Sharp Norms from Finite Structure: Graph Matrices and Structured Chaoses

Huibo Xu, Shi Fu, Youming Qiao +1

Graph matrices encode dependencies in random matrices built from shared random variables and arise in spectral algorithms, sum-of-squares (SoS), and high-dimensional statistics. We…

Synchronization Strings over the Optimal Alphabet

Huibo Xu, Shi Fu, Youming Qiao +1

Synchronization strings provide deterministic position labels for recovering coordinates after insertions and deletions. Haeupler and Shahrasbi introduced these objects, and subseq…

On the average-case complexity landscape for Tensor-Isomorphism-complete problems over finite fields

Tiange Li, Yinan Li, Youming Qiao +2

In Grochow and Qiao (SIAM J. Comput., 2021), the complexity class Tensor Isomorphism (TI) was introduced and isomorphism problems for groups, algebras, and polynomials were shown t…

On the complexity of isomorphism problems for tensors, groups, and polynomials IV: linear-length reductions and their applications

Joshua A. Grochow, Youming Qiao

Many isomorphism problems for tensors, groups, algebras, and polynomials were recently shown to be equivalent to one another under polynomial-time reductions, prompting the introdu…

On the complexity of isomorphism problems for tensors, groups, and polynomials III: actions by classical groups

Zhili Chen, Joshua A. Grochow, Youming Qiao +2

We study the complexity of isomorphism problems for d-way arrays, or tensors, under natural actions by classical groups such as orthogonal, unitary, and symplectic groups. Such pro…

Connections between graphs and matrix spaces

Yinan Li, Youming Qiao, Avi Wigderson +2

Given a bipartite graph , the graphical matrix space consists of matrices whose non-zero entries can only be at those positions corresponding to edges in . Tu…

The isomorphism problem for plain groups is in

Heiko Dietrich, Murray Elder, Adam Piggott +2

Testing isomorphism of infinite groups is a classical topic, but from the complexity theory viewpoint, few results are known. S{é}nizergues and the fifth author (ICALP2018) proved…

Symbolic determinant identity testing and non-commutative ranks of matrix Lie algebras

Gábor Ivanyos, Tushant Mittal, Youming Qiao

One approach to make progress on the symbolic determinant identity testing (SDIT) problem is to study the structure of singular matrix spaces. After settling the non-commutative ra…

Average-case algorithms for testing isomorphism of polynomials, algebras, and multilinear forms

Joshua A. Grochow, Youming Qiao, Gang Tang

We study the problems of testing isomorphism of polynomials, algebras, and multilinear forms. Our first main results are average-case algorithms for these problems. For example, we…

Enumerating alternating matrix spaces over finite fields with explicit coordinates

Youming Qiao

We initiate the study of enumerating linear subspaces of alternating matrices over finite fields with explicit coordinates. We postulate that this study can be viewed as a linear a…

Turán and Ramsey problems for alternating multilinear maps

Youming Qiao

Guided by the connections between hypergraphs and exterior algebras, we study Turán and Ramsey type problems for alternating multilinear maps. This study lies at the intersection o…

General Linear Group Action on Tensors: A Candidate for Post-Quantum Cryptography

Zhengfeng Ji, Youming Qiao, Fang Song +1

Starting from the one-way group action framework of Brassard and Yung (Crypto '90), we revisit building cryptography based on group actions. Several previous candidates for one-way…

Incorporating Weisfeiler-Leman into algorithms for group isomorphism

Peter A. Brooksbank, Joshua A. Grochow, Yinan Li +2

In this paper we combine many of the standard and more recent algebraic techniques for testing isomorphism of finite groups (GpI) with combinatorial techniques that have typically…

From independent sets and vertex colorings to isotropic spaces and isotropic decompositions

Xiaohui Bei, Shiteng Chen, Ji Guan +2

In the 1970's, Lovász built a bridge between graphs and alternating matrix spaces, in the context of perfect matchings (FCT 1979). A similar connection between bipartite graphs and…
