Equality is Far Weaker Than Constant-Cost Communication

We exhibit an $n$-bit communication problem with a constant-cost randomized protocol but which requires $n^{\Omega(1)}$ deterministic (or even non-deterministic) queries to an Equality oracle. Therefore, even constant-cost randomized protocols cannot be efficiently "derandomized" using Equality oracles. This improves on several recent results and answers a question from the survey of ... more >>>
