Mulmuley and Sohoni came up with the approach to the Valiant version of the P versus NP problem using invariant theory. This approach leads to interesting questions related to the orbit closures of the algebraic group actions. It also shows that the P versus NP problem is closely related to two classical problems in representation theory of the general linear group. In this talk, I will discuss these connections and point out some easier problems that might be of interest to commutative algebraists.
