Major Challenges: • Retention of grains: m-size barrier (Whipple) • Fragmentation: km-size barrier (Benz) • Planetesimal-growth barrier: Isolation mass barrier (Wetherill) • Gas accretion barrier: critical-mass cores (Cameron) • Retention of cores: type I migration (Goldreich & Tremaine, Ward) • Retention of gas giants: type II migration (Lin & Papaloizou) • Multiple gas giants: rapid depletion of disk gas • Competing physics on multiple length & time scales 8/59
