On Sparse Covers of Minor Free Graphs, Low Dimensional Metric Embeddings, and Other Applications

Authors: Arnold Filtser

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 332, 41st International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2025)

Abstract
Given a metric space (X,d_X), a (β,s,Δ)-sparse cover is a collection of clusters 𝒞 ⊆ P(X) with diameter at most Δ, such that for every point x ∈ X, the ball B_X(x,Δ/β) is fully contained in some cluster C ∈ 𝒞, and x belongs to at most s clusters in 𝒞. Our main contribution is to show that the shortest path metric of every K_r-minor free graphs admits (O(r),O(r²),Δ)-sparse cover, and for every ε > 0, (4+ε,O(1/ε)^r,Δ)-sparse cover (for arbitrary Δ > 0). We then use this sparse cover to show that every K_r-minor free graph embeds into 𝓁_∞^{Õ(1/ε)^{r+1}⋅log n} with distortion 3+ε (resp. into 𝓁_∞^{Õ(r²)⋅log n} with distortion O(r)). Further, among other applications, this sparse cover immediately implies an algorithm for the oblivious buy-at-bulk problem in fixed minor free graphs with the tight approximation factor O(log n) (previously nothing beyond general graphs was known).

Lower Bounds for Multiplication via Network Coding

Authors: Peyman Afshani, Casper Benjamin Freksen, Lior Kamma, and Kasper Green Larsen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 132, 46th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2019)

Abstract
Multiplication is one of the most fundamental computational problems, yet its true complexity remains elusive. The best known upper bound, very recently proved by Harvey and van der Hoeven (2019), shows that two n-bit numbers can be multiplied via a boolean circuit of size O(n lg n). In this work, we prove that if a central conjecture in the area of network coding is true, then any constant degree boolean circuit for multiplication must have size Omega(n lg n), thus almost completely settling the complexity of multiplication circuits. We additionally revisit classic conjectures in circuit complexity, due to Valiant, and show that the network coding conjecture also implies one of Valiant’s conjectures.
