A Topology by Geometrization for Sub-Iterated Immediate Snapshot Message Adversaries and Applications to Set-Agreement

Abstract

The Iterated Immediate Snapshot model (IIS) is a central model in the message adversary setting. We consider general message adversaries whose executions are arbitrary subsets of the executions of the IIS message adversary. We present a complete and explicit characterization and lower bounds for solving set-agreement for general sub-IIS message adversaries.
In order to have this characterization, we introduce a new topological approach for such general adversaries, closely associating executions to geometric simplicial complexes. This way, it is possible to define and explicitly construct a topology directly on the considered sets of executions. We believe this topology by geometrization to be of independent interest and a good candidate to investigate distributed computability in general sub-IIS message adversaries, as this could provide both simpler and more powerful ways of using topology for distributed computability.
