✦ Synopsis

We give a combinatorial form of the Kadison-Singer problem, a famous problem in C * -algebra. This combinatorial problem, which has several minor variations, is a discrepancy question about vectors in C n . Some partial results can be easily deduced from known facts in discrepancy theory.
