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 prove lower bounds for $k$-OV, $k$-XOR, and $k$-SUM in nonuniform AC$^0$, tracking how the circuit-size exponent scales with $k$ and using no running-time hypothesis. Our framework gives depth-zero projections from colored subgraph isomorphism to the three targets at dimension, row count, or bit width $O(k\log n)$, without increasing depth ... more >>>
Raz proposed a program to prove arithmetic circuit lower bounds through the explicit construction of elusive functions. These are polynomial maps from a low dimensional space to a high dimensional ambient space whose image is contained in no subvariety of low complexity. Here, complexity is prescribed in terms of the ... more >>>
In coding theory, list recoverability is a fundamental concept which robustly captures how ``spread-out'' codewords are in a code.
More formally, given a code $C \subseteq \Sigma^n$ and input lists $S_1, \hdots, S_n \subseteq \Sigma$ of size at most $\ell$, list recoverability requires that there are at most $L$ codewords ...
