Matrix Multiplication, And The Asymptotic Spectrum Of TensorsOptimization Under Symmetry 20212021-11-29
Survey revives Strassen's asymptotic spectra theory, frames tensors as a preordered semiring and proves a strong duality: asymptotic rank equals the maximum…

(Hidden) Symmetries of Computational Problems (continued)Geometric Methods in Optimization and Sampling Boot Camp2021-08-30
Claims that geodesic convexity explains why greedy scaling (e.g., Sinkhorn) works, and that three problems — nullcone membership, norm minimization (capacity)…

Are we aging well?50 Years of Satisfiability: The Centrality of SAT in the Theory of Computing2021-02-11
Field argues it's aging brilliantly but uneasy; core technical claim is that a noncommutative/quantum variant of polynomial identity testing (PIT) admits a…

Circuit Lower Bounds (and More) via the Fusion MethodBoolean Devices 20182018-09-10
Fusion method reframes lower bounds as a static cover problem: pick a subset Omega of functions and lower bound circuit size by the minimum number of abstract…
