An affine-invariant property over a finite field is a property of functions over F_p^n that is closed under all affine transformations of the domain. This class of properties includes such well-known beasts as low-degree polynomials, polynomials that nontrivially factor, and functions of low spectral norm. The last few years has ... more >>>

How can we trust results computed by a third party, or the integrity of data stored by such a party? This is a classic question in systems security, and it is particularly relevant in the context of cloud computing.

Various solutions have been proposed that make assumptions about the class ... more >>>

We study the query complexity of Weak Parity: the problem of computing the parity of an n-bit input string, where one only has to succeed on a 1/2+eps fraction of input strings, but must do so with high probability on those inputs where one does succeed. It is well-known that ... more >>>
