Abstract

I will give a gentle introduction to recent research for finding efficient algorithms for natural problems in geometric invariant theory.
While the original motivation for this research came from algebraic complexity theory, surprising connections to a diverse set of problems in different areas of mathematics, computer science, and physics popped up.
