Consider the problem of determining whether there exists a spanning hypertree in a given k-uniform hypergraph. This problem is trivially in P for k=2, and is NP-complete for k>= 4, whereas for k=3, there exists a polynomial-time algorithm based on Lovasz theory of polymatroid matching. Here we give a completely different, randomized polynomial-time algorithm in the case k=3. The main ingredients are a Pfaffian formula by Vaintrob and one of the authors (G.M.) for a polynomial that enumerates spanning hypertrees with some signs, and a lemma on the number of roots of polynomials over a finite field.

It is well known that the containment problem (as well as the equivalence problem) for semilinear sets is $log$-complete in $Pi_2^p$. It had been shown quite recently that already the containment problem for multi-dimensional linear sets is $log$-com
plete in $Pi_2^p$ (where hardness even holds for a unary encoding of the numerical input parameters). In this paper, we show that already the containment problem for $1$-dimensional linear sets (with binary encoding of the numerical input parameters) is $log$-hard (and therefore also $log$-complete) in $Pi_2^p$. However, combining both restrictions (dimension $1$ and unary encoding), the problem becomes solvable in polynomial time.
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
tic polynomial identity testing algorithm to check whether $fequiv 0$ or not in time $ 2^d text{ poly}(n,s) $.
The Lagrangian of a hypergraph has been a useful tool in hypergraph extremal problems. In most applications, we need an upper bound for the Lagrangian of a hypergraph. Frankl and Furedi in cite{FF} conjectured that the $r$-graph with $m$ edges formed
by taking the first $m$ sets in the colex ordering of ${mathbb N}^{(r)}$ has the largest Lagrangian of all $r$-graphs with $m$ edges. In this paper, we give some partial results for this conjecture.
We prove two results that shed new light on the monotone complexity of the spanning tree polynomial, a classic polynomial in algebraic complexity and beyond. First, we show that the spanning tree polynomials having $n$ variables and defined over co
nstant-degree expander graphs, have monotone arithmetic complexity $2^{Omega(n)}$. This yields the first strongly exponential lower bound on the monotone arithmetic circuit complexity for a polynomial in VP. Before this result, strongly exponential size monotone lower bounds were known only for explicit polynomials in VNP (Gashkov-Sergeev12, Raz-Yehudayoff11, Srinivasan20, Cavalar-Kumar-Rossman20, Hrubes-Yehudayoff21). Recently, Hrubes20 initiated a program to prove lower bounds against general arithmetic circuits by proving $epsilon$-sensitive lower bounds for monotone arithmetic circuits for a specific range of values for $epsilon in (0,1)$. We consider the spanning tree polynomial $ST_{n}$ defined over the complete graph on $n$ vertices and show that the polynomials $F_{n-1,n} - epsilon cdot ST_{n}$ and $F_{n-1,n} + epsilon cdot ST_{n}$ defined over $n^2$ variables, have monotone circuit complexity $2^{Omega(n)}$ if $epsilon geq 2^{-Omega(n)}$ and $F_{n-1,n} = prod_{i=2}^n (x_{i,1} +cdots + x_{i,n})$ is the complete set-multilinear polynomial. This provides the first $epsilon$-sensitive exponential lower bound for a family of polynomials inside VP. En-route, we consider a problem in 2-party, best partition communication complexity of deciding whether two sets of oriented edges distributed among Alice and Bob form a spanning tree or not. We prove that there exists a fixed distribution, under which the problem has low discrepancy with respect to every nearly-balanced partition. This result could be of interest beyond algebraic complexity.
There is a remarkable connection between the maximum clique number and the Lagrangian of a graph given by T. S. Motzkin and E.G. Straus in 1965. This connection and its extensions were successfully employed in optimization to provide heuristics for t
he maximum clique number in graphs. It is useful in practice if similar results hold for hypergraphs. In this paper, we explore evidences that the Lagrangian of a 3-uniform hypergraph is related to the order of its maximum cliques when the number of edges of the hypergraph is in certain range. In particular, we present some results about a conjecture introduced by Y. Peng and C. Zhao (2012) and describe a combinatorial algorithm that can be used to check the validity of the conjecture.
