Resumen:

This chapter discusses 20 problems in set-theoretic topology. Every healthy mathematical discipline needs a short and concise list of its central problems to maintain its focus. These problems are presumably hard to solve and indicative of major directions in the field. Ideally, the problems themselves form these directions. In the case of set-theoretic topology, such problems have always been there. However, over the course of the years, these problems may have shifted out of focus. A list of 20 major problems in the area that grew out of discussions at various conferences in 2004 and 2005 is also discussed in the chapter. The chapter also discusses about a short article written by a specialist in the area dedicated to one of these classical problems containing motivation, historical background and references as well as a list of related questions and test problems. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.
