### Sum of Squares over Rationals

#### J. Capco, C. Scheiderer

RISC. Technical report, 2019. [url] [pdf]
@techreport{RISC5884,
author = {J. Capco and C. Scheiderer},
title = {{Sum of Squares over Rationals}},
language = {english},
abstract = {Recently it has been shown that a multivariate (homogeneous) polynomialwith rational coefficients that can be written as a sum of squares offorms with real coefficients, is not necessarily a sum of squares offorms with rational coefficients. Essentially, only one constructionfor such forms is known, namely taking the $K/\Q$-norm of a sufficientlygeneral form with coefficients in a number field $K$. Whether thisconstruction yields a form with the desired properties depends onGalois-theoretic properties of $K$ that are not yet well understood.We construct new families of examples, and we shed new light on somewell-known open questions.},

### On the Complexity of Unsatisfiable Primitive Recursively defined $\Sigma_1$-Sentences

@inproceedings{RISC5841,
author = {David M. Cerna},
title = {{On the Complexity of Unsatisfiable Primitive Recursively defined $\Sigma_1$-Sentences}},
booktitle = {{T.B.D}},
language = {english},
abstract = {We introduce a measure of complexity based on formula occurrence within instance proofs of an inductive statement. Our measure is closely related to {\em Herbrand Sequent length}, but instead of capturing the number of necessary term instantiations, it captures the finite representational difficulty of a recursive sequence of proofs. We restrict ourselves to a class of unsatisfiable primitive recursively defined negation normal form first-order sentences, referred to as {\em abstract sentences}, which capture many problems of interest; for example, variants of the {\em infinitary pigeonhole principle}. This class of sentences has been particularly useful for inductive formal proof analysis and proof transformation. Together our complexity measure and abstract sentences allow use to capture a notion of {\em tractability} for state-of-the-art approaches to inductive theorem proving, in particular {\em loop discovery} and {\em tree grammar} based inductive theorem provers. We provide a complexity analysis of an important abstract sentence, and discuss the analysis of a few related sentences, based on the infinitary pigeonhole principle which we conjecture represent the upper limits of tractability and foundation of intractability with respect to the current approaches.},

### Evaluation of the VL Logic (342.208-9) 2018W End of Semester Questionnaire

title = {{Evaluation of the VL Logic (342.208-9) 2018W End of Semester Questionnaire}},
language = {english},
abstract = {In this technical report we cover the choice of layout and intentions behind our end of the semester questionnaire as well as our interpretation of student answers, resulting statistical analysis, and inferences. Our questionnaire is to some extent free-form in that we provide instructions concerning the desired content of the answers but leave the precise formulation of the answer to the student. Our goal, through this approach, was to gain an understanding of how the students viewed there own progress and interest in the course without explicitly guiding them. Towards this end, we chose to have the students draw curves supplemented by short descriptions of important features. We end with a discussion of the benefits and downsides of such a questionnaire as well as what the results entail concerning future iterations of the course. },
