PDF logo A direct proof of Mulmuley's weak #P versus NC result

by Boris Alexeev and Jacob Tsimerman

Abstract

We present a direct proof of a result Ketan Mulmuley presented at the Institute for Advanced Study during his lecture series "On \(\mathcal P\) vs \(\mathcal{NP}\), Geometric Complexity Theory, and the Riemann Hypothesis" on February 9–11, 2009. The result is intended as a "weak form" of \(\mathcal{\#P}\) versus \(\mathcal{NC}\) in characteristic zero.
