On Polynomial-Time Decidability of k-Negations Fragments of First-Order Theories

This paper presents a generic framework that guarantees polynomial-time decidability for fixed-negation fragments of first-order theories, demonstrating its effectiveness by proving that weak Presburger arithmetic and related restricted theories are efficiently decidable, in contrast to the NP-hardness of more restricted fragments of full Presburger arithmetic.

Conditional Complexity Hardness: Monotone Circuit Size, Matrix Rigidity, and Tensor Rank

This paper establishes that uniform nondeterministic lower bounds for fundamental problems like k-SAT and MAX-3-SAT imply the existence of combinatorial objects with high complexity, specifically yielding win-win circuit lower bounds for monotone functions and constructing families of matrices and tensors with high rigidity and rank.

The Complexity of Tullock Contests

This paper establishes that the computational complexity of finding a pure Nash Equilibrium in general Tullock contests with heterogeneous contestants is determined by the number of players with medium elasticity (r_i ∈ (1, 2]), proving the problem is polynomial-time solvable when this number is logarithmically bounded but NP-complete otherwise, while offering an FPTAS for the latter case.
