Hardness of Minimizing and Learning DNF Expressions
We study the problem of finding the minimum size DNF formula for a function f : {0, 1}d → {0, 1} given its truth table. We show that unless NP ⊆ DTIME(npoly(log n) ), there i...

Fixed-Point Definability and Polynomial Time
My talk will be a survey of recent results about the quest for a logic capturing polynomial time. In a fundamental study of database query languages, Chandra and Harel [4] first ra...

Light types for polynomial time computation in lambda-calculus
We present a polymorphic type system for lambda calculus ensuring that welltyped programs can be executed in polynomial time: dual light affine logic (DLAL). DLAL has a simple typ...

Quantum Computing, Postselection, and Probabilistic Polynomial-Time
I study the class of problems efficiently solvable by a quantum computer, given the ability to "postselect" on the outcomes of measurements. I prove that this class coin...
