Decodability of Group Homomorphisms beyond the Johnson Bound

Given a pair of finite groups $G$ and $H$, the set of homomorphisms from $G$ to $H$ form an error-correcting code where codewords differ in at least $1/2$ the coordinates. We show that for every pair of {\em abelian} groups $G$ and $H$, the resulting code is (locally) list-decodable from ... more >>>

Entropy of operators or why matrix multiplication is hard for small depth circuits

Revisions: 1

In this note we consider unbounded fanin depth-2 circuits with arbitrary boolean functions as gates.

We define the entropy of an operator f:{0,1}^n --> {0,1}^m is as the logarithm of the maximum number of vectors distinguishable by at least one special subfunction of f. Then we prove that every ... more >>>

A Counterexample to Strong Parallel Repetition

The parallel repetition theorem states that for any two-prover game,
with value $1- \epsilon$ (for, say, $\epsilon \leq 1/2$), the value of
the game repeated in parallel $n$ times is at most
$(1- \epsilon^c)^{\Omega(n/s)}$, where $s$ is the answers' length
(of the original game) and $c$ is a universal ... more >>>
