Communication complexity problems (CCPs) are tasks in which separated parties attempt to compute a function whose inputs are distributed among the parties. Their communication is limited so that not all inputs can be sent. We show that…
Parity constraints, common in application domains such as circuit verification, bounded model checking, and logical cryptanalysis, are not necessarily most efficiently solved if translated into conjunctive normal form. Thus, specialized…
This is a presentation of recent work on quantum permutation groups, complex Hadamard matrices, and the connections between them. A long list of problems is included. We include as well some conjectural statements, about matrix models.
This paper proposes a new hybrid high-order discretization for the biharmonic problem and the corresponding eigenvalue problem. The discrete ansatz space includes degrees of freedom in $n-2$ dimensional submanifolds (e.g., nodal values in…
In this note, we study the relation between the parity decision tree complexity of a boolean function $f$, denoted by $\mathrm{D}_{\oplus}(f)$, and the $k$-party number-in-hand multiparty communication complexity of the XOR functions…
When facing large-scale image datasets, online hashing serves as a promising solution for online retrieval and prediction tasks. It encodes the online streaming data into compact binary codes, and simultaneously updates the hash functions…
We consider a robust variant of the classical $k$-median problem, introduced by Anthony et al. \cite{AnthonyGGN10}. In the \emph{Robust $k$-Median problem}, we are given an $n$-vertex metric space $(V,d)$ and $m$ client sets $\set{S_i…
We survey two decades of work on the (sequential) topological complexity of configuration spaces of graphs (ordered and unordered), aiming to give an account that is unifying, elementary, and self-contained. We discuss the traditional…
A celebrated important result due to Freedman, Larsen and Wang states that providing additive approximations of the Jones polynomial at the k'th root of unity, for constant k=5 and k>6, is BQP-hard. Together with the algorithmic results of…
Many applications of automated deduction require reasoning in first-order logic modulo background theories, in particular some form of integer arithmetic. A major unsolved research challenge is to design theorem provers that are "reasonably…

We formalise, in Coq, the opening sections of Parity Complexes [Street1991] up to and including the all important excision of extremals algorithm. Parity complexes describe the essential combinatorial structure exhibited by simplexes, cubes…
We continue the study of counting complexity begun in [Buergisser, Cucker 04] and [Buergisser, Cucker, Lotz 05] by proving upper and lower bounds on the complexity of computing the Hilbert polynomial of a homogeneous ideal. We show that the…
We prove a complexity dichotomy theorem for Holant Problems on 3-regular graphs with an arbitrary complex-valued edge function. Three new techniques are introduced: (1) higher dimensional iterations in interpolation; (2) Eigenvalue Shifted…
We show how an algorithm for the problem of inverting a permutation may be used to design one for the problem of unordered search (with a unique solution). Since there is a straightforward reduction in the reverse direction, the problems…

The complexity of a homogeneous space $G/H$ under a reductive group $G$ is by definition the codimension of generic orbits in $G/H$ of a Borel subgroup $B\subseteq G$. We give a representation-theoretic interpretation of this number as the…
