In this paper we give a conditional improvement to the Elekes-Szab\'{o} problem over the rationals, assuming the Uniformity Conjecture. Our main result states that for $F\in \mathbb{Q}[x,y,z]$ belonging to a particular family of…

The Shub-Smale Tau Conjecture is a hypothesis relating the number of integral roots of a polynomial f in one variable and the Straight-Line Program (SLP) complexity of f. A consequence of the truth of this conjecture is that, for the…

We introduce and study the problem of optimizing arbitrary functions over degree sequences of hypergraphs and multihypergraphs. We show that over multihypergraphs the problem can be solved in polynomial time. For hypergraphs, we show that…

Cs\'{a}ji, Jungers, and Blondel prove that while a PageRank optimization problem with edge selection constraints is NP-hard, it can be solved optimally in polynomial time for the unconstrained case. This theoretical result is accompanied by…

This paper solves a long standing open problem of whether NP-complete problems could be solved in polynomial time on a deterministic Turing machine by showing that the indistinguishable binomial decision tree can be formed in a 3-SAT…

For any polynomial $P \in \mathbb{C}[X_1,X_2,...,X_n]$, we describe a $\mathbb{C}$-vector space $F(P)$ of solutions of a linear system of equations coming from some algebraic partial differential equations such that the dimension of $F(P)$…

This paper presents a combinatorial analog of topological complexity for finite spaces. We demonstrate that this coincides with the genuine topological complexity of the original finite space, and constitutes an upper bound for the…

We classify the complexity of the satisfiability problem for extensions of CTL and UB. The extensions we consider are Boolean combinations of path formulas, fairness properties, past modalities, and forgettable past. Our main result shows…

We show that the problem of finding a Resolution refutation that is at most polynomially longer than a shortest one is NP-hard. In the parlance of proof complexity, Resolution is not automatizable unless P = NP. Indeed, we show it is…

We show that the Kth largest subset problem and the Kth largest m-tuple problem are in PP and hard for PP under polynomial-time Turing reductions. Several problems from the literature were previously shown NP-hard via reductions from those…

Sumsets are central objects in additive combinatorics. In 2007, Granville asked whether one can efficiently recognize whether a given set $S$ is a sumset, i.e. whether there is a set $A$ such that $A+A=S$. Granville suggested an algorithm…

We study optimization problems that are neither approximable in polynomial time (at least with a constant factor) nor fixed parameter tractable, under widely believed complexity assumptions. Specifically, we focus on Maximum Independent…

We discuss some claims that certain UCOMP devices can perform hypercomputation (compute Turing-uncomputable functions) or perform super-Turing computation (solve NP-complete problems in polynomial time). We discover that all these claims…

The complexity class DP is the class of all languages that are the intersection of a language in NP and a language in coNP. It was conjectured that recognizing a facet for the knapsack polytope is DP-complete. We provide a positive answer…

In part I we reduced the arithmetic (characteristic zero) version of the P \not \subseteq NP conjecture to the problem of showing that a variety associated with the complexity class NP cannot be embedded in the variety associated the…

Here we deal with the logic of [GuSh 533], which tries to capture polynomial time (for finite models). There it is proved that the logic cannot say much on models with equality only. Here we prove that it cannot say much on models for which…

We show that polynomial time Turing equivalence and a large class of other equivalence relations from computational complexity theory are universal countable Borel equivalence relations. We then discuss ultrafilters on the invariant Borel…

A value of a CSP instance is typically defined as a fraction of constraints that can be simultaneously met. We propose an alternative definition of a value of an instance and show that, for purely combinatorial reasons, a value of an…

In this paper, I consider a fine-grained dichotomy of Boolean counting constraint satisfaction problem (#CSP), under the exponential time hypothesis of counting version (#ETH). Suppose $\mathscr{F}$ is a finite set of algebraic…

The $k$-subset sum problem over finite fields is a classical NP-complete problem.Motivated by coding theory applications, a more complex problem is the higher $m$-th moment $k$-subset sum problem over finite fields. We show that there is a…
