Lower Bound Barriers in Complexity Theory and Overcoming Them With Geometry
Joseph Landsberg
10:00am|Wolfensohn Hall

Chapter 14 of the classic text "Computational Complexity" by Arora and Barak is titled "Circuit lower bounds: complexity theory's Waterloo". I will discuss the lower bound problem in the context of algebraic complexity where there are barriers...

Special Year Seminar

Tensors of Minimal Border Rank
Joseph Landsberg
1:00pm|Wolfensohn Hall

A class of tensors, called "concise (m,m,m)-tensors  of minimal border rank", play an important role in proving upper bounds for the complexity of matrix multiplication. For that reason Problem 15.2 of "Algebraic Complexity Theory" by Bürgisser...
