On the convergence of regret minimization dynamics in concave games
We study a general sub-class of concave games, which we call socially concave games. We show that if each player follows any no-external regret minimization procedure then the dyn...

On the geometry of graphs with a forbidden minor
We study the topological simplification of graphs via random embeddings, leading ultimately to a reduction of the Gupta-Newman-Rabinovich-Sinclair (GNRS) L1 embedding conjecture t...

An axiomatic approach to algebrization
Non-relativization of complexity issues can be interpreted as giving some evidence that these issues cannot be resolved by "black-box" techniques. In the early 1990'...

Random graphs and the parity quantifier
The classical zero-one law for first-order logic on random graphs says that for every first-order property in the theory of graphs and every p (0, 1), the probability that the r...

Bit-probe lower bounds for succinct data structures
We prove lower bounds on the redundancy necessary to represent a set S of objects using a number of bits close to the information-theoretic minimum log2 |S|, while answering vario...

Randomly supported independence and resistance
We prove that for any positive integer k, there is a constant ck such that a randomly selected set of cknk log n Boolean vectors with high probability supports a balanced k-wise i...

Message passing algorithms and improved LP decoding
Linear programming decoding for low-density parity check codes (and related domains such as compressed sensing) has received increased attention over recent years because of its p...

Near-perfect load balancing by randomized rounding
We consider and analyze a new algorithm for balancing indivisible loads on a distributed network with n processors. The aim is minimizing the discrepancy between the maximum and m...

Artin automorphisms, cyclotomic function fields, and folded list-decodable codes
Algebraic codes that achieve list decoding capacity were recently constructed by a careful "folding" of the Reed-Solomon code. The "low-degree" nature of this f...
