on Friday, July 1, 2011

This a one-day meeting for those who are interested in semidefinite programming and its application to combinatorial optimization, complexity theory, mathematical physics, geometry, and graph theory.

There will be five talks by Christine Bachoc (University of Bordeaux), Nikhil Bansal (IBM Research, Yorktown Heights, NY), Frauke Liers (University of Cologne), David Steurer (Microsoft Research, New England), Levent Tuncel (University of Waterloo).
