In previous work, we developed a single Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) to solve random instances of the Anshel-Anshel-Goldfeld (AAG) key exchange protocol over polycyclic groups. The EA consisted of six simple heuristics which manipulated…
Power circuits are data structures which support efficient algorithms for highly compressed integers. Using this new data structure it has been shown recently by Myasnikov, Ushakov and Won that the Word Problem of the one-relator Baumslag…
In this paper we give a polynomial-time quantum algorithm for computing orders of solvable groups. Several other problems, such as testing membership in solvable groups, testing equality of subgroups in a given solvable group, and testing…
Extraspecial groups form a remarkable subclass of p-groups. They are also present in quantum information theory, in particular in quantum error correction. We give here a polynomial time quantum algorithm for finding hidden subgroups in…
We generalize the classical definition of effectively closed subshift to finitely generated groups. We study classical stability properties of this class and then extend this notion by allowing the usage of an oracle to the word problem of…
Motivated by a desire to test the security of the pubic key exchange protocol of I. Anshel, M. Anshel, and D. Goldfeld, (``An Algebraic Method for Public-Key Cryptography'', Mathematical Research Letters, vol. 6, pp. 1-5, 1999), we study…
Quantum algorithms for factoring and discrete logarithm have previously been generalized to finding hidden subgroups of finite Abelian groups. This paper explores the possibility of extending this general viewpoint to finding hidden…
We consider the group isomorphism problem: given two finite groups G and H specified by their multiplication tables, decide if G and H are isomorphic. The n^(log n) barrier for group isomorphism has withstood all attacks --- even for the…
This thesis deals with the conjugacy problem in groups and its twisted variants. We analyze recent results by Bogopolski, Martino, Maslakova and Ventura on the twisted conjugacy problem in free groups and its implication for the conjugacy…
In this paper we study complexity of randomly generated instances of Dehn search problems in finitely presented groups. We use Crump-Mode-Jagers processes to show that most of the random instances are easy. Our analysis shows that for any…
We advocate a new approach of addressing hidden structure problems and finding efficient quantum algorithms. We introduce and investigate the Hidden Symmetry Subgroup Problem (HSSP), which is a generalization of the well-studied Hidden…
In distributed systems, situations often arise where some nodes each holds a collection of tokens, and all nodes collectively need to determine whether all tokens are distinct. For example, if each token represents a logged-in user, the…
We construct a finitely presented group with coNP-complete word problem, and a finitely generated simple group with coNP-complete word problem. These groups are represented as Thompson groups, hence as partial transformation groups of…
The hidden subgroup problem~(HSP) is one of the most important problems in quantum computation. Many problems for which quantum algorithm achieves exponential speedup over its classical counterparts can be reduced to the Abelian HSP.…
We propose new provable practical deterministic polynomial time algorithm for the braid Wang, Xu, Li, Lin and Wang Double shielded public key cryptosystems. We show that a linear decomposition attack based on the decomposition method…
The algebraic diversity framework generalizes temporal averaging over multiple observations to algebraic group action on a single observation for second-order statistical estimation. The central open problem in this framework is…
We describe a group theoretic analysis of Shor's algorithm and other related hidden subgroup problems in mathematics and relate these to symmetries of molecular and condensed phase assemblies. By recasting Shor's algorithm through the lens…
A method of random search based on Kolmogorov complexity is proposed and applied to two search problems in group theory. The method is provably effective but not practical, so the applications involve heuristic approximations. Perhaps…
Key substitution vulnerable signature schemes are signature schemes that permit an intruder, given a public verification key and a signed message, to compute a pair of signature and verification keys such that the message appears to be…
Consider a receiver in a multi-user network that wishes to decode several messages. Simultaneous joint typicality decoding is one of the most powerful techniques for determining the fundamental limits at which reliable decoding is possible.…
