Group Isomorphism and the Polylogarithmic-Time Hierarchy: Depth-2 Circuits and Lower Bounds

Joshua A. Grochow, Gülce Kardeş, Michael Levet

In this paper, we investigate the low-depth circuit complexity of Group Isomorphism in the multiplication (Cayley) table model. We prove the first circuit lower bounds for Group Is…

Parallel Algorithms for Group Isomorphism via Code Equivalence

Michael Levet

In this paper, we exhibit isomorphism tests for coprime extensions where is elementary Abelian and is Abelian; and groups where $\text{Rad}(…

On the Parallel Complexity of Identifying Groups and Quasigroups via Decompositions

Dan Johnson, Michael Levet, Petr Vojtěchovský +1

In this paper, we investigate the computational complexity of isomorphism testing for finite groups and quasigroups, given by their multiplication tables. We crucially take advanta…

On the Complexity of Identifying Groups without Abelian Normal Subgroups: Parallel, First Order, and GI-Hardness

Joshua A. Grochow, Dan Johnson, Michael Levet

In this paper, we exhibit an isomorphism test for groups without Abelian normal subgroups (a.k.a. Fitting-free groups), a class for which isomorphism testing was…

Permutation Statistics in Conjugacy Classes of the Symmetric Group

Jesse Campion Loth, Michael Levet, Kevin Liu +3

We introduce the notion of a weighted inversion statistic on the symmetric group, and examine its distribution on each conjugacy class. Our work generalizes the study of several co…

Comer Schemes, Relation Algebras, and the Flexible Atom Conjecture

Jeremy F. Alm, David A. Andrews, Michael Levet

In this paper, we consider relational structures arising from Comer's finite field construction, where the cosets need not be sum free. These Comer schemes generalize the notion of…
