The afternoon session on day 2 started with an introduction to symmetric circuits and lower bound techniques for these by Anuj Dawar. The symmetric model is one of the rare models that distinguishes the non-identical twins Det and Perm.
I missed the final session as I had to head back home. But WACT was absolutely brilliant. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned so much. Thank you for running it!
I'll be speaking at WACT sites.google.com/view/wact202...
this afternoon. 2pm CEST. You can watch live here:

Members of the College will be greatly saddened to learn of the death on Thursday 4 June, of Paul Hewett, Life Fellow (m.1984), aged 69. After completing his doctorate at the University of Edinburgh i...
We are ending with a lovely talk by Tuukka Korhonen who is telling us about lower bounds on tropical circuits, circuits that work over the (max, +) semiring.
