Complexity and Condition in Algebra and Numerics
This proposal connects three areas that are considered distant from each other: computational complexity, algebraic geometry, and numerics. In the last decade, it became clear that the fundamental questions of computational complexity (P vs NP) should be studied in algebraic settings, linking them to problems in algebraic geometry. Recent progress on this challenging and very difficult questions led to surprising progress in computational invariant theory, which we want to explore thoroughly. We expect this to lead to solutions of computational problems in invariant theory that currently are considered infeasible. The complexity of Hilbert's null cone (the set of "singular objects'')…
