Minimax option pricing meets black-scholes in the limit
Option contracts are a type of financial derivative that allow investors to hedge risk and speculate on the variation of an asset’s future market price. In short, an option has...

Separating multilinear branching programs and formulas
This work deals with the power of linear algebra in the context of multilinear computation. By linear algebra we mean algebraic branching programs (ABPs) which are known to be com...

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...

Nearly optimal solutions for the chow parameters problem and low-weight approximation of halfspaces
The Chow parameters of a Boolean function f : {−1, 1}n → {−1, 1} are its n + 1 degree-0 and degree-1 Fourier coefficients. It has been known since 1961 [Cho61, Tan61] that ...

On-the-fly multiparty computation on the cloud via multikey fully homomorphic encryption
We propose a new notion of secure multiparty computation aided by a computationally-powerful but untrusted “cloud” server. In this notion that we call on-the-fly multiparty c...

Tight lower bounds for the online labeling problem
We consider the file maintenance problem (also called the online labeling problem) in which n integer items from the set {1, . . . , r} are to be stored in an array of size m ≥...

An algorithmic characterization of multi-dimensional mechanisms
We obtain a characterization of feasible, Bayesian, multi-item multi-bidder mechanisms with independent, additive bidders as distributions over hierarchical mechanisms. Combined w...
