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 formalize the proof of Reingold's Theorem that SL=L (STOC'05) in the theory of bounded arithmetic VL, which corresponds to ``logspace reasoning''. As a consequence, we get that VL=VSL, where VSL is the theory of bounded arithmetic for ``symmetric-logspace reasoning''. This resolves in the affirmative an old open question from ... more >>>
Suppose we are given an infinite sequence of input cells, each initialized with a uniform random symbol from $[n]$. How hard is it to output a sequence in $[n]^n$ that is close to a uniform random permutation? Viola (SICOMP 2020) conjectured that if each output cell is computed by making ... more >>>
We construct a classical oracle proving that, in a relativized setting, the set of languages decidable by an efficient quantum verifier with a quantum witness (QMA) is strictly bigger than those decidable with access only to a classical witness (QCMA). The separating classical oracle we construct is for a decision ... more >>>
