Sumcheck 201, Chapter 2: Checkfold - Folding Sumcheck Instances

Abstract

In this chapter, we construct a knowledge-reduction argument for the sumcheck protocol that reduces the proving of a large-sized sum-check to the proving of a folded small-sized sum-check.

The folding argument is proven using a batched sum-check protocol that verifies the linear independence and satisfiability of each of the folded instances. The method is more suitable for large fields, where the problem is memory bound.
