1 February 2013, DIP Colloquium, Amaia Garcia Odon

6 February 2013, General Mathematics Colloquium, Jop Briët (CWI)
Abstract.
Grothendieck's inequality is a fundamental result to the
theory of Banach spaces. But many years after Grothendieck
published this result, people realized that it also has
important applications in theoretical computer science and
physics. In particular, the inequality can be used in quantum
information theory to study the mysterious phenomenon of
quantum entanglement and in combinatorial optimization to
prove performance guarantees of efficient approximation
algorithms for NP-hard problems. The aim of this talk is to
give an overview of these applications and explain why
Grothendieck's inequality and recent generalizations of it are
powerful mathematical tools to study them.
