In the other talk, (i.e. on 30th), I will prove a generalization of
Yannakakis' factorization theorem relating the complexity of any
Extended Formulation of a polytope P with the size of non-negative
factorization of the slack matrix of P.
In this talk I will provide some lower bounds on the size of
some polytopes like the perfect matching polytope and the TSP
polytope. The lower bounds for the latter answer a 20 year old open
question of Yannakakis
