We study error exponents for the problem of low-rate communication over a directed graph, where each edge in the graph represents a noisy communication channel, and there is a single source and destination. We derive maxflow-based…

We show a new lower bound on the sample complexity of $(\varepsilon, \delta)$-differentially private algorithms that accurately answer statistical queries on high-dimensional databases. The novelty of our bound is that it depends optimally…

We study the role of interaction in the Common Randomness Generation (CRG) and Secret Key Generation (SKG) problems. In the CRG problem, two players, Alice and Bob, respectively get samples $X_1,X_2,\dots$ and $Y_1,Y_2,\dots$ with the pairs…

We investigate one-way communication scenarios where Bob manipulating on his parts can transfer some sub-system to the environment. We define reduced versions of quantum communication rates and further, prove new upper bounds on one-way…

We prove tight lower bounds for the following variant of the counting problem considered by Aaronson, Kothari, Kretschmer, and Thaler (2020). The task is to distinguish whether an input set $x\subseteq [n]$ has size either $k$ or…

Independent samples from an unknown probability distribution $\bf p$ on a domain of size $k$ are distributed across $n$ players, with each player holding one sample. Each player can communicate $\ell$ bits to a central referee in a…
