To reframe the P vs. NP problem as an invariant-theoretic orbit separation question using algebraic geometry and representation theory.
Analyzed orbit closures of vectors under reductive group actions on representations.
Applied the Kostant multiplicity formula for weight multiplicities in irreducible representations of GL_n and Littlewood–Richardson coefficients for tensor decompositions.
Evaluated the Mulmuley–Sohoni conjecture regarding the separation of determinant and permanent orbit closures via quasi-polynomial degree invariants.
Formulated the separation of determinant and permanent orbit closures through G-invariant polynomials.
Identified that testing the positivity of Kronecker coefficients in triple tensor product multiplicities is #P-hard.
Connected orbit closure separation requirements to invariant rings and quasi-polynomial degree bounds.
