On optimal heuristic randomized semidecision procedures, with applications to proof complexity and cryptography
The existence of a (p-)optimal propositional proof system is a major open question in (proof) complexity; many people conjecture that such systems do not exist. Kraj

Symmetric LDPC codes are not necessarily locally testable
Locally testable codes, i.e., codes where membership in the code is testable with a constant number of queries, have played a central role in complexity theory. It is well known t...

Improved bounds for the randomized decision tree complexity of recursive majority
We consider the randomized decision tree complexity of the recursive 3-majority function. For evaluating a height h formulae, we prove a lower bound for the -two-sided-error rando...

Space-Efficient Algorithms for Reachability in Surface-Embedded Graphs
We consider the reachability problem for a certain class of directed acyclic graphs embedded on surfaces. Let G(m, g) be the class of directed acyclic graphs with m = m(n) source ...

Testing monotonicity of distributions over general partial orders
We investigate the number of samples required for testing the monotonicity of a distribution with respect to an arbitrary underlying partially ordered set. Our first result is a n...

Efficient Semantic Communication via Compatible Beliefs
In previous works, Juba and Sudan [6] and Goldreich, Juba and Sudan [4] considered the idea of "semantic communication", wherein two players, a user and a server, attemp...

Logspace Versions of the Theorems of Bodlaender and Courcelle
Bodlaender’s Theorem states that for every k there is a linear-time algorithm that decides whether an input graph has tree width k and, if so, computes a width-k tree compositio...
