On 31 July 2019 I gave at talk at Monash University in the topology seminar.

Title:

The sensitivity conjecture, induced subgraphs of cubes, and Clifford algebras

Abstract:

Recently, Hao Huang gave an ingenious short proof of a longstanding conjecture in computer science, the Sensitivity Conjecture. Huang proved this conjecture by establishing a result about the maximal degree of induced subgraphs of cube graphs. In very recent work, we gave a new version of this result, and slightly generalise it, by connecting it to the theory of Clifford Algebras, algebraic structures which arise naturally in geometry, topology and physics.
