Abstract
We prove that counting the analytic Brouwer degree of rational coefficient polynomial maps in -- presented in degree-coefficient form -- is hard for the complexity class , in the following sense: if there is a randomized polynomial time algorithm that counts the Brouwer degree correctly for a good fraction of all input instances (with coefficients of bounded height where the bound is an input to the algorithm), then .
