Abstract: INTRODUCTION TO PCPs
1. Overview
The goal of this four part lecture series is to present (the important ideas and most
details of) the proof of the following striking assertion: There is a format of writing
proofs and a probabilistic method of verifying their validity, such that the verifier
needs to reads only 3 bits of the proof (irrespective of the length of the proof)
to obtain probabilistic confidence in the correctness of the proof. Specifically, the
verifier accepts correct proofs with... (Update)
