$\newcommand{\NP}{\mathsf{NP}}\newcommand{\GapSVP}{\textrm{GapSVP}}$We give a simple proof that the (approximate, decisional) Shortest Vector Problem is $\NP$-hard under a randomized reduction. Specifically, we show that for any $p \geq 1$…

We show that, assuming NP $\not\subseteq$ $\cap_{\delta > 0}$DTIME$\left(\exp{n^\delta}\right)$, the shortest vector problem for lattices of rank $n$ in any finite $\ell_p$ norm is hard to approximate within a factor of $2^{(\log n)^{1 -…

Finding sparse vectors is a fundamental problem that arises in several contexts including codes, subspaces, and lattices. In this work, we prove strong inapproximability results for all these variants using a novel approach that even…

Recent work [BGS17,ABGS19] has shown SETH hardness of CVP in the $\ell_p$ norm for any $p$ that is not an even integer. This result was shown by giving a Karp reduction from $k$-SAT on $n$ variables to CVP on a lattice of rank $n$. In this…

A lattice is the integer span of some linearly independent vectors. Lattice problems have many significant applications in coding theory and cryptographic systems for their conjectured hardness. The Shortest Vector Problem (SVP), which is…

We introduce a new class of algorithms for finding a short vector in lattices defined by codes of co-dimension $k$ over $\mathbb{Z}_P^d$, where $P$ is prime. The co-dimension $1$ case is solved by exploiting the packing properties of the…

We give several improvements on the known hardness of the unique shortest vector problem. - We give a deterministic reduction from the shortest vector problem to the unique shortest vector problem. As a byproduct, we get deterministic…

We study the shortest vector lengths in module lattices over arbitrary number fields, with an emphasis on cyclotomic fields. In particular, we sharpen the techniques of arXiv:2308.15275v2 to establish improved results for the variance of…

We give a deterministic O(log n)^n algorithm for the {\em Shortest Vector Problem (SVP)} of a lattice under {\em any} norm, improving on the previous best deterministic bound of n^O(n) for general norms and nearly matching the bound of…

The Closest Vector Problem (CVP) is a computational problem in lattices that is central to modern cryptography. The study of its fine-grained complexity has gained momentum in the last few years, partly due to the upcoming deployment of…

The problem of finding short vectors in Euclidean lattices is a central hard problem in complexity theory. The case of module lattices (i.e., lattices which are also modules over a number ring) is of particular interest for cryptography and…

A particular instance of the Shortest Vector Problem (SVP) appears in the context of Compute-and-Forward. Despite the NP-hardness of the SVP, we will show that this certain instance can be solved in complexity order $O(n\psi\log(n\psi))$…

We give a randomized $2^{n+o(n)}$-time and space algorithm for solving the Shortest Vector Problem (SVP) on n-dimensional Euclidean lattices. This improves on the previous fastest algorithm: the deterministic $\widetilde{O}(4^n)$-time and…

Minkowski proved that any $n$-dimensional lattice of unit determinant has a nonzero vector of Euclidean norm at most $\sqrt{n}$; in fact, there are $2^{\Omega(n)}$ such lattice vectors. Lattices whose minimum distances come close to…

We give a deterministic algorithm for solving the (1+eps)-approximate Closest Vector Problem (CVP) on any n dimensional lattice and any norm in 2^{O(n)}(1+1/eps)^n time and 2^n poly(n) space. Our algorithm builds on the lattice point…

The current paper investigates the bounded distance decoding (BDD) problem for ensembles of lattices whose generator matrices have sub-Gaussian entries. We first prove that, for these ensembles the BDD problem is NP-hard in the worst case.…

The Super-SAT or SSAT problem was introduced by Dinur et al.(2002,2003) to prove the NP-hardness of approximation of two popular lattice problems - Shortest Vector Problem(SVP) and Closest Vector Problem(CVP). They conjectured that SSAT is…

We prove that computing a shortest monotone path to the optimum of a linear program over a simple polytope is NP-hard, thus resolving a 2022 open question of De Loera, Kafer, and Sanit\`a. As a consequence, finding a shortest sequence of…
