We prove a strongly polynomial bound on the circuit diameter of polyhedra, resolving the circuit analogue of the polynomial Hirsch conjecture. Specifically, we show that the circuit diameter of a polyhedron $P = \{x\in \mathbb{R}^n:\, A x =…

The determinant can be computed by classical circuits of depth $O(\log^2 n)$, and therefore it can also be computed in classical space $O(\log^2 n)$. Recent progress by Ta-Shma [Ta13] implies a method to approximate the determinant of…

The Peterson hit problem in algebraic topology is to explicitly determine the dimension of the quotient space $Q\mathcal P_k = \mathbb F_2\otimes_{\mathcal A}\mathcal P_k$ in positive degrees, where $\mathcal{P}_k$ denotes the polynomial…

In this paper we study polynomials in $\text{VP}_e$ (polynomial-sized formulas) and in $\Sigma\Pi\Sigma$ (polynomial-size depth-$3$ circuits) whose orbits, under the action of the affine group $\text{GL}_n^{\text{aff}}(\mathbb{F})$, are…

Given a polygon $H$ in the plane, the art gallery problem calls for fining the smallest set of points in $H$ from which every other point in $H$ is seen. We give a deterministic algorithm that, given any polygon $H$ with $h$ holes, $n$…

A polynomial $f$ of degree $d$ and coefficients in an algebraically closed field $k$ defines a morphism $f:\mathbb{P}^1_k\longrightarrow\mathbb{P}^1_k$ which, if char$(k)\nmid d$, is unramified outside a finite set of points in the image:…
