Workshop “Frontiers in Complexity Lower Bounds”

Registration deadline: July 19, 2026

We are pleased to announce the workshop “Frontiers in Complexity Lower Bounds”, which will take place at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge (UK) from 7 to 11 September 2026.

Many fundamental questions in complexity theory, such as the P vs NP problem, are about complexity lower bounds: proofs that computational problems cannot be solved within a given set of resources. This workshop will revisit the state of the art in complexity lower bounds, including recent work on lower bounds in weak models and new approaches to showing lower bounds for stronger models, as well as work on formulating and understanding various kinds of barriers to lower bounds.

Registration is required and closes on 19 July 2026. The registration form is available on the event website.
