Submissions claiming to resolve a grand challenge, such as the P vs. NP problem, may be rejected without further consideration.
Submissions containing an essential part that seems to be generated by AI tools and/or are written in a way that humans will find hard to understand, may be rejected regardless of their merits. ECCC is intended for communication among humans.
For more details see the Call for Papers.In the last few days, a Denial of Service attack was launched on universities in Israel, leading the administrators of the Israel Academic network to block access to it from the global internet. Consequently, websites such as ECCC have been accessible only from within the Israeli and European academic networks.
It seems that this blocking was just removed, and we hope it will not be put back in the future.
Needless to say, deciding on such blocking is not in our control, but we do apologize for this disruption of service.
We explore new directions in simulating complex computations with low space, building on the work of Williams [STOC'25] and Cook-Mertz [STOC'24, SICOMP'25]. We define and study a strengthened version of the parallel external memory model, in which there are $P$ processors each with private internal memory $M$, all of which ... more >>>
We show that random linear codes possess nearly optimal discrepancy-type properties in a broad range of settings. Our main results are two general discrepancy theorems: one controls all translates of a fixed test, and the other controls large families of Fourier-pseudorandom tests. Two motivating applications follow:
First, random linear codes ... more >>>
We prove that Parity requires $2^{n^{\Omega(1)}}$ size De Morgan circuits of constant depth using a new method which is completely “top-down” in the sense of [HJP95]. The proof relies crucially on the core ideas developed in a line of work [HJP95, PPZ99, MW19, GRSS24] which previously established top-down lower bounds ... more >>>
