If you tensor it a lot of times, what you end up seeing is a low degree multivariate polynomial. And this tensor operation is what really underlies the sum check protocol. So in that sense, when you do tensoring, you have some kind of blow up of the original code.
This week, host Anna Rose and Nico Mohnblatt chat with Ron Rothblum, Professor of Computer Science at Technion. They explore information theory and ZK, diving into the weeds on multiple topics including error correcting codes, FRI, FFTs, Reed-Solomon encoding, Fiat-Shamir and more.
