Open problems in topology, seventh status report. (English) Zbl 0973.54001
From the introduction: This is the seventh in a series of status reports [for the sixth see ibid. 79, No. 3, 249-254 (1997; Zbl 0877.54001)] on the 1100 open problems listed in the volume ‘Open problems in topology’ (1990; Zbl 0718.54001), edited by J. van Mill and G. M. Reed. The goal is to give a brief account of problems solved, by whom, and whether preprints or articles are available. 181 solutions and 53 partial or consistent solutions have been announced so far.

This reference list is based on information provided by the publisher or from digital mathematics libraries. Its items are heuristically matched to zbMATH identifiers and may contain data conversion errors. In some cases that data have been complemented/enhanced by data from zbMATH Open. This attempts to reflect the references listed in the original paper as accurately as possible without claiming completeness or a perfect matching.
