Abstract

The Collision problem is to decide whether a given list of numbers (x_1,…,x_n) ∈ [n]ⁿ is 1-to-1 or 2-to-1 when promised one of them is the case. We show an n^Ω(1) randomised communication lower bound for the natural two-party version of Collision where Alice holds the first half of the bits of each x_i and Bob holds the second half. As an application, we also show a similar lower bound for a weak bit-pigeonhole search problem, which answers a question of Itsykson and Riazanov (CCC 2021).
