Course Description

Overview

Explore a 25-minute IEEE conference talk that delves into the intricacies of symbolic determinant identity testing (SDIT) and its relationship to null cone problems. Discover why SDIT is not classified as a null cone problem and gain insights into the symmetries of algebraic varieties. Join speakers Visu Makam and Avi Wigderson from the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) as they guide you through topics including noncommutative identities, algebraic problems, and the main result of their research. Follow along with the structured presentation, starting from the introduction and progressing through the proof, to enhance your understanding of this complex mathematical concept.
