This series of three talks, one in the Maths dept. on monday (oct. 19)
and two in the CS dept on wednesday (oct. 21) and friday (oct. 23),
will give an outline of the geometric complexity theory (GCT) approach
to the P vs. NP and related problems in complexity theory via
algebraic geometry and representation theory. No familiarity with
algebraic geometry or representation theory will be assumed.
The talks in the cs dept. will be independent of the talk in the maths. dept.
