OPEN PROBLEMS
in combinatorial group theory

The original collection had been selected in 1997-99 by G.Baumslag, A.G.Myasnikov, and V.Shpilrain with the help of several other people. In particular, we are grateful to G.Bergman, G.Conner, W.Dicks, R.Gilman, I.Kapovich, V. Remeslennikov, V.Roman'kov, E.Ventura and D.Wise for useful comments and discussions. We also acknowledge the NSF support through the grant DMS-0405105 that helped us maintain this site.
We now have over 200 open problems in our collection, and we invite the mathematical community to submit more problems as well as comments, suggestions, and/or criticism. Please send us e-mail at wwalgebra@yahoo.com
