DESCRIPTION:Valiant's theory is often described as a model of computation 
 over  \nfields and compared to the generalized Turing machines of Blum\, S
 hub  \nand Smale. I will present it more as a theory of computations by  \
 narithmetic circuits. I will give the basic definitions and results  \nand
  introduce some of the main open problems in the field.
