Ramsey-type theorems for metric spaces with applications to online problems
A nearly logarithmic lower bound on the randomized competitive ratio for the metrical task systems problem is presented. This implies a similar lower bound for the extensively stu...

Binary space partitions for axis-parallel line segments: Size-height tradeoffs
We present worst-case lower bounds on the minimum size of a binary space partition (BSP) tree as a function of its height, for a set S of n axis-parallel line segments in the plan...

Random Cnf's are Hard for the Polynomial Calculus
We show a general reduction that derives lower bounds on degrees of polynomial calculus proofs of tautologies over any field of characteristic other than 2 from lower bounds for r...

Hellinger Strikes Back: A Note on the Multi-party Information Complexity of AND
The AND problem on t bits is a promise decision problem where either at most one bit of the input is set to 1 (NO instance) or all t bits are set to 1 (YES instance). In this note...

Optimal Communication Complexity of Generic Multicast Key Distribution
We prove a tight lower bound for generic protocols for secure multicast key distribution where the messages sent by the group manager for rekeying the group are obtained by arbitra...
