Summary
Products of conjugacy classes is a well-established theme in Group Theory with open conjectures. We summarize known and new results concerning the influence that the product of two conjugacy classes exerts on the structure of a finite group. We add several open questions in order to inspire the reader to solve them and develop new techniques of research.
