Hadamard Tensors and Lower Bounds on Multiparty Communication Complexity

Abstract

We develop a new method for estimating the discrepancy
of tensors associated with multiparty communication problems
in the ``Number on the Forehead'' model of Chandra, Furst and Lipton.
We define an analogue of the Hadamard property of matrices
for tensors in multiple dimensions and show that any $k$-party communication
problem represented by a Hadamard tensor must have $Omega(n/2^k)$
multiparty communication complexity.
We also exhibit constructions of Hadamard tensors,
giving $Omega(n/2^k)$ lower bounds
on multiparty communication complexity
for a new class of explicitly defined Boolean functions.
