  • Relations and Equivalences Between Circuit Lower Bounds and Karp-Lipton Theorems*
    Electronic Colloquium on Computational Complexity, Report No. 75 (2019) Relations and Equivalences Between Circuit Lower Bounds and Karp-Lipton Theorems* Lijie Chen Dylan M. McKay Cody D. Murray† R. Ryan Williams MIT MIT MIT Abstract A frontier open problem in circuit complexity is to prove PNP 6⊂ SIZE[nk] for all k; this is a neces- NP sary intermediate step towards NP 6⊂ P=poly. Previously, for several classes containing P , including NP NP NP , ZPP , and S2P, such lower bounds have been proved via Karp-Lipton-style Theorems: to prove k C 6⊂ SIZE[n ] for all k, we show that C ⊂ P=poly implies a “collapse” D = C for some larger class D, where we already know D 6⊂ SIZE[nk] for all k. It seems obvious that one could take a different approach to prove circuit lower bounds for PNP that does not require proving any Karp-Lipton-style theorems along the way. We show this intuition is wrong: (weak) Karp-Lipton-style theorems for PNP are equivalent to fixed-polynomial size circuit lower NP NP k NP bounds for P . That is, P 6⊂ SIZE[n ] for all k if and only if (NP ⊂ P=poly implies PH ⊂ i.o.-P=n ). Next, we present new consequences of the assumption NP ⊂ P=poly, towards proving similar re- sults for NP circuit lower bounds. We show that under the assumption, fixed-polynomial circuit lower bounds for NP, nondeterministic polynomial-time derandomizations, and various fixed-polynomial time simulations of NP are all equivalent. Applying this equivalence, we show that circuit lower bounds for NP imply better Karp-Lipton collapses.

  • Here Is Important Information About Housing Accommodations for Convocation 2017
    Here is important information about housing accommodations for Convocation 2017. St. Anne Retreat Center used to be a convent, there are very few double rooms (only four, actually), and they have all been reserved already. There are elevators in both buildings. The first floor bathroom in one building is designated “Handicap Accessible”, but there is still a lip at the edge of the shower. No roll-in showers are available. Most of the rooms at St. Anne Retreat Center have no air conditioning. This can be a problem in June in Kentucky, USA! If you need air conditioning and register by mail, please write a note on the registration form requesting a room with air conditioning and state why you need it. If you register online, please also send an email to [email protected] detailing your need for air conditioning. If all the air conditioned rooms have been assigned before your registration is received, we will let you know. Local Motels: If you prefer, there are motels in the vicinity, although the nearest ones are all booked up because of other events. In a motel you would be assured of air conditioning, bathrooms are more likely to be wheelchair friendly, and double rooms for couples would be an option. If you choose to stay off-site, your registration fee of $205 would cover all meals at St. Anne Retreat Center, as well as Convocation booklets and other materials. Arrangements for transportation to and from a motel to Convocation would be up to you. The following is a list of motels that are not too far from the Convocation site.

  • The Computational Complexity of Nash Equilibria in Concisely Represented Games∗
    Electronic Colloquium on Computational Complexity, Report No. 52 (2005) The Computational Complexity of Nash Equilibria in Concisely Represented Games∗ Grant R. Schoenebeck y Salil P. Vadhanz May 4, 2005 Abstract Games may be represented in many different ways, and different representations of games affect the complexity of problems associated with games, such as finding a Nash equilibrium. The traditional method of representing a game is to explicitly list all the payoffs, but this incurs an exponential blowup as the number of agents grows. We study two models of concisely represented games: circuit games, where the payoffs are computed by a given boolean circuit, and graph games, where each agent's payoff is a function of only the strategies played by its neighbors in a given graph. For these two models, we study the complexity of four questions: determining if a given strategy is a Nash equilibrium, finding a Nash equilibrium, determining if there exists a pure Nash equilibrium, and determining if there exists a Nash equilibrium in which the payoffs to a player meet some given guarantees. In many cases, we obtain tight results, showing that the problems are complete for various complexity classes. 1 Introduction In recent years, there has been a surge of interest at the interface between computer science and game theory. On one hand, game theory and its notions of equilibria provide a rich framework for modelling the behavior of selfish agents in the kinds of distributed or networked environments that often arise in computer science, and offer mechanisms to achieve efficient and desirable global outcomes in spite of the selfish behavior.

  • Towards Non-Black-Box Lower Bounds in Cryptography
    Towards Non-Black-Box Lower Bounds in Cryptography Rafael Pass?, Wei-Lung Dustin Tseng, and Muthuramakrishnan Venkitasubramaniam Cornell University, {rafael,wdtseng,vmuthu}@cs.cornell.edu Abstract. We consider average-case strengthenings of the traditional assumption that coNP is not contained in AM. Under these assumptions, we rule out generic and potentially non-black-box constructions of various cryptographic primitives (e.g., one-way permutations, collision-resistant hash-functions, constant-round statistically hiding commitments, and constant-round black-box zero-knowledge proofs for NP) from one-way functions, assuming the security reductions are black-box. 1 Introduction In the past four decades, many cryptographic tasks have been put under rigorous treatment in an eort to realize these tasks under minimal assumptions. In par- ticular, one-way functions are widely regarded as the most basic cryptographic primitive; their existence is implied by most other cryptographic tasks. Presently, one-way functions are known to imply schemes such as private-key encryp- tion [GM84,GGM86,HILL99], pseudo-random generators [HILL99], statistically- binding commitments [Nao91], statistically-hiding commitments [NOVY98,HR07] and zero-knowledge proofs [GMW91]. At the same time, some other tasks still have no known constructions based on one-way functions (e.g., key agreement schemes or collision-resistant hash functions). Following the seminal paper by Impagliazzo and Rudich [IR88], many works have addressed this phenomenon by demonstrating black-box separations, which rules out constructions of a cryptographic task using the underlying primitive as a black-box. For instance, Impagliazzo and Rudich rule out black-box con- structions of key-agreement protocols (and thus also trapdoor predicates) from one-way functions; Simon [Sim98] rules out black-box constructions of collision- resistant hash functions from one-way functions.

  • Lower Bounds on the Running Time of Two-Way Quantum Finite Automata and Sublogarithmic-Space Quantum Turing Machines
    Lower Bounds on the Running Time of Two-Way Quantum Finite Automata and Sublogarithmic-Space Quantum Turing Machines Zachary Remscrim Department of Computer Science, The University of Chicago, IL, USA [email protected] Abstract The two-way finite automaton with quantum and classical states (2QCFA), defined by Ambainis and Watrous, is a model of quantum computation whose quantum part is extremely limited; however, as they showed, 2QCFA are surprisingly powerful: a 2QCFA with only a single-qubit can recognize the ∗ O(n) language Lpal = {w ∈ {a, b} : w is a palindrome} with bounded error in expected time 2 . We prove that their result cannot be improved upon: a 2QCFA (of any size) cannot recognize o(n) Lpal with bounded error in expected time 2 . This is the first example of a language that can be recognized with bounded error by a 2QCFA in exponential time but not in subexponential time. Moreover, we prove that a quantum Turing machine (QTM) running in space o(log n) and expected n1−Ω(1) time 2 cannot recognize Lpal with bounded error; again, this is the first lower bound of its kind. Far more generally, we establish a lower bound on the running time of any 2QCFA or o(log n)-space QTM that recognizes any language L in terms of a natural “hardness measure” of L. This allows us to exhibit a large family of languages for which we have asymptotically matching lower and upper bounds on the running time of any such 2QCFA or QTM recognizer. 2012 ACM Subject Classification Theory of computation → Formal languages and automata theory; Theory of computation → Quantum computation theory Keywords and phrases Quantum computation, Lower bounds, Finite automata Digital Object Identifier 10.4230/LIPIcs.ITCS.2021.39 Related Version Full version of the paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.09877.

  • Circuit Lower Bounds for Merlin-Arthur Classes
    Electronic Colloquium on Computational Complexity, Report No. 5 (2007) Circuit Lower Bounds for Merlin-Arthur Classes Rahul Santhanam Simon Fraser University [email protected] January 16, 2007 Abstract We show that for each k > 0, MA/1 (MA with 1 bit of advice) doesn’t have circuits of size nk. This implies the first superlinear circuit lower bounds for the promise versions of the classes MA AM ZPPNP , and k . We extend our main result in several ways. For each k, we give an explicit language in (MA ∩ coMA)/1 which doesn’t have circuits of size nk. We also adapt our lower bound to the average-case setting, i.e., we show that MA/1 cannot be solved on more than 1/2+1/nk fraction of inputs of length n by circuits of size nk. Furthermore, we prove that MA does not have arithmetic circuits of size nk for any k. As a corollary to our main result, we obtain that derandomization of MA with O(1) advice implies the existence of pseudo-random generators computable using O(1) bits of advice. 1 Introduction Proving circuit lower bounds within uniform complexity classes is one of the most fundamental and challenging tasks in complexity theory. Apart from clarifying our understanding of the power of non-uniformity, circuit lower bounds have direct relevance to some longstanding open questions. Proving super-polynomial circuit lower bounds for NP would separate P from NP. The weaker result that for each k there is a language in NP which doesn’t have circuits of size nk would separate BPP from NEXP, thus answering an important question in the theory of derandomization.
