Efficient proof for Cartesian product

jp flag

I am trying to find some efficient zero-knowledge arguments that could prove the vector ${\bf v}$ is the Cartesian product of two vectors ${\bf x}$ and ${\bf y}$. I know there are efficient inner product arguments, but are there any efficient arguments for Cartesian products?

For example, given three (vector) commitments $com({\bf x})$, $com({\bf y})$, and $com({\bf v})$ to ${\bf x,y}$ and ${\bf v}$, respectively, how to prove the knowledge of the opening to the three commitments and ${\bf v}$ is the Cartesian product of ${\bf x,y}$.

You probably should spell out what you mean by "zk", and make it more clear how this is a crypto problem and not a math one.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
