Permanent v. determinant: an exponential lower bound assumingsymmetry and a potential path towards Valiant's conjecture (1508.05788v2)
Published 24 Aug 2015 in math.AG and cs.CC
Abstract: We initiate a study of determinantal representations with symmetry. We show that Grenet's determinantal representation for the permanent is optimal among determinantal representations respecting left multiplication by permutation and diagonal matrices (roughly half the symmetry group of the permanent). In particular, if any optimal determinantal representation of the permanent must be polynomially related to one with such symmetry, then Valiant's conjecture on permanent v. determinant is true.
