Venkatesan Guruswami gave a stellar talk at Cambridge Computer Science about when and why efficient algorithms exist (for CSP and beyond) via the perspective of symmetry. It was quite inspiring. The talk wasn't recorded, but I found a similar version online: youtube.com/watch?v=wYOsUx…
I thoroughly enjoyed Chinmay Nirkhe's talk about making the leap to quantum PCPs. It gives a good survey of where things stand, an overview of the proof of the NLTS conjecture, and an appealing path towards making process on this hard open problem. youtube.com/watch?v=nt0VEh…
Binge watch lectures from Frontiers in Complexity Theory over the holiday weekend! Metacomplexity (Rahul Ilango), algebraic complexity (Nutan Limaye), derandomization (Roei Tell), ECC (Swastik Kopparty), C^3 LTC (Lijie Chen), and keynote by Ryan Williams @[email protected]!! youtube.com/playlist?list=…
A fabulous result by Max Hopkins, extending Bourgain’s symmetrisation theorem to high dimensional expanders, yielding optimal global hypercontractivity for partite HDX. This resolves the main open problem in my paper with Lifshitz&Liu. Congrats Max! arxiv.org/pdf/2408.16687…
I’m grateful to the ERC for their support and excited to pursue this project! Special thanks to my students, postdocs, and colleagues Cambridge University; it would have never happened without you. I’ll be hiring postdocs and PhD students. Strong candidates are welcome to email me.
