In 2005 Ma, Trudinger and Wang introduced a fourth-order
differential condition which comes close to be necessary and
sufficient for the smoothness of solutions to optimal transport
problems with a given cost function. If the cost function is
the...
This series of three talks will give a nontechnical, high level
overview of geometric complexity theory (GCT), which is an approach
to the P vs. NP problem via algebraic geometry, representation
theory, and the theory of a new class of quantum...
