Hardness of approximation

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

This article accompanies the talk given by the author at the International Congress of Mathematicians, 2014. The article sketches some connections between approximability of NP-complete problems, analysis and geometry, and the role played by the Unique Games Conjecture in facilitating these connections. For a more extensive introduction to the topic, the reader is referred to survey articles [39, 40, 64].
