Theory
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $1.2M, four-year grant to Christos Papadimitriou and Mihalis Yannakakis for their proposal "Research in Algorithms and Complexity: Total Functions, Games, and the Brain."
On the Complexity of Nash Equilibria in Anonymous Games / Boolean function monotonicity testing requires (almost) n1/2 non-adaptive queries / Indistinguishability Obfuscation for Turing Machines with Unbounded Memory / In Faster Canonical Forms for Primitive Coherent Configurations
In this talk at the Simons Foundation, Alexandr Andoni describes how the tools and perspectives of high-dimensional geometry benefit search algorithms.
