[For the entire collection see Zbl 0549.00018.]
We begin by updating our 1976 list of 4-dimensional problems in [Proc. Symp. Pure. Math. 32, 273-312 (1978; Zbl 0394.57002)], as well as a few slice knot theory problems. This update starts with a brief review of the theorems of Freedman, Donaldson and Quinn which have affected the subject so greatly. Next follows a list of new problems, on knot theory and on 4- manifolds, which is based on problem sessions in July 1982 in Durham N. H. and in August 1983 in Santa Barbara, California.
