We initiate the study of the space complexity of property testing. We focus on five properties of Boolean functions that have been intensively studied in the property testing literature: monotonicity, symmetry, linearity, being a junta, and being a linear threshold function.

On the upper bounds side, we show --- ... more >>>

We introduce a new family of propositional proof systems, denoted $\langle EF, R \rangle$, for an arbitrary TFNP search problem $R$. Informally, a refutation of a CNF formula $F$ in $\langle EF, R \rangle$ is given by a polynomial-time mapping reduction from the false-clause search problem ${\mathrm{Search}}_F$ to $R$, combined ... more >>>

In this work we observe a tight connection between three topics: $NC^0$ cryptography, $NC^0$ range avoidance, and static data structure lower bounds. Using this connection, we leverage techniques from the cryptanalysis of $NC^0$ PRGs to prove state-of-the-art results in the latter two subjects. Our main result is a quadratic improvement ... more >>>

We present a simple method based on a variant of Hölder's inequality to lower-bound the trace norm of Boolean matrices. As the main result, we obtain an exponential separation between the randomized decision tree depth and the spectral norm (i.e. the Fourier $L_1$-norm) of a Boolean function. This answers an ... more >>>
