Abstract

We extend the area of applications of the Abstract Harmonic Analysis to lower bounds on the circuit and decision tree complexity of Boolean functions related to some number theoretic problems. In particular, we prove that deciding if a given integer is square-free and testing co-primality of two integers by unbounded fan-in circuits of bounded depth requires superpolynomial size.
