László Babai is one of the world experts on complexity theory, especially related to groups and graphs. He also recently won the 2015 ACM Knuth Prize, for which we congratulate him.
He has announced that will place graph isomorphism almost in polynomial time.
More exactly László shows that Graph Isomorphism is in Quasipolynomial Time: that is time of the form
for some constant . Polynomial time is the case when
, but any
is a huge improvement over the previous best result.
