Optimal Unambiguous DNFs Refute Alon-Saks-Seymour Conjecture

Researchers have developed unambiguous Disjunctive Normal Forms (DNFs) with a width of O(n) but a certificate complexity of Ω(n^2). This construction, utilizing the specific structure of these DNFs, proves a lifting theorem that translates certificate complexity separation into communication complexity separation. This work provides an optimal refutation of the Alon-Saks-Seymour conjecture and an improved communication lower bound for the Clique versus Independent Set problem, surpassing previous results by several doubly logarithmic factors.

    Optimal Unambiguous DNFs and Alon-Saks-Seymour

    We construct unambiguous DNFs having width $O(n)$ but $0$-certificate complexity $Ω(n^2)$. By utilizing the special structure of these DNFs, we prove a lifting theorem with a constant-sized gadget that lifts the DNF to a communication problem, while losslessly translating the sep…
