Hardness of Minimizing and Learning DNF Expressions
We study the problem of finding the minimum size DNF formula for a function f : {0, 1}d → {0, 1} given its truth table. We show that unless NP ⊆ DTIME(npoly(log n) ), there i...

On the Value of Multiple Read/Write Streams for Approximating Frequency Moments
We consider the read/write streams model, an extension of the standard data stream model in which an algorithm can create and manipulate multiple read/write streams in addition to...

Linear Level Lasserre Lower Bounds for Certain k-CSPs
We show that for k ≥ 3 even the Ω(n) level of the Lasserre hierarchy cannot disprove a random k-CSP instance over any predicate type implied by k-XOR constraints, for example ...

Noise Tolerance of Expanders and Sublinear Expander Reconstruction
We consider the problem of online sublinear expander reconstruction and its relation to random walks in “noisy” expanders. Given access to an adjacency list representation of ...

Spherical Cubes and Rounding in High Dimensions
What is the least surface area of a shape that tiles Rd under translations by Zd ? Any such shape must have volume 1 and hence surface area at least that of the volume-1 ball, nam...
