On the Relation between Polynomial Identity Testing and Finding Variable Disjoint Factors
We say that a polynomial f(x1, . . . , xn) is indecomposable if it cannot be written as a product of two polynomials that are defined over disjoint sets of variables. The polynom...

A note on circuit lower bounds from derandomization
We present an alternate proof of the result by Kabanets and Impagliazzo that derandomizing polynomial identity testing implies circuit lower bounds. Our proof is simpler, scales b...

Arithmetic Circuits: A Chasm at Depth Four
We show that proving exponential lower bounds on depth four arithmetic circuits imply exponential lower bounds for unrestricted depth arithmetic circuits. In other words, for expo...

Shallow Circuits with High-Powered Inputs
A polynomial identity testing algorithm must determine whether an input polynomial (given for instance by an arithmetic circuit) is identically equal to 0. In this paper, we show ...
