Unresolved Problems in Complexity Theory

Open questions about how hard computational problems really are. P versus NP asks whether every problem whose solution can be checked quickly can also be solved quickly, the graph isomorphism problem asks whether deciding if two networks are the same shape is easy, and the unique games conjecture, proposed in 2002, concerns how well certain constraint problems can be approximated. None has a proof either way.
