Another look at degree lower bounds for polynomial calculus

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Polynomial complexity is an algebraic proof system inspired by Gröbner bases which was introduced by Clegg, Edmonds and Impagliazzo. Alekhnovich and Razborov devised a method for proving degree lower bounds for polynomial calculus. We present an alternative account of their method, which also encompasses a generalization due to Galesi and Lauria.
