About

This workshop will bring together experts to discuss various aspects of the matrix multiplication problem on the spectrum from purely mathematical to applied. These are the  tensor rank and group-theoretic approaches to matrix multiplication (including new approaches from algebraic geometry and commutative algebra), the numerical stability of matrix multiplication, probabilistic methods for reducing leading constants in matrix multiplication, and communication lower and upper bounds for matrix multiplication.

If you require special accommodation, please contact our access coordinator at simonsevents@berkeley.edu with as much advance notice as possible.

Please note: the Simons Institute regularly captures photos and video of activity around the Institute for use in videos, publications, and promotional materials.
