*(OR1) (G.Baumslag) Are all one-relator groups with torsion residually finite? Background
(OR2) Is the isomorphism problem solvable for one-relator groups with torsion? Background
(OR3) (A.Miasnikov) Is the complexity of the word problem for every one-relator group quadratic, i.e., is there for every one-relator group an algorithm solving the word problem in quadratic time with respect to the length of a word? In polynomial time?
(OR4) Is the subgroup membership problem solvable for one-relator groups? That is, is there an algorithm for deciding if a given element of the group belongs to a given finitely generated subgroup? Background
(OR5) Is it true that if the relation module of a group G is cyclic, then G is a one-relator group? Background
(OR6) (G.Baumslag) Let H = F/R be a one-relator group, where R is the normal closure of an element r \in F. Then, let G = F/S be another one-relator group, where S is the normal closure of s = r^k for some integer k. Is G residually finite whenever H is ?
(OR7) (G.Baumslag) Let G = F/R be a one-relator group with the relator from [F,F].
(a) Is G hopfian ?
*(b) Is G residually finite ?
(c) Is G automatic ? Background
(OR8) (G.Baumslag) The same as (OR7), but for a relator of the form [u,v]. Background
*(OR9) (D.Moldavanskii) Are two one-relator groups isomorphic if each of them is a homomorphic image of the other? Background
(OR10) Is every one-relator group without metabelian subgroups automatic? Background

(OR12) Are all freely indecomposable one-relator groups with torsion co-hopfian?
(OR13) (a) Which finitely generated one-relator groups have all generating systems (of minimal cardinality) Nielsen equivalent to each other ?
(b) Which finitely generated one-relator groups have only tame automorphisms (i.e., automorphisms induced by automorphisms of the ambient free group) ?
(OR14) (G.Baumslag) Describe one-relator groups which are discriminated by a free group. Background
(OR15) (B.Fine) If G is a one-relator group with the property that every subgroup of finite index is again a one-relator group, and every subgroup of infinite index is free, must G be a surface group?
*(OR16) Let S_n be the orientable surface group of genus
n.
(b) Is S_m elementarily equivalent to F_{2m}, the free group
of rank 2m ? Background
(a) Are the groups S_n and S_m (m,n >1) elementarily equivalent?
(i.e., Th(S_m) =Th(S_n)?)
