Tight Lower Bounds for Algebraic Communication and Applications

Manon Blanc, Prateek Dwivedi, Magnus Rahbek Dalgaard Hansen +2

Communication complexity studies how much information must be exchanged to solve a problem whose input is split among two or more parties. In this work, we study an algebraic varia…

Lower Bounds in Algebraic Complexity via Symmetry and Homomorphism Polynomials

Prateek Dwivedi, Benedikt Pago, Tim Seppelt

Valiant's conjecture asserts that the circuit complexity classes VP and VNP are distinct, meaning that the permanent does not admit polynomial-size algebraic circuits. As it is the…

On Closure Properties of Read-Once Oblivious Algebraic Branching Programs

Jules Armand, Prateek Dwivedi, Magnus Rahbek Dalgaard Hansen +3

We investigate the closure properties of read-once oblivious Algebraic Branching Programs (roABPs) under various natural algebraic operations and prove the following. - Non-closure…
