Abstract

The intention of this short note is to publicize some opportunities for set theorists to work on some analytical problems of a somewhat unusual flavor to the set-theorists palate. No claim of authorship or originality of these problems is made (rather the contrary!). I present the definitions necessary to formally understand the problems. The content of my talk at the workshop is summarized in a research announcement in the Bulletin of the AMS [Fl], I will not reproduce it here though it may be useful as motivation for these problems and as a “point of view”. The problems are arranged to allow natural discussion. The reader will be trusted to make his own ranking of importance.
