We show that the rank of a depth-3 circuit (over any field) that is simple, minimal and zero is at most k^3log d. The previous best rank bound known was 2^{O(k^2)}(log d)^{k-2} by Dvir and Shpilka (STOC 2005). This almost resolves the rank question first posed by Dvir and Shpilka (as we also provide a simple and minimal identity of rank Omega(klog d)). Our rank bound significantly improves (dependence on k exponentially reduced) the best known deterministic black-box identity tests for depth-3 circuits by Karnin and Shpilka (CCC 2008). Our techniques also shed light on the factorization pattern of nonzero depth-3 circuits, most strikingly: the rank of linear factors of a simple, minimal and nonzero depth-3 circuit (over any field) is at most k^3log d. The novel feature of this work is a new notion of maps between sets of linear forms, called ideal matchings, used to study depth-3 circuits. We prove interesting structural results about depth-3 identities using these techniques. We believe that these can lead to the goal of a deterministic polynomial time identity test for these circuits.
Halfspaces or linear threshold functions are widely studied in complexity theory, learning theory and algorithm design. In this work we study the natural problem of constructing pseudorandom generators (PRGs) for halfspaces over the sphere, aka spher
One of the strongest techniques available for showing lower bounds on quantum communication complexity is the logarithm of the approximation rank of the communication matrix--the minimum rank of a matrix which is entrywise close to the communication
We prove upper bounds on deterministic communication complexity in terms of log of the rank and simp
Let $C$ be a depth-3 arithmetic circuit of size at most $s$, computing a polynomial $ f in mathbb{F}[x_1,ldots, x_n] $ (where $mathbb{F}$ = $mathbb{Q}$ or $mathbb{C}$) and the fan-in of the product gates of $C$ is bounded by $d$. We give a determinis
The problem of finding large cliques in random graphs and its planted variant, where one wants to recover a clique of size $omega gg log{(n)}$ added to an Erdos-Renyi graph $G sim G(n,frac{1}{2})$, have been intensely studied. Nevertheless, existing
