We set out to study the impact of having access to correlated instances on the fine grained complexity of polynomial time problems, which have notoriously resisted improvement.
In particular, we show how to use a logarithmic number of auxiliary correlated instances to obtain $o(n^2)$ time algorithms for the longest common ... more >>>

We study the two-party communication complexity of finding an approximate Brouwer fixed point of a composition
of two Lipschitz functions $g\circ f : [0,1]^n \to [0,1]^n$, where Alice holds $f$ and Bob holds $g$. We prove an
exponential (in $n$) lower bound on the deterministic ... more >>>

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 >>>
