Abstract

The Borwein Conjecture is a famous conjecture in partition theory. A student of mine, Chen Wang, gave a proof last year. In the talk I explain the conjecture and what was known about it. Then I sketch the main ideas of the proof. (They are not combinatorial but rather analytic.) I conclude by listing some further open problems of similar flavour.
