Entangled vs. Separable Choice
We investigate joint probabilistic choice rules describing the behavior of two decision makers, each facing potentially distinct menus. These rules are separable when they can be decomposed into individual choices correlated solely through their respective probabilistic choice rules. Despite its significant interest for the study of peer effects, influence, and taste variation, a complete characterization of these rules has remained elusive (Chambers, Masatlioglu, and Turansick, 2021). We fully…

Relations between monotone complexity measures based on decision tree complexity
In a recent result, Knop, Lovett, McGuire and Yuan (STOC 2021) proved the log-rank conjecture for communication complexity, up to log n factor, for any Boolean function composed with AND function as the inner gadget. One of the main tools in this result was the relationship between monotone analogues of well-studied Boolean complexity measures like block sensitivity and certificate complexity. The relationship between the standard measures has been a long line of research, with a landmark resul…
