Can they inform computational complexity theory? Bill Gasarch and Christian Elsholtz both like primes and jokes and graphs and ways of sharing baked goods. Bill is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Maryland; Elsholtz is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at T.U. Graz in Austria. They recently independently came up with a...
