This is a list of open problems on invariants of knots and 3-manifolds with expositions of their history, background, significance, or importance. This list was made by editing open problems given in problem sessions in the workshop and seminars on `Invariants of Knots and 3-Manifolds' held at Kyoto in 2001.
A classification of incompressible quantum Hall fluids in terms of integral lattices and arithmetical invariants thereof is proposed. This classification enables us to characterize the plateau values of the Hall conductivity $\sH$ in the interval $\,(0,1]\,$ (in units where $\,e^2/h=1$) corresponding to ``stable'' incompressible quantum Hall fluids. A bijection, called shift map, between classes of stable incompressible quantum Hall fluids corresponding to plateaux of $\sH$ in the intervals $\,[1/(2\mini p+1),1/(2\mini p-1)\mini)\,$ and $\,[1/(2\mini q+1),1/(2\mini q-1)\mini)$, respectively, is constructed, with $\,p,q=1,2,3, (\ldots),\ p\neq q$. Our theoretical results are carefully compared to experimental data, and various predictions and experimental implications of our theory are discussed.
