Abstract:

We prove an exponential separation between zero-sided-error randomized and two-sided-error pseudodeterministic communication complexities of partial boolean functions. This qualitatively improves and simplifies the proof of the separation by Göös, Harms, Riazanov, Sofronova, Sokolov, and Yuan (STOC 2026), which had a two-sided-error randomized upper bound. Then, we generalize our technique to separate the communication complexity analogues of MA and NP^BPP.
