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.
Assume indistinguishability obfuscation (iO) and one-way functions, both secure against nonuniform polynomial-size adversaries. We show that no randomized polynomial-size pruning procedure isolates a witness with probability at least a/log L, for any constant a > 0, where L is the length of the circuit description. Dell, Kabanets, van Melkebeek, and ... more >>>
Local LCL properties [Levi, Mosheiff, and Shagrithaya (LMS), FOCS 2025] give a language to express a broad range of linear properties of codes. Subspace design [Guruswami and Xing, 2013] is an elegant property about the linear structure of codes, and it governs important code behavior. In this note, we show ... more >>>
We prove that every finite two-player game $G$ with entangled value $\omega^*(G)=1-\epsilon$ satisfies
\[
\omega^*(G^{\otimes n})
\le\exp(-\Omega(\frac{\epsilon^3}{\epsilon+ \ell }n))
\]
for every $n\ge1$, where $\ell:=\log(|A| |B|)$, and $A$ and $B$ are the answer alphabets. Compared with Chapter 6 of the OpenAI report [Ope26], this improves the gap exponent from thirteen ...
