Summary
Unlike the well-known APSP equivalent class, few OV-hard problems are known to be equivalent to OV. In this paper,
we showed several natural problems are equivalent to O(log n) dimensional OV. Two most interesting problems are: approximate
bichromatic closest pair and O(log n) dimensional Maximum Inner Product. In order to get reductions from these problems to OV,
we make use of Sigma_2 communication protocols and Locality Sensitivity Hashing. Our results also apply to the data structure
setting, in which we show that Partial Match and Nearest Neighbor Search are equivalent in a certain sense.
Summary
We applied the classical result IP = PSPACE to obtain equivalence results for problems in P.

Summary
We showed (among many other things) finding the furthest pair among n points in 2^(log* n) dimensional Euclidian space
requires essentialy n^2 time under SETH. We also use the sqrt(n) BQP communication protocol for Set-Disjointness to establish
inapproximbility results for problems in P.

Summary
We constructed oracle separations between SZK and PP, PZK and SZK and NISZK and NIPZK, answering several open questions.
We also showed a communication complexity class separation between NISZK and UPP.
Summary
