New notions of security: achieving universal composability without trusted setup
We propose a modification to the framework of Universally Composable (UC) security [3]. Our new notion, involves comparing the protocol executions with an ideal execution involvin...

Lower bounds for local search by quantum arguments
The problem of finding a local minimum of a black-box function is central for understanding local search as well as quantum adiabatic algorithms. For functions on the Boolean hype...

Quantum and classical query complexities of local search are polynomially related
Let f be an integer valued function on a finite set V . We call an undirected graph G(V, E) a neighborhood structure for f. The problem of finding a local minimum for f can be phr...

Approximating the cut-norm via Grothendieck's inequality
The cut-norm ||A||C of a real matrix A = (aij)iR,jS is the maximum, over all I R, J S of the quantity | iI,jJ aij|. This concept plays a major role in the design of efficient app...

Expander flows, geometric embeddings and graph partitioning
We give a O( log n)-approximation algorithm for sparsest cut, edge expansion, balanced separator, and graph conductance problems. This improves the O(log n)-approximation of Leig...
