Title: A survey of Harbourne's Conjecture.
Abstract: Harbourne’s conjecture on the containment problem for symbolic
and ordinary powers of ideals is not true in its original form, but it has
sparked a lot of different research avenues. We will discuss some of the
known counterexamples but mostly focus on the different variations of the
conjecture that are true or still open.
