The papers in this volume were presented at the Fifty Second Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing (STOC 2020), sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Algorithms and Computation Theory (SIGACT). The conference was originally planned to be held in Chicago, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic it was held online. The papers were presented both as pre-recorded video talks, and during online sessions held between June 22-26, 2020. STOC 2020 was part of Theory Fest, that also included several workshops.
