The Several Complex Variables Problem List

Abstract

The purpose of this bulletin board is to collect problems in higher dimensional complex analysis. We are interested both in basic research questions as well as interactive questions with other fields and sciences. We encourage everybody to submit problems to the list. This includes not only those coming up in your own work, but also others- maybe well known and classical- that you see missing, but that you think workers in the field should be aware of. Not only are we searching for basic research type questions in several complex variables, we also solicit questions exploring relations to other mathematical fields, one complex variable, partial differential equations, differential geometry, dynamics, etc. and to other sciences such as physics, engineering, biology etc. While some questions fall rather naturally into one of the subject areas in this problem list and may lead to a publishable paper, other questions may be non- specific or of a transient or technical quality. Thus we have a section called ``Scratchpad'' for conversational questions, vaguely formulated questions, or questions to which you may hope to get a quick answer. In the ``open prize problems'' section, you are welcome to offer a nice little prize to whoever does it. The miscellaneous section is for announcements of conferences, jokes, remarks on the general state of the field, etc.
