IIT Bombay is organizing an online Monotonicity Festival which is dedicated to understanding the impressive progress over the last couple of decades in Testing Boolean Monotonicity over various partially ordered domains (most notably, the Boolean Hypercube and the Hypergrid). Five of the lectures in this ongoing festival (with six planned lectures in total) have already taken place. Tomorrow is the last lecture where (PTReview’s own) Seshadhri will shed some light on the Directed Talagrand Inequality central to the analysis of the Monotonicity tester presented in the seminal work of Khot-Minzer-Safra.

The talk will begin at 10:30 AM India time tomorrow (April 30, 2024). Here is the zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85365027303?pwd=hreOInC1dMwdFYnTOVa0nblSs9kDz6.1
