Abstract
Valiant’s theory is often described as a model of computation over fields and compared to the generalized Turing machines of Blum, Shub and Smale. I will present it more as a theory of computations by arithmetic circuits. I will give the basic definitions and results and introduce some of the main open problems in the field.
