On P vs. NP, Geometric Complexity Theory, and the Flip I: a high level view
نویسنده
چکیده
Geometric complexity theory (GCT) is an approach to the P vs. NP and related problems through algebraic geometry and representation theory. This article gives a high-level exposition of the basic plan of GCT based on the principle, called the flip, without assuming any background in algebraic geometry or representation theory.

متن کاملGeometric Complexity Theory VI: The flip via positivity
Geometric complexity theory (GCT) is an approach towards the P vs. NP and related problems. The article [GCTflip] describes its defining strategy, called the flip, to resolve the self referential paradox, which is the root difficulty in these problems. This article describes an approach based on positivity hypotheses in algebraic geometry and representation theory to implement the flip and ther...
متن کاملExplicit Proofs and The Flip
This article describes a formal strategy of geometric complexity theory (GCT) to resolve the self referential paradox in the P vs. NP and related problems. The strategy, called the flip, is to go for explicit proofs of these problems. By an explicit proof we mean a proof that constructs proof certificates of hardness that are easy to verify, construct and decode. The main result in this paper s...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Mulmuley-Sohoni Approach to P vs. NP
We explain the essence of K. Mulmuley and M. Sohoni, “Geometric Complexity Theory I: An Approach to the P vs. NP and Related Problems” [MS02] for a general complexity-theory audience. We evaluate the power and prospects of the new approach. The emphasis is not on probing the deep mathematics that underlies this work, but rather on helping computational complexity theorists not versed in its bac...
