Auctions with Severely Bounded Communication
We study auctions with severe bounds on the communication allowed: each bidder may only transmit t bits of information to the auctioneer. We consider both welfare- and profit-max...

Learning a Hidden Matching
We consider the problem of learning a matching (i.e., a graph in which all vertices have degree 0 or 1) in a model where the only allowed operation is to query whether a set of ve...

Bounded-Depth Frege Lower Bounds for Weaker Pigeonhole Principles
We prove a quasi-polynomial lower bound on the size of bounded-depth Frege proofs of the pigeonhole principle PHPm n where m ´1 · 1 polylog nµn. This lower bound qualitatively ...

Testing Juntas
We consider the problem of testing functions for the property of being a k-junta (i.e., of depending on at most k variables). Fischer, Kindler, Ron, Safra, and Samorodnitsky (J. Co...

Concurrent Zero Knowledge with Logarithmic Round-Complexity
We show that every language in NP has a (black-box) concurrent zero-knowledge proof system using ˜O(log n) rounds of interaction. The number of rounds in our protocol is optimal,...
