This paper develops a new technique for proving amortized, randomized cell-probe lower bounds on dynamic
data structure problems. We introduce a new randomized nondeterministic four-party communication model
that enables "accelerated", error-preserving simulations of dynamic data structures.

We use this technique to prove an $\Omega(n\left(\log n/\log\log n\right)^2)$ cell-probe ... more >>>

Fine-grained reductions, introduced by Vassilevska-Williams and Williams, preserve any improvement in the known algorithms. These have been used very successfully in relating the exact complexities of a wide range of problems, from NP-complete problems like SAT to important quadratic time solvable problems within P such as Edit Distance. However, until ... more >>>

A typical obstacle one faces when constructing pseudorandom objects is undesired correlations between random variables. Identifying this obstacle and constructing certain types of "correlation breakers" was central for recent exciting advances in the construction of multi-source and non-malleable extractors. One instantiation of correlation breakers is correlation breakers with advice. These ... more >>>
