Reversible computing can reduce the energy dissipation of computation, which can improve cost-efficiency in some contexts. But the practical applicability of this method depends sensitively on the space and time overhead required by…

In this paper, we extend the techniques used in our previous work to show that there exists a probabilistic Turing machine running within time $O(n^k)$ for all $k\in\mathbb{N}_1$ accepting a language $L_d$ that is different from any…

Auditing mechanisms for differential privacy use probabilistic means to empirically estimate the privacy level of an algorithm. For private machine learning, existing auditing mechanisms are tight: the empirical privacy estimate (nearly)…

Condon and Lipton (FOCS 1989) showed that the class of languages having a space-bounded interactive proof system (IPS) is a proper subset of decidable languages, where the verifier is a probabilistic Turing machine. In this paper, we show…

We study a polynomial-time decision problem in which each input encodes a depth-$N$ causal execution in which a single non-duplicable token must traverse an ordered sequence of steps, revealing at most $O(1)$ bits of routing information at…

We develop and prove sound a concurrent separation logic for Pthreads-style barriers. Although Pthreads barriers are widely used in systems, and separation logic is widely used for verification, there has not been any effort to combine the…

Modern deployments increasingly allocate large test-time compute (thousands of tokens or many node expansions) to boost reliability. Under such budgets, standard Tree-of-Thoughts-style search exhibits two pathologies: breadth saturation…

A set is autoreducible if it can be reduced to itself by a Turing machine that does not ask its own input to the oracle. We use autoreducibility to separate the polynomial-time hierarchy from polynomial space by showing that all…

We recently proposed an approach for the specification and modular formal verification of the interactive (I/O) behavior of programs, based on an embedding of Petri nets into separation logic. While this approach is scalable and modular in…

We give a new formulation of Turing reducibility in terms of higher modalities, inspired by an embedding of the Turing degrees in the lattice of subtoposes of the effective topos discovered by Hyland. In this definition, higher modalities…
