Abstract:

The main goal of this paper is to give a list of problems closely connected to moment-angle complexes, polyhedral products, and toric varieties. Another purpose is to exhibit the ubiquity and utility of these spaces which have been the subject of seminal work of Buchstaber and Panov as well as many others.
