Seminar Details

What We Have Here is a Failure to Communicate: A Communication Game and Applications to the Sensitivity Conjecture

  • Start Date: November 29, 2017
  • Event Start Time: 12:10 PM
  • Event End Time: 1:00 PM
  • Seminar Series: Graduate Combinatorics Seminar
  • Presenter(s): John Chiarelli - Rutgers University
  • Event Location: Mathematics Graduate Student Lounge -- 7th Floor | Rutgers University | Hill Center | Mathematics Department
  • Presentation Type: Stand Alone Presentation
  • Abstract:

    The sensitivity conjecture is one of the core unresolved questions of computational complexity. In this talk, I will look at one angle that has been taken in tackling this problem, via a cooperative two-player game based on communication. I will also talk about conjectures made in that direction that ultimately failed due to particular counterexamples.
