In this paper, we survey some of our new results on the complexity of a number of problems related to polynomial ideals. We consider multivariate polynomials over some ring, like the integers or the rationals. For instance, a polynomial ideal membership problem is a (w+ 1)-tupleP= (f,g1,g2, ?gwwherefand thegiare multivariate polynomials, and the problem is to determine whetherfis in the ideal generated by thegi. For polynomials over the integers or rationals, this problem is known to be…
