We consider applications of a finitary version of the Affine Representability theorem, which follows from recent work of Belov-Kanel, Rowen, and Vishne. Using this result we are able to show that when given a finite set of polynomial…
Deterministic black-box polynomial identity testing (PIT) for read-once oblivious algebraic branching programs (ROABPs) is a central open problem in algebraic complexity, particularly in the absence of variable ordering. Prior deterministic…
We give new definitions for the determinant over commutative ring $K$, noncommutative ring $\mathbf{K}$, noncommutative ring $\mathcal{K}$ with associative powers, over noncommutative nonassociative ring $\mathfrak{K}$, and study their…
The following questions are often encountered in system and control theory. Given an algebraic model of a physical process, which variables can be, in theory, deduced from the input-output behavior of an experiment? How many of the…
Almkvist proved that for a commutative ring A the characteristic polynomial of an endomorphism \alpha:P \to P of a finitely generated projective A-module determines (P,\alpha) up to extensions. For a non-commutative ring A the generalized…
We study the problem of polynomial identity testing (PIT) for depth 2 arithmetic circuits over matrix algebra. We show that identity testing of depth 3 (Sigma-Pi-Sigma) arithmetic circuits over a field F is polynomial time equivalent to…
We consider the cyclotomic identity testing (CIT) problem: given a polynomial $f(x_1,\ldots,x_k)$, decide whether $f(\zeta_n^{e_1},\ldots,\zeta_n^{e_k})$ is zero, where $\zeta_n = e^{2\pi i/n}$ is a primitive complex $n$-th root of unity…
We present a constructive recognition algorithm to decide whether a given black-box group is isomorphic to an alternating or a symmetric group without prior knowledge of the degree. This eliminates the major gap in known algorithms, as they…
In the context of dynamical systems, nonlinearity measures quantify the strength of nonlinearity by means of the distance of their input-output behaviour to a set of linear input-output mappings. In this paper, we establish a framework to…
The input domain of software systems can typically be divided into sub-domains for which the outputs are similar. To ensure high quality it is critical to test the software on the boundaries between these sub-domains. Consequently, boundary…
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 rank problem (Garg-Gurvits-Oliveira-Wigderson, Found. Comput.…
Suppose we are given black-box access to a finite ring R, and a list of generators for an ideal I in R. We show how to find an additive basis representation for I in poly(log |R|) time. This generalizes a quantum algorithm of Arvind et al.…
This is a short review of some recent results obtained by the author. These results are related the problem of obtaining polynomial identities (computational formulas) for some matrix functions by means of the known polarization theorem,…
Let C be a depth-3 circuit with n variables, degree d and top fanin k (called sps(k,d,n) circuits) over base field F. It is a major open problem to design a deterministic polynomial time blackbox algorithm that tests if C is identically…
In this paper we study the complexity of factorization of polynomials in the free noncommutative ring $\mathbb{F}\langle x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n\rangle$ of polynomials over the field $\mathbb{F}$ and noncommuting variables $x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n$.…

We study unitary property testing, where a quantum algorithm is given query access to a black-box unitary and has to decide whether it satisfies some property. In addition to containing the standard quantum query complexity model (where the…
Using an elementary approach involving the Euler Beta function and the binomial theorem, we derive two polynomial identities; one of which is a generalization of a known polynomial identity. Two well-known combinatorial identities, namely…
The quality of a model resulting from (black-box) system identification is highly dependent on the quality of the data that is used during the identification procedure. Designing experiments for linear time-invariant systems is well…
By viewing non-commutative polynomials, that is, elements in free associative algebras, in terms of linear representations, we generalize Horner's rule to the non-commutative (multivariate) setting. We introduce the concept of Horner…
