Bounded Simultaneous Messages

Authors: Andrej Bogdanov, Krishnamoorthy Dinesh, Yuval Filmus, Yuval Ishai, Avi Kaplan, and Sruthi Sekar

Abstract
We consider the following question of bounded simultaneous messages (BSM) protocols: Can computationally unbounded Alice and Bob evaluate a function f(x,y) of their inputs by sending polynomial-size messages to a computationally bounded Carol? The special case where f is the mod-2 inner-product function and Carol is bounded to AC⁰ has been studied in previous works. The general question can be broadly motivated by applications in which distributed computation is more costly than local computation. In this work, we initiate a more systematic study of the BSM model, with different functions f and computational bounds on Carol. In particular, we give evidence against the existence of BSM protocols with polynomial-size Carol for naturally distributed variants of NP-complete languages.

RANDOM
Classical Simulation of One-Query Quantum Distinguishers

Authors: Andrej Bogdanov, Tsun Ming Cheung, Krishnamoorthy Dinesh, and John C. S. Lui

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 275, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2023)


Abstract
We study the relative advantage of classical and quantum distinguishers of bounded query complexity over n-bit strings, focusing on the case of a single quantum query. A construction of Aaronson and Ambainis (STOC 2015) yields a pair of distributions that is ε-distinguishable by a one-query quantum algorithm, but O(ε k/√n)-indistinguishable by any non-adaptive k-query classical algorithm. We show that every pair of distributions that is ε-distinguishable by a one-query quantum algorithm is distinguishable with k classical queries and (1) advantage min{Ω(ε√{k/n})), Ω(ε²k²/n)} non-adaptively (i.e., in one round), and (2) advantage Ω(ε²k/√{n log n}) in two rounds. As part of our analysis, we introduce a general method for converting unbiased estimators into distinguishers.

Bounded Indistinguishability for Simple Sources

Authors: Andrej Bogdanov, Krishnamoorthy Dinesh, Yuval Filmus, Yuval Ishai, Avi Kaplan, and Akshayaram Srinivasan

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 215, 13th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2022)


Abstract
A pair of sources X, Y over {0,1}ⁿ are k-indistinguishable if their projections to any k coordinates are identically distributed. Can some AC^0 function distinguish between two such sources when k is big, say k = n^{0.1}? Braverman’s theorem (Commun. ACM 2011) implies a negative answer when X is uniform, whereas Bogdanov et al. (Crypto 2016) observe that this is not the case in general. We initiate a systematic study of this question for natural classes of low-complexity sources, including ones that arise in cryptographic applications, obtaining positive results, negative results, and barriers. In particular: - There exist Ω(√n)-indistinguishable X, Y, samplable by degree-O(log n) polynomial maps (over F₂) and by poly(n)-size decision trees, that are Ω(1)-distinguishable by OR. - There exists a function f such that all f(d, ε)-indistinguishable X, Y that are samplable by degree-d polynomial maps are ε-indistinguishable by OR for all sufficiently large n. Moreover, f(1, ε) = ⌈log(1/ε)⌉ + 1 and f(2, ε) = O(log^{10}(1/ε)). - Extending (weaker versions of) the above negative results to AC^0 distinguishers would require settling a conjecture of Servedio and Viola (ECCC 2012). Concretely, if every pair of n^{0.9}-indistinguishable X, Y that are samplable by linear maps is ε-indistinguishable by AC^0 circuits, then the binary inner product function can have at most an ε-correlation with AC^0 ◦ ⊕ circuits. Finally, we motivate the question and our results by presenting applications of positive results to low-complexity secret sharing and applications of negative results to leakage-resilient cryptography.

Characterization and Lower Bounds for Branching Program Size Using Projective Dimension

Authors: Krishnamoorthy Dinesh, Sajin Koroth, and Jayalal Sarma

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 65, 36th IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2016)


Abstract
We study projective dimension, a graph parameter (denoted by pd(G) for a graph G), introduced by Pudlak and Rodl (1992). For a Boolean function f(on n bits), Pudlak and Rodl associated a bipartite graph G_f and showed that size of the optimal branching program computing f (denoted by bpsize(f)) is at least pd(G_f) (also denoted by pd(f)). Hence, proving lower bounds for pd(f) imply lower bounds for bpsize(f). Despite several attempts (Pudlak and Rodl (1992), Ronyai et.al, (2000)), proving super-linear lower bounds for projective dimension of explicit families of graphs has remained elusive. We observe that there exist a Boolean function f for which the gap between the pd(f) and bpsize(f) is 2^{Omega(n)}. Motivated by the argument in Pudlak and Rodl (1992), we define two variants of projective dimension - projective dimension with intersection dimension 1 (denoted by upd(f)) and {bitwise decomposable projective dimension} (denoted by bpdim(f)). We show the following results: (a) We observe that there exist a Boolean function f for which the gap between upd(f) and bpsize(f) is 2^{Omega(n)}. In contrast, we also show that the bitwise decomposable projective dimension characterizes size of the branching program up to a polynomial factor. That is, there exists a large constant c>0 and for any function f, bpdim(f)/6 <= bpsize(f) <= (bpdim(f))^c. (b) We introduce a new candidate function family f for showing super-polynomial lower bounds for bpdim(f). As our main result, we demonstrate gaps between pd(f) and the above two new measures for f: pd(f) = O(sqrt{n}), upd(f) = Omega(n), bpdim(f) = Omega({n^{1.5}}/{log(n)}). (c) Although not related to branching program lower bounds, we derive exponential lower bounds for two restricted variants of pd(f) and upd(f) respectively by observing that they are exactly equal to well-studied graph parameters - bipartite clique cover number and bipartite partition number respectively.
