We show that the GCD of two univariate polynomials can be computed by (piece-wise) algebraic circuits of constant depth and polynomial size over any sufficiently large field, regardless of the characteristic. This extends a recent result of Andrews \& Wigderson who showed such an upper bound over fields of zero ... more >>>
We show that algebraic formulas and constant-depth circuits are \emph{closed} under taking factors. In other words, we show that if a multivariate polynomial over a field of characteristic zero has a small constant-depth circuit or formula, then all its factors can be computed by small constant-depth circuits or formulas ... more >>>
Polynomial factorization is a fundamental problem in computational algebra. Over the past half century, a variety of algorithmic techniques have been developed to tackle different variants of this problem. In parallel, algebraic complexity theory classifies polynomials into complexity classes based on their perceived `hardness'. This raises a natural question: Do ... more >>>
