Some Problems on Knots, Braids, and Automorphism Groups

We present and discuss some open problems formulated by participants of the International Workshop “Knots, Braids, and Auto-mor-phism Groups” held in Novosibirsk, 2014. Problems are related to palindromic and commutator widths of groups; properties of Brunnian braids and two-colored braids, corresponding to an amalgamation of groups; extreme properties of hyperbolic 3-orbifold groups, relations between inner and quasi-inner automorphisms of groups; and Staic’s construction of symmetric cohomology of groups.
