Exponential separations for one-way quantum communication complexity, with applications to cryptography
We give an exponential separation between one-way quantum and classical communication protocols for two partial Boolean functions, both of which are variants of the Boolean Hidden...

Inverse Roles Make Conjunctive Queries Hard
Abstract. Conjunctive query answering is an important DL reasoning task. Although this task is by now quite well-understood, tight complexity bounds for conjunctive query answering...

Pure Nash equilibria: complete characterization of hard and easy graphical games
We consider the computational complexity of pure Nash equilibria in graphical games. It is known that the problem is NP-complete in general, but tractable (i.e., in P) for special...

A DNA Superstructure-based Replicator without Product Inhibition
A monomer structure based on a hairpin loop is described that can be linked via short oligonucleotide sequences (linkers) to form polymers. Independence of linked monomers allow fo...

On the complexity of communication complexity
We consider the following question: given a two-argument boolean function f, represented as an N ? N binary matrix, how hard is to determine the (deterministic) communication comp...
