Abstract

Powerful skew arithmetic circuits are introduced. These are skew arithmetic circuits with variables, where input gates can be labelled with powers \(x^n\) for binary encoded numbers n. It is shown that polynomial identity testing for powerful skew arithmetic circuits belongs to \(\mathsf {coRNC}^2\), which generalizes a corresponding result for (standard) skew circuits. Two applications of this result are presented: (i) Equivalence of higher-dimensional straight-line programs can be tested in \(\mathsf {coRNC}^2\); this result is even new in the one-dimensional case, where the straight-line programs produce strings. (ii) The compressed word problem (or circuit evaluation problem) for certain wreath products belongs to \(\mathsf {coRNC}^2\). Full proofs can be found in the long version [13].
