This page hosts information on Alp Müyesser's talk "What is … a Positional Game?" at the "What is …?" seminar. |
We introduce a systematic study of Tic-Tac-Toe-like games, starting with concrete examples like Hex, and then moving on to a more abstract treatment via Maker-Breaker games played on arbitrary hyper-graphs.
As time permits, we will explore connections with other fields, including algebraic topology, the probabilistic method, Ramsey theory, and computational complexity theory.
