This measure can be viewed as a type of distributed space complexity where two players with private inputs comput e a Boolean function co-operatively. While its motivation is mainly in app lications to position based quantum cryptography\, the playful definition of the model is quite appealing in itself.Recently there has been some wor k proving non-trivial upper bounds for functions like Equality\, Majority\ , etc.\, in this model and establishing new connections of this model with well studied models like communication complexity\, permutation branching programs\, and formula size.In this talk we will discuss these results an d look at potential directions for future research.\n DTSTART:20181122T203000Z DTEND:20181122T213000Z LOCATION:Room 3195\, CA\, Pav.
