Lower bounds in communication complexity based on factorization norms
We introduce a new method to derive lower bounds on randomized and quantum communication complexity. Our method is based on factorization norms, a notion from Banach Space theory....

Lower Bounding Klondike Solitaire with Monte-Carlo Planning
Despite its ubiquitous presence, very little is known about the odds of winning the simple card game of Klondike Solitaire. The main goal of this paper is to investigate the use o...

Directly lower bounding the information capacity for channels with I.I.D.deletions and duplications
We directly lower bound the information capacity for channels with i.i.d. deletions and duplications. Our approach differs from previous work in that we focus on the information ca...

Cohomology in Grothendieck Topologies and Lower Bounds in Boolean Complexity II: A Simple Example
In a previous paper we have suggested a number of ideas to attack circuit size complexity with cohomology. As a simple example, we take circuits that can only compute the AND of t...

Lower bounds for local search by quantum arguments
The problem of finding a local minimum of a black-box function is central for understanding local search as well as quantum adiabatic algorithms. For functions on the Boolean hype...
