A Note on the Group-theoretic Approach to Fast Matrix Multiplication

Group Theory 2011-05-12 v2 Symbolic Computation

Abstract

In 2003 COHN and UMANS introduced a group-theoretic approach to fast matrix multiplication. This involves finding large subsets S, T and U of a group G satisfying the Triple Product Property (TPP) as a means to bound the exponent ω\omega of the matrix multiplication. We show that S, T and U may be be assumed to contain the identity and be otherwise disjoint. We also give a much shorter proof of the upper bound |S|+|T|+|U| <= |G|+2.
