Lower Bounds for the Football Pool Problem for 7 and 8 Matches
Let k3(n) denote the minimal cardinality of a ternary code of length n and covering radius one. In this paper we show k3(7) ≥ 156 and k3(8) ≥ 402 improving on the best previou...

A Spectral Approach to Lower Bounds
We establish a nonlinear lower bound for halfplane range searching over a group. Specifically, we show that summing up the weights of n (weighted) points within n halfplanes requir...

Polynomial Vicinity Circuits and Nonlinear Lower Bounds
We study families of Boolean circuits with the property that the number of gates at distance t fanning into or out of any given gate in a circuit is bounded above by a polynomial ...

Property Testing Lower Bounds via Communication Complexity
We develop a new technique for proving lower bounds in property testing, by showing a strong connection between testing and communication complexity. We give a simple scheme for r...

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...
