Dichotomy Conjecture for Constraint Satisfaction Problems

The dichotomy conjecture asks if every Constraint Satisfaction Problem is either in P or NP-complete. We will study the basic algorithms and reductions for such problems. We will see many (equivalent) stronger versions of this conjecture actually telling the border between P and NP-completeness.
