Four classic problems

Abstract

In this work we survey four classic problems: Borsuk's partition problem, Tarski's plank problem, the Kneser--Poulsen problem on the monotonicity of the union of balls under a contraction of their centers, and the Hadwiger--Levi problem on covering convex bodies by their smaller positively homothetic copies.
