AN OVERVIEW OF MATHEMATICAL ISSUES ARISING IN THE GEOMETRIC COMPLEXITY THEORY APPROACH TO VP VNP Academic Article

abstract

• We discuss the geometry of orbit closures and the asymptotic behavior of Kronecker coefficients in the context of the geometric complexity theory program to prove a variant of Valiant's algebraic analogue of the P = NP conjecture. We also describe the precise separation of complexity classes that their program proposes to demonstrate. 2011 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
