Data Structures Lower Bounds and Popular Conjectures

Computational Complexity 2021-02-19 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the relative power of several conjectures that attracted recently lot of interest. We establish a connection between the Network Coding Conjecture (NCC) of Li and Li and several data structure like problems such as non-adaptive function inversion of Hellman and the well-studied problem of polynomial evaluation and interpolation. In turn these data structure problems imply super-linear circuit lower bounds for explicit functions such as integer sorting and multi-point polynomial evaluation.
