Description: Bürgisser, a top expert on algebraic complexity theory, has written a monograph on current research in this field. This book gives new results in the theory of NP-completeness. It is written for mathematicians and computer scientists on both research and graduate level.
Review Quotes:
".... The subject matter of the book is not easy, since it involves prerequisites from several areas, among them complexity theory, combinatorics, analytic number theory, and representations of symmetric and general linear groups. But the author goes to great lengths to motivate his results, to put them into perspective, and to explain the proofs carefully. In summary, this monograph advances its area of algebraic complexity theory, and is a must for people for working on this subject. And it is a pleasure to read."
