....identify two blocks B i 1 and B i 2 that are extremely inconsistent: Proposition 6.7 There exist i 1 [h] such that, denoting # = E i 1 E i 2 , 1. 2. 3. Proof: Our proof begins by applying the following Sunflower Lemma over the sets E i : Theorem 6. 8 ( ER60] There exists some integer function # (k, d) not depending on R ) such that for any , if (k, d) there are d distinct sets F 1 , F d , such that, let # = F 1 . F d , the sets F i # are pairwise disjoint. The sets F 1 , F d are called a Sunflower, or a ....

....other live input is also one written to the same cell by a processor, or none are one written to the same cell. This is equivalent to finding a sunflower in a group of sets, where each set contains the cells one written to by processors which know a given live input. By the Erdos Rado Theorem [14], there must be a sunflower of size (m=k ) m =k. Let m = m =k. If we are on the Priority ERCW PRAM, we will designate the lowest numbered live input processor as marked. Note that the cells which are one written to by a processor for each live input are now only affected by the lowest ....

....i. We now need a collection of those sets with a special property. A sunflower is a collection of sets S 1 ; S 2 ; S p called petals, each of cardinality at most m, such that all pairs of sets in the collection have the same intersection, called the core of the sunflower. The Erdos Rado lemma [5] says that any collection of more than M = p Gamma 1) m m non empty sets, each of cardinality m or less will contain a sunflower with p petals. From this lemma it follows that our collection S 1 : S n contains a sunflower with p = n 1 2m petals, because (n 1 2m Gamma 1) m m is at ....

....l petals and core Y is a family of sets X 1 ; X l such that X i X j = Y for every i 6= j. Note that the assumption that X 1 ; X l form a sunflower with an odd core is stronger than the assumption that every two sets intersect in an odd set. A classical result of Erdos and Rad o [5] states that for a given k and l, every sufficiently large k hypergraph contain a sunflower with l petals. It has been observed in [8] that a k hypergraph, k odd, on an n element set of vertices with at least n (k Gamma1) 2 l (k 1) 2 1 Delta3 Delta Delta Deltak ....

Define f(r; k) to be the least integer so that any r uniform family of f(r; k) sets contains a Delta system consisting of k sets. Erdos and Rado [4] proved that (k Gamma 1) r f(r; k) r (k Gamma 1) r (1) and conjectured that for each k, there exists a constant C k so that f(r; k) C r k . Erdos (see [3] has offered 1000 dollar= s for the proof or disproof of this for k = 3. In this note we consider the case when r is fixed and ....

....proving a nonlinear lower bound on the size of series parallel circuits computing the transformation M . In the following sections we present some supporting evidence for and results on the conjecture. We have tested the conjecture for some small symmetric matrices, in the case of rank over GF [2]. For the sizes n 32 we have verified that every symmetric matrix with ones on the main diagonal and rank n=4 1 contains a triangle. There is a unique, up to isomorphisms, family of symmetric matrices of rank n=4 2 with ones on the main diagonal and without triangles. Such matrices do exist ....

....to isomorphisms, family of symmetric matrices of rank n=4 2 with ones on the main diagonal and without triangles. Such matrices do exist for every n, but we cannot prove that they are extremal. They will be described in Section 5. We shall also show a decomposition for symmetric matrices over GF [2] with at least one 1 on the main diagonal, which simplifies either the search for counterexamples or a possible proof (Section 2 4) Namely, every such matrix A can be represented as UU . This representation allows us to investigate the conjecture for GF [2] in a purely combinatorial way, ....

....all the clauses in this collection by their common pairwise intersection, thus obtaining another formula which has probability of being satisfied close to that of F . We then repeat this procedure until no large sunflowers can be found, obtaining a new formula F 0 . A theorem of Erdos Rado [6] implies that at the end of this procedure there are not too many clauses in F 0 . Because F 0 is so small, it turns out to be easier to approximate Pr[F 0 ] and because of the properties of the reduction this approximation is also a good approximation of Pr[F ] This reduction can be ....

....Lemma 2.2 Suppose CQ k (G) contains a clique of size k (l Gamma 1) k . Then in G there is a subset of at most kl vertices on which there are at least i l 2 j edges. 2 Proof. Let X be such a clique in CQ k (G) Think of X as a set system. By the well known theorem of Erdos and Rado [8], there exists a Delta system ( sunflower) with l petals (that is, l sets so that all intersections of a pair of them are identical) contained in X. Since the cliques in the sunflower are connected, there are i l 2 j edges on the vertices of the petals. 2 In what follows we use the norm ....

....types of arrangements of colored balls in bins. Finally we prove a lemma in this combinatorial setting which, by the previous reduction, implies a lower bound on the efficiency of UOWHFs relative to A. The proof of this lemma is based in turn on the well known sunflower lemma of Erdos and Rado ([ER60]) Oracle description. The oracle A will contain a permutation f on strings of length n, and accept queries of the form (x; C) where C is a circuit description. The circuit described may contain special f gates which denote a request to the oracle ( f query ) to compute f on the gate s ....
