We study the round and communication complexities of various cryptographic protocols. We give tight lower bounds on the round and communication complexities of any fully black-box reduction of a statistically hiding commitment scheme from…
We study the communication complexity of linear algebraic problems over finite fields in the multi-player message passing model, proving a number of tight lower bounds. Specifically, for a matrix which is distributed among a number of…
We consider the communication complexity of finding an approximate maximum matching in a graph in a multi-party message-passing communication model. The maximum matching problem is one of the most fundamental graph combinatorial problems,…
We give a new complexity bound for calculating the complex dimension of an algebraic set. Our algorithm is completely deterministic and approaches the best recent randomized complexity bounds. We also present some new, significantly sharper…
This work studies distributed learning in the spirit of Yao's model of communication complexity: consider a two-party setting, where each of the players gets a list of labelled examples and they communicate in order to jointly perform some…
The Gap-Hamming-Distance problem arose in the context of proving space lower bounds for a number of key problems in the data stream model. In this problem, Alice and Bob have to decide whether the Hamming distance between their $n$-bit…
We consider the communication complexity of a number of distributed optimization problems. We start with the problem of solving a linear system. Suppose there is a coordinator together with $s$ servers $P_1, \ldots, P_s$, the $i$-th of…
We study the weakest model of quantum nondeterminism in which a classical proof has to be checked with probability one by a quantum protocol. We show the first separation between classical nondeterministic communication complexity and this…
The communication class $\mathbf{UPP}^{\text{cc}}$ is a communication analog of the Turing Machine complexity class $\mathbf{PP}$. It is characterized by a matrix-analytic complexity measure called sign-rank (also called dimension…
We explore multi-round quantum memoryless communication protocols. These are restricted version of multi-round quantum communication protocols. The "memoryless" term means that players forget history from previous rounds, and their behavior…
We give lower bounds on the communication complexity of graph problems in the multi-party blackboard model. In this model, the edges of an $n$-vertex input graph are partitioned among $k$ parties, who communicate solely by writing messages…
We initiate the theory of communication complexity of individual inputs held by the agents, rather than worst-case or average-case. We consider total, partial, and partially correct protocols, one-way versus two-way, with and without help…
It is known that the mutual information, in the sense of Kolmogorov complexity, of any pair of strings x and y is equal to the length of the longest shared secret key that two parties can establish via a probabilistic protocol with…
We define and study the model of patterned non-determinism in bipartite communication complexity, denoted by $PNP^{X\leftrightarrow Y}$. It generalises the known models $UP^{X\leftrightarrow Y}$ and $FewP^{X\leftrightarrow Y}$ through…
We prove that computing the deterministic communication complexity of a Boolean function, given its truth table, is \textsf{NP}-complete in the standard protocol-tree-depth model, addressing a meta-complexity question raised by Yao in 1979.…
We establish that the extension complexity of the nXn correlation polytope is at least 1.5^n by a short proof that is self-contained except for using the fact that every face of a polyhedron is the intersection of all facets it is contained…
We introduce a restriction of the classical 2-party deterministic communication protocol where Alice and Bob are restricted to using only comparison functions. We show that the complexity of a function in the model is, up to a constant…
In a multiparty message-passing model of communication, there are $k$ players. Each player has a private input, and they communicate by sending messages to one another over private channels. While this model has been used extensively in…
We study the effect that the amount of correlation in a bipartite distribution has on the communication complexity of a problem under that distribution. We introduce a new family of complexity measures that interpolates between the two…
The nearest lattice point problem in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is formulated in a distributed network with $n$ nodes. The objective is to minimize the probability that an incorrect lattice point is found, subject to a constraint on inter-node…
