On the Communication Complexity of Read-Once AC^0 Formulae
Abstract--We study the 2-party randomized communication complexity of read-once AC0 formulae. For balanced AND-OR trees T with n inputs and depth d, we show that the communication ...

On the Complexity of Boolean Functions in Different Characteristics
Every Boolean function on n variables can be expressed as a unique multivariate polynomial modulo p for every prime p. In this work, we study how the degree of a function in one c...

Extractors for Low-Weight Affine Sources
We give polynomial time computable extractors for low-weight affince sources. A distribution is affine if it samples a random points from some unknown low dimensional subspace of ...

One-Way Functions and the Berman-Hartmanis Conjecture
—The Berman-Hartmanis conjecture states that all NP-complete sets are P-isomorphic each other. On this conjecture, we first improve the result of [3] and show that all NP-comple...

Inapproximability of Vertex Cover and Independent Set in Bounded Degree Graphs
We study the inapproximability of Vertex Cover and Independent Set on degree d graphs. We prove that: • Vertex Cover is Unique Games-hard to approximate to within a factor 2−(...

An Almost Optimal Rank Bound for Depth-3 Identities
—We show that the rank of a depth-3 circuit (over any field) that is simple, minimal and zero is at most O(k3 log d). The previous best rank bound known was 2O(k2 ) (log d)k−2...

Locally Testable Codes Require Redundant Testers
Locally testable codes (LTCs) are error-correcting codes for which membership, in the code, of a given word can be tested by examining it in very few locations. Most known constru...
