Bipartite Exact Matching in P

The Exact Matching problem asks whether a bipartite graph with edges colored red and blue admits a perfect matching with exactly $t$ red edges. Introduced by Papadimitriou and Yannakakis in 1982, it has been in randomized polynomial time since Mulmuley-Vazirani-Vazirani (1987) while membership in P stayed open for four decades. The paper claims a deterministic polynomial-time algorithm, replacing probabilistic amplification with deterministic evaluations.
