Complexity of Ring Morphism Problems
Abstract. We study the complexity of the isomorphism and automorphism problems for finite rings. We show that both integer factorization and graph isomorphism reduce to the problem...

Inductive Time-Space Lower Bounds for Sat and Related Problems
We improve upon indirect diagonalization arguments for lower bounds on explicit problems within the polynomial hierarchy. Our contributions are summarized as follows.

Languages to diagonalize against advice classes
Variants of Kannan's Theorem are given where the circuits of the original theorem are replaced by arbitrary recursively presentable classes of languages that use advice string...

The complexity of chromatic strength and chromatic edge strength
The sum of a coloring is the sum of the colors assigned to the vertices (assuming that the colors are positive integers). The sum (G) of graph G is the smallest sum that can be ach...

On the complexity of approximating k-set packing
Given a k-uniform hypergraph, the Maximum k-Set Packing problem is to find the maximum disjoint set of edges. We prove that this problem cannot be efficiently approximated to with...

A tight lower bound for restricted pir protocols
We show that any 1-round 2-server Private Information Retrieval Protocol where the answers are 1-bit long must ask questions that are at least n - 2 bits long, which is nearly equa...

Hardness Amplification via Space-Efficient Direct Products
We prove a version of the derandomized Direct Product lemma for deterministic space-bounded algorithms. Suppose a Boolean function g : {0, 1}n {0, 1} cannot be computed on more th...
