Newman’s theorem states that we can take any public-coin communication protocol and convert it into one that uses only private randomness with only a little increase in communication complexity. We consider a reversed scenario in the context of information complexity: can we take a protocol that uses private randomness and ... more >>>

We consider time-space tradeoffs for exactly computing frequency
moments and order statistics over sliding windows.
Given an input of length $2n-1$, the task is to output the function of
each window of length $n$, giving $n$ outputs in total.
Computations over sliding windows are related to direct sum problems

We use self-reduction methods to prove strong information lower bounds on two of the most studied functions in the communication complexity literature: Gap Hamming Distance (GHD) and Inner Product (IP). In our first result we affirm the conjecture that the information cost of GHD is linear even under the uniform ... more >>>
