abstract

The Collision problem is to decide whether a given list of numbers $(x_1,\ldots,x_n)\in[n]^n$ is $1$-to-$1$ or $2$-to-$1$ when promised one of them is the case. We show an $n^{\Omega(1)}$ 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).

  1. Optimal Unambiguous DNFs and Alon-Saks-Seymour

    cs.CC 2026-08 accept novelty 8.0 of 10

    Optimal unambiguous DNFs yield χ(G)≥exp(Ω(log² bp(G))), matching the known upper bound and resolving the Alon-Saks-Seymour problem up to constants.

  2. Quantum Communication Lower Bounds for Search Problems via Matrix Discrepancy

    quant-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 7.5 of 10

    A matrix-discrepancy argument proves tight one-way quantum lower bounds for collision finding (Ω(N^{1/4})) and for streaming triangle finding (Ω(√Δ_V)) where Boolean-Hidden-Matching reductions fail.
