Abstract

We prove that inequalities of arithmetic expressions over the ring of n×n matrices can be decided by probabilistic Turing machines working simultaneously within 0(logn) space and polynomial time. As a corollary we obtain: PrSPACE(logn)=PrTISP(n0(1),logn), which solves a problem that has been open for a long time.
