Poly-logarithmic Independence Fools AC0 Circuits
We prove that poly-sized AC0 circuits cannot distinguish a poly-logarithmically independent distribution from the uniform one. This settles the 1990 conjecture by Linial and Nisan...

Fixed-Polynomial Size Circuit Bounds
—In 1982, Kannan showed that ΣP 2 does not have nk -sized circuits for any k. Do smaller classes also admit such circuit lower bounds? Despite several improvements of Kannan’s...

The Maximum Communication Complexity of Multi-Party Pointer Jumping
—We study the one-way number-on-the-forhead (NOF) communication complexity of the k-layer pointer jumping problem. Strong lower bounds for this problem would have important impli...

Reconstruction of Generalized Depth-3 Arithmetic Circuits with Bounded Top Fan-in
In this paper we give reconstruction algorithms for depth-3 arithmetic circuits with k multiplication gates (also known as ΣΠΣ(k) circuits), where k = O(1). Namely, we give an ...

Lower Bounds on Quantum Multiparty Communication Complexity
A major open question in communication complexity is if randomized and quantum communication are polynomially related for all total functions. So far, no gap larger than a power o...

A Multi-Round Communication Lower Bound for Gap Hamming and Some Consequences
—The Gap-Hamming-Distance problem arose in the context of proving space lower bounds for a number of key problems in the data stream model. In this problem, Alice and Bob have to...

Are PCPs Inherent in Efficient Arguments?
Starting with Kilian (STOC ‘92), several works have shown how to use probabilistically checkable proofs (PCPs) and cryptographic primitives such as collision-resistant hashing to...

New Results in the Simultaneous Message Passing Model via Information Theoretic Techniques
—Consider the following Simultaneous Message Passing (SMP) model for computing a relation f ⊆ X ×Y ×Z. In this model Alice, on input x ∈ X and Bob, on input y ∈ Y, send o...
