Some Unsolved Problems around $H^{\infty }$ and Operator Theory

We give an account and discuss some open problems related to the following topics:

• Efficient inversions (for the Wiener algebra, Wiener-Hopf operators, and quotient algebras of $H^{\infty }$);
• Weak generators in quotient algebras of $H^{\infty }$;
• Operator corona problem and approximation property.
