The evasiveness conjecture

If P is some non-trivial monotone graph property, the evasiveness conjecture states that any deterministic algorithm to decide P must in the worst case query all the edges of the input graph.

In the 1980s the conjecture was proved for the case where the number of vertices is a prime power. In this talk we will have a look at this proof, so as to understand the role of that peculiar hypothesis.
