On the Expressive Power of Planar Perfect Matching and Permanents of Bounded Treewidth Matrices
Valiant introduced some 25 years ago an algebraic model of computation along with the complexity classes VP and VNP, which can be viewed as analogues of the classical classes P and...

On the hardness of approximating the permanent of structured matrices
We show that for several natural classes of "structured" matrices, including symmetric, circulant, Hankel and Toeplitz matrices, approximating the permanent modulo a prim...

On the Complexity of Matrix Rank and Rigidity
We revisit a well studied linear algebraic problem, computing the rank and determinant of matrices, in order to obtain completeness results for small complexity classes. In partic...

The Permanent Requires Large Uniform Threshold Circuits
We show that thepermanent cannot be computed by uniform constantdepth threshold circuits of size Tn, for any function T such that for all k, Tk n = o2n. More generally, we show th...

On the Hardness of the Noncommutative Determinant
In this paper we study the computational complexity of computing the noncommutative determinant. We first consider the arithmetic circuit complexity of computing the noncommutativ...
