Propositional Logic for Circuit Classes
Abstract. By introducing a parallel extension rule that is aware of independence of the introduced extension variables, a calculus for quantified propositional logic is obtained w...

Powering requires threshold depth 3
We study the circuit complexity of the powering function, defined as POWm(Z) = Zm for an n-bit integer input Z and an integer exponent m poly(n). Let LTd denote the class of func...

Non-commutative circuits and the sum-of-squares problem
We initiate a direction for proving lower bounds on the size of non-commutative arithmetic circuits. This direction is based on a connection between lower bounds on the size of no...

Nearly Tight Bounds for Testing Function Isomorphism
We study the problem of testing isomorphism (equivalence up to relabelling of the variables) of two Boolean functions f, g : {0, 1}n → {0, 1}. Our main focus is on the most stud...

Algebrization: A New Barrier in Complexity Theory
Any proof of P = NP will have to overcome two barriers: relativization and natural proofs. Yet over the last decade, we have seen circuit lower bounds (for example, that PP does n...
