Derandomizing homomorphism testing in general groups
The main result of this paper is a near-optimal derandomization of the affine homomorphism test of Blum, Luby and Rubinfeld (Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 1993). We sho...

Bypassing the embedding: algorithms for low dimensional metrics
The doubling dimension of a metric is the smallest k such that any ball of radius 2r can be covered using 2k balls of raThis concept for abstract metrics has been proposed as a na...

Quantum and classical query complexities of local search are polynomially related
Let f be an integer valued function on a finite set V . We call an undirected graph G(V, E) a neighborhood structure for f. The problem of finding a local minimum for f can be phr...

New notions of security: achieving universal composability without trusted setup
We propose a modification to the framework of Universally Composable (UC) security [3]. Our new notion, involves comparing the protocol executions with an ideal execution involvin...

Lower bounds for dynamic connectivity
We prove an (lg n) cell-probe lower bound on maintaining connectivity in dynamic graphs, as well as a more general trade-off between updates and queries. Our bound holds even if t...

Bounded-concurrent secure multi-party computation with a dishonest majority
We show how to securely realize any multi-party functionality in a way that preserves security under an a-priori bounded number of concurrent executions, regardless of the number ...

Approximate max-integral-flow/min-multicut theorems
We establish several approximate max-integral-flow / minmulticut theorems. While in general this ratio can be very large, we prove strong approximation ratios in the case where th...

Hit-and-run from a corner
We show that the hit-and-run random walk mixes rapidly starting from any interior point of a convex body. This is the first random walk known to have this property. In contrast, t...
