SUMMARY:Leonid Gurvits's Proof of the Van der Waerden Conjecture
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Mohit Garg\n\nAbstract: \nThe permanent of a doubly st
 ochastic matrix is at least that of the matrix with each entry $1/n$ (the 
 matrices are $n x n$). This theorem\, popularly known as the 'Van der Waer
 den conjecture'\, remained open for over fifty years\, before it was final
 ly proved  by Falikman (1979) and Egoritsjev (1980). Relatively recently\
 , in 2008\, Leonid Gurvits gave an amazingly short proof for it. In this t
 alk\, we will discuss this new proof.\n
