(trends) in Theoretical Computer Science
This is a reading group type of seminar mainly focused in modern techniques in Computational Complexity. Occasionally we review classical complexity theoretic results. We include topics from (but not limited to) Combinatorial and Algebraic Complexity, Structural Complexity and connections of Complexity and Logic. We work in an orthogonal direction to the Theory Student Seminar (TSS) running (quite successfully) in the department for many years. In contrast to TSS this seminar is much more focused and mainly works in a more tutorial-oriented fashion. We do not merely present a number of (significant) results but also we aim to provide in-depth coverage of subjects that interest participants. We try to keep the seminar structured in a mini-course fashion (consecutive, semantically related topics). Unlike regular seminars, when necessary a topic is accompanied with prerequisites presentation(s).
The seminar takes place once in every one or two weeks (or so) on Tuesday at 10.30 (10.30-11.10, 10 min break, 11.20-12.00), at the Theory Lab
