Participants asked the personnel not to remove them in order not to loose some important proof of theorem. As a result Łucja Banach - wife of the mathematician - bought thick notebook - now known as Scottish Book. Regards. Marek "Has Been in Pub Few Times" Mitros | |

You might ask at a local university for places where the lecturers lift a mug. Forgive my omission of accent marks. Gerhard "Has Never Been To Poland" Paseman, 2018.09.28. | |

| Sep 27, 2018 at 18:46 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | @Marek, I am now getting that you are asking for/about conjectural approaches to broad areas of research. (Sorry for not understanding that before.) That is definitely not MathOverflow. Again, if you have a specific idea and want to phrase it as a reference request, that might work. If you want a digital version of sitting at a pub with experts and spitballing ideas, well, go pub hopping. Gerhard "Or You Start A Blog" Paseman, 2018.09.27. | |
| Sep 27, 2018 at 14:36 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | Some surveys include directions for further research and lists for open problems. However, if you are indeed looking for someone to create a post summarizing research directions, that is close to writing a survey. Still more than intended for this forum.

| Sep 27, 2018 at 8:29 | comment | added | user21230 | Thank you for this answer - it is nice try. Note that I do not want to ask for existing survey. This might be mentioned in the question or in the answer. I do not want to criticize existing progress or achievements in these areas. I want to ask for possible other ways to go forward. The requirement that I should first do my own effort before I can ask the question is sometimes comic in my opinion. Surely I can survive without asking the question. If however I have asked the quesion, it means that I would like to hear opinion or answer of other persons. I regret that it is not possible here... | |
