The Harary-Hill Conjecture states that for $n\geq 3$ every drawing of $K_n$ has at least \begin{align*} H(n) :=…
We study the one-way number-on-the-forehead (NOF) communication complexity of the $k$-layer pointer jumping problem with $n$ vertices per layer. This classic problem, which has connections to many aspects of complexity theory, has seen a…
We introduce Hausdorff (complexity) classes, which provide canonical characterizations of the intermediate levels of the iterated exponential hierarchies, including the Polynomial Hierarchy, the (Weak) Exponential Hierarchy, and…
In recent work of Monthoux and Pines~[1] and also in Rice et {\sl al.}'s work~[2], quasi-averages like $\langle c_{k \uparrow} c_{- k \downarrow} \rangle$ were considered even in the case of a dimension less or equal two. But it is well…
We consider the problem of encoding two-dimensional arrays, whose elements come from a total order, for answering \topk{} queries. The aim is to obtain encodings that use space close to the information-theoretic lower bound, which can be…
Kim, K\"uhn, Osthus and Tyomkyn (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 371 (2019), 4655--4742) greatly extended the well-known blow-up lemma of Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi by proving a `blow-up lemma for approximate decompositions' which states…
Two BPHZ convergence theorems are proved directly in Euclidean position space, without exponentiating the propagators, making use of the Cluster Convergence Theorem presented previously. The first theorem proves the absolute convergence of…
We present a pumping lemma for each level of the collapsible pushdown graph hierarchy in analogy to the second author's pumping lemma for higher-order pushdown graphs (without collapse). Using this lemma, we give the first known examples…
Holant problem is a general framework to study the computational complexity of counting problems. We prove a complexity dichotomy theorem for Holant problems over Boolean domain with non-negative weights. It is the first complete Holant…
We use monadic second-order logic to define two-dimensional subshifts, or sets of colorings of the infinite plane. We present a natural family of quantifier alternation hierarchies, and show that they all collapse to the third level. In…
The notion of $\alpha$-equivalence between $\lambda$-terms is commonly used to identify terms that are considered equal. However, due to the primitive treatment of free variables, this notion falls short when comparing subterms occurring…
Let $ \ti \Om $ be a bounded convex domain in Euclidean $ n $ space, $ \hat x \in \ar \ti \Om, $ and $ r > 0. $ Let $ \ti u = (\ti u^1, \ti u^2, \dots, \ti u^N) $ be a weak solution to \[\nabla \cdot \left (|\nabla \ti u |^{p-2} \nabla \ti…
A $k$-collision for a compressing hash function $H$ is a set of $k$ distinct inputs that all map to the same output. In this work, we show that for any constant $k$, $\Theta\left(N^{\frac{1}{2}(1-\frac{1}{2^k-1})}\right)$ quantum queries…
Non-wellfounded proof theory results from allowing proofs of infinite height in proof theory. To guarantee that there is no vicious infinite reasoning, it is usual to add a constraint to the possible infinite paths appearing in a proof.…
Let $f: T\to \{ 0,1 \}$ be a Boolean function on the Boolean half-slice, $T$, \ie elements of $\{0,1\}^n$ with Hamming weight $n/2$. We show that if $f(x)+f(y)=f(x+y)$ holds with probability $\frac{1+\delta}{2}$ over a uniform pair $(x,y)$…
We prove the following results solving a problem raised in [Y. Caro, R. Yuster, On zero-sum and almost zero-sum subgraphs over $\mathbb{Z}$, Graphs Combin. 32 (2016), 49--63]. For a positive integer $m\geq 2$, $m\neq 4$, there are…
We prove that relational structures admitting specific polymorphisms (namely, canonical pseudo-WNU operations of all arities $n \geq 3$) have low relational width. This implies a collapse of the bounded width hierarchy for numerous classes…
We investigate query-to-communication lifting theorems for models related to the quantum adversary bounds. Our results are as follows: 1. We show that the classical adversary bound lifts to a lower bound on randomized communication…
Bell's theorem is a conflict of mathematical predictions formulated within an infinite hierarchy of mathematical models. Inequalities formulated at level $k\in\mathbb{Z}$, are violated by probabilities at level $k+1$. We are inclined to…
Let $\mathcal{F}_{n}^*$ be the set of Boolean functions depending on all $n$ variables. We prove that for any $f\in \mathcal{F}_{n}^*$, $f|_{x_i=0}$ or $f|_{x_i=1}$ depends on the remaining $n-1$ variables, for some variable $x_i$. This…
