Proof for non-existence of short integer program for squares
We do not know if $P=NP$ or not or if there is a superfast integer mutiplication algorithm. But I do not think either assumption is necessary to answer this question.
Is there a way to show within an ...

Why cannot we adapt Barvinok type counting techniques to general convex integer programs?
Decision problems in Integer Linear Programming have Lenstra type algorithms (https://www.math.leidenuniv.nl/~lenstrahw/PUBLICATIONS/1983i/art.pdf) have been generalized to convex integer program ...

Nonexistence of short integer program sequence which generates squares
Is there a way to show within an integer program with constant number of variables and constraints of length $poly(\log B)$ (say length $\leq10^{1000000}\log B$), it is not possible for a variable to ...

Will an integer program to deterministically factor integers help derandomize $\mathbb F_q[x]$ factoring?
There are many analogies between the objects $\mathbb F_q[x]$ and $\mathbb Z$.
Supposing there is a fixed (say $10^9$) dimension linear integer program (describable without any objective function) in ...

Questions in number theory related to $NC$ and $P$-completeness
Given $a,b\in\mathbb N$ find $\operatorname{GCD}(a,b)$.
Given $a,b,c\in\mathbb N$ find $x,y\in\mathbb Z$ such that $ax+by=c$.
Euclidean algorithm solves both.
My question is if either 1 or 2 is in ...

Domination in Nice Lattices
Let an integer vector be nice when it has only two nonzero components, which sum to zero. So (0, 0, 3, 0, -3) and (-1, 0, 1, 0, 0) are examples of nice vectors in $n=5$ dimensions.
Call a lattice ...
