Abstract
The 2007 Midwest Geometry Conference included a panel discussion
devoted to open problems and the general direction of future research
in fields related to the main themes of the conference. This paper
summarizes the comments made during the panel discussion.
Key words:
determinants; differential complexes; differential geometry; Einstein metrics; GJMS operators; global invariants; heat kernel; Kähler metrics; Q-curvature; Sobolev inequalities.
