Description
### What is the conjecture
A nice list of open 20 problems can be found in
https://www.math.md/files/basm/y2013-n2-3/y2013-n2-3-(pp37-46).pdf.pdf
As far as I can tell (by going over citations in Google scholar), so far all are still open except Problem 11, which has been solved in
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2006.12675
Like usual in set theory related topics, many of the problems are known to be true under CH or some other additional axiom. A formalisation should probably reflect that.
Problem 1 is PR #1810.
I think this would be nice to have, as right now the repository basically only contains one conjecture in topology at all (#1776).
### Prerequisites needed
Most likely all problems need some sort of additional definition, but this is typically a fairly easy task.
### [AMS categories](https://github.com/google-deepmind/formal-conjectures/labels?q=ams-)
* ams-54
### Choose either option
- [ ] I plan on adding this conjecture to the repository
- [x] This issue is up for grabs: I would like to see this conjecture added by somebody else
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the linked PDF and choose one of the still-open problems, then inspect PR #1810 and conjecture #1776 for repository conventions. Check the cited arXiv paper when assessing Problem 11. Done means the selected conjecture and any needed definitions or additional axioms are formalized in the repository.
