Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II
The Fundamentals of Analysis of Boolean Functions; An Old Timer Reminiscing About his Graduate Studies
The recent flurry of AI-generated mathematical activity has brought an avalanche of new results. Among them are the resolution of some conjectures that I made more than a quarter of a century ago, as a graduate student. In this talk I’ll give the context of these conjectures, and recall some the most fundamental results in the field. Being in a nostalgic mood, I will probably compare the modus operandi that was used then (meaning up to a couple of months ago) and now, to produce these questions and answers.
