Complexity Theory
A branch of theoretical computer science that studies the intrinsic difficulty of computational problems under resource constraints and classifies problems into complexity classes such as P, NP and PSPACE.
Timeline (last 90 days)
If ETH were overturned, many lower-bound results in complexity theory would no longer hold, and it could even affect the foundations of cryptography.
OpenAI announced that its AI system overturned a core assumption in complexity theory and publicly released the complete mathematical proof.
