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...
