Streszczenie
We discuss various conjectures and problems around the issue of when and whether stable formulas are responsible for forking in simple theories. We prove that if the simple theory $T$ has strong stable forking then any complete type is a nonforking extension of a complete type which is axiomatized by instances of stable formulas. We also give another treatment of the first author's result which identifies canonical bases in supersimple theories.
