A tight lower bound for restricted pir protocols
We show that any 1-round 2-server Private Information Retrieval Protocol where the answers are 1-bit long must ask questions that are at least n - 2 bits long, which is nearly equa...

A Near-Tight Lower Bound on the Time Complexity of Distributed Minimum-Weight Spanning Tree Construction
This paper presents a lower bound of (D + n/ log n) on the time required for the distributed construction of a minimum-weight spanning tree (MST) in weighted n-vertex networks of ...

Lower bounds for approximate polygon decomposition and minimum gap
We consider the problem of decomposing polygons (with holes) into various types of simpler polygons. We focus on the problem of partitioning a rectilinear polygon, with holes, int...

Revisiting the Direct Sum Theorem and Space Lower Bounds in Random Order Streams
Estimating frequency moments and Lp distances are well studied problems in the adversarial data stream model and tight space bounds are known for these two problems. There has been...

Lower Bounds on Implementing Robust and Resilient Mediators
We provide new and tight lower bounds on the ability of players to implement equilibria using cheap talk, that is, just allowing communication among the players. One of our main r...
