(t^{13/84...

Are there finitely many solutions to $a^m + b^n = c^k$ with coprime $a,b,c$ and $1/m + 1/n + 1/k < 1$?
This conjecture generalizes both Fermat's Last Theorem and the Catalan-Mersenne conjecture. It asserts that the equation $a^m + b^n = c^k$ has only finitely many solutions in coprime positive integers $a,b,c$ and integers $m,n,k \geq 2$ satisfying $1/m + 1/n + 1/k < 1$. Ten solutions are known, including $1^m + 2^3 = 3...
