A central open question within meta-complexity is that of NP-hardness of problems such as MCSP and MK$^t$P. Despite a large body of work giving consequences of and barriers for NP-hardness of these problems under (restricted) deterministic reductions, very little is known in the setting of randomized reductions. In this work, ... more >>>
The dimension of partial derivatives (Nisan and Wigderson, 1997) is a popular measure for proving lower bounds in algebraic complexity. It is used to give strong lower bounds on the Waring decomposition of polynomials (called Waring rank). This naturally leads to an interesting open question: does this measure essentially characterize ... more >>>
Numerous works have studied the probability that a length $t-1$ random walk on an expander is confined to a given rectangle $S_1 \times \ldots \times S_t$, providing both upper and lower bounds for this probability.
However, when the densities of the sets $S_i$ may depend on the walk length (e.g., ...
