We show that proving exponential lower bounds on depth four arithmetic circuits imply exponential lower bounds for unrestricted depth arithmetic circuits. In other words, for expo...
We say that a polynomial f(x1, . . . , xn) is indecomposable if it cannot be written as a product of two polynomials that are defined over disjoint sets of variables. The polynom...
A polynomial identity testing algorithm must determine whether an input polynomial (given for instance by an arithmetic circuit) is identically equal to 0. In this paper, we show ...
Devising an efficient deterministic – or even a nondeterministic sub-exponential time – algorithm for testing polynomial identities is a fundamental problem in algebraic comp...
Kabanets and Impagliazzo [KI04] show how to decide the circuit polynomial identity testing problem (CPIT) in deterministic subexponential time, assuming hardness of some explicit ...
