Abstract:

Polynomial identity testing (PIT) is the problem of checking whether a given
arithmetic circuit is the zero circuit. PIT ranks as one of the most important
open problems in the intersection of algebra and computational complexity. In the last
few years, there has been an impressive progress on this problem but a complete
solution might take a while. In this article we give a soft survey exhibiting the ideas
that have been useful.
