Circuit complexity, proof complexity, and polynomial identity testing: The ideal proof system

JA Grochow, T Pitassi - Journal of the ACM (JACM), 2018 - dl.acm.org
We introduce a new and natural algebraic proof system, whose complexity measure is
essentially the algebraic circuit size of Nullstellensatz certificates. This enables us to exhibit …

Towards hardness of approximation for polynomial time problems

A Abboud, A Backurs - 8th Innovations in Theoretical Computer …, 2017 - drops.dagstuhl.de

Algorithms based on*-algebras, and their applications to isomorphism of polynomials with one secret, group isomorphism, and polynomial identity testing

G Ivanyos, Y Qiao - SIAM Journal on Computing, 2019 - SIAM
We consider two basic algorithmic problems concerning tuples of (skew-) symmetric
matrices. The first problem asks us to decide, given two tuples of (skew-) symmetric matrices …

The Ideal Proof System (IPS) of Grochow & Pitassi (FOCS 2014, J. ACM, 2018) is an
algebraic proof system that uses algebraic circuits to refute the solvability of unsatisfiable …

Complexity in ideals of polynomials: questions on algebraic complexity of circuits and proofs

JA Grochow - Bulletin of EATCS, 2020 - bulletin.eatcs.org
Abstract Given ideals In⊆ F [x1,... xn] for each n, what can we say about the circuit
complexity of polynomial families fn in those ideals, that is, such that fn∈ In for all n? Such …
