Our first main problem is the Inertia Conjecture proposed by Abhyankar in 2001. We will show several new evidence for this conjecture. We also formulate a certain generalization of it which is our second problem, and we provide evidence for it UR - http://dspace.isical.ac.in:8080/jspui/handle/10263/7101 ER -
