Computer Science/Discrete Mathematics Seminar II

High dimensional expansion and agreement testing

In this talk I will describe the notion of "agreement tests" that are motivated by PCPs but stand alone as a combinatorial property-testing question. I will show that high dimensional expanders support agreement tests, thereby derandomizing direct product tests in a very strong way.
