From query complexity to computational complexity
We consider submodular optimization problems, and provide a general way of translating oracle inapproximability results arising from the symmetry gap technique to computational co...

Flow-Cut Gaps for Integer and Fractional Multiflows
Consider a routing problem instance consisting of a demand graph H = (V, E(H)) and a supply graph G = (V, E(G)). If the pair obeys the cut condition, then the flow-cut gap for thi...

If NP Languages are Hard on the Worst-Case Then It is Easy to Find Their Hard Instances
We prove that if NP ⊆ BPP, i.e., if SAT is worst-case hard, then for every probabilistic polynomial-time algorithm trying to decide SAT, there exists some polynomially samplable ...

Strong direct product theorems for quantum communication and query complexity
A strong direct product theorem (SDPT) states that solving n instances of a problem requires ˝.n/ times the resources for a single instance, even to achieve success probability 2 ...
