    Open questions in 4 dimensional topology are presented. Quoting from the introduction: ``Topics discussed are: in Section 1, embeddings of 2-disks and 2-spheres needed for surgery and \(s\)-cobordisms of 4-manifolds. Section 2 describes uniqueness questions for these, arising from the study of isotopies. Section 3 concerns handlebody structures on 4-manifolds. Section 4 concerns invariants. Finally, Section 5 poses a triangulation problem for certain low-dimensional stratified spaces''.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0957.00062].
