3 Circuit lower bounds via restrictions
To show lower bound for function 𝑭 choose family/distribution on restrictions 𝑹 𝑭 and show that: For any small, shallow circuit π‘ͺ, Pr π†βˆΌ 𝑹 𝑭 π‘ͺ ​ 𝝆 is not π‘ π‘–π‘šπ‘π‘™π‘’ is small P r π†βˆΌ 𝑹 𝑭 𝑭 ​ 𝝆 is not π‘ π‘–π‘šπ‘π‘™π‘’ is large π‘ π‘–π‘šπ‘π‘™π‘’ = computed by small height decision tree Write 𝑫 𝑭 for the smallest height of any decision tree computing 𝐹.

𝑫 π‘ͺ ​ 𝝆 β‰€πŸπŸ” log 𝑺 Corollary: Depth d Parity circuits require 𝟐 𝒏 𝟏/𝒅 πŸπŸ” size.

Lemma (HΓ₯stad): Let 𝑭 be a 𝒓-DNF formula on 𝟎,𝟏 𝒏 . For β„“=𝒑𝒏 we have 𝐏𝐫 π†βˆΌ 𝑹 𝒏 β„“ 𝑫 𝑭 ​ 𝝆 β‰₯𝒔 ≀ πŸ–π’‘π’“ 𝒔 Note: If 𝑭′ has a decision tree 𝑻 of height 𝒉 then both 𝑭’ and 𝑭 β€² are expressible as 𝒉-DNF formulas Circuit lower bound follows by repeatedly setting 𝒓= log 𝑺 , 𝒑= 𝟏 πŸπŸ” log 𝑺 , and 𝒔=𝒓+𝟏.

7 HΓ₯stad’s Switching Lemma
Lemma (HΓ₯stad): Let 𝑭 be a 𝒓-DNF formula on 𝟎,𝟏 𝒏 . For β„“=𝒑𝒏 we have 𝐏𝐫 π†βˆΌ 𝑹 𝒏 β„“ 𝑫 𝑭 ​ 𝝆 β‰₯𝒔 ≀ πŸ–π’‘π’“ 𝒔 Proof idea (Razborov): Consider a canonical way of converting 𝑭 ​ 𝝆 to a decision tree. Use existence of a path of length β‰₯𝒔 in canonical decision tree for 𝑭 (plus knowledge of 𝑭) to find a more efficient description of ρ. Conclude that restrictions with this property are rare.

8 Applying a restriction to a DNF
For a DNF 𝑭 and restriction 𝝆, 𝑭 ​ 𝝆 is a DNF that contains a reduced form of each term of 𝑭 not falsifed 𝝆 by removing all literals set to 1, keeps the same order among all the terms that survive, and has no other terms.

9 Canonical decision tree for a DNF
Given an ordered set of variables 𝑽= 𝒙 𝟏 , 𝒙 𝟐 ,…, 𝒙 π’Œ the full tree on 𝑽 is: A full binary tree of height π’Œ that queries the π’Šth variable in 𝑽 at every node on the π’Šth level. with a branch for each total assignment 𝝅 to 𝑽. 𝒙 𝟏 𝒙 𝟐 𝒙 πŸ‘ 𝟎 𝟏

10 Canonical decision tree for a DNF
Let DNF 𝑭=π‘»βˆ¨π‘­β€² where 𝑻 is the first term of 𝑭. The canonical decision tree for 𝑭 consists of: the full tree 𝑫 𝑻 for Vars(𝑻) at the root. for the unique assignment 𝝈 to Vars(𝑻) that sets 𝑻 to 1, the branch of 𝑫 𝑻 labelled 𝝈 has leaf label 1 for every other assignment 𝝅 to Vars 𝑻 , the branch of 𝑫 𝑻 labelled 𝝅 has the canonical decision tree for 𝑭′ ​ 𝝅 at its leaf.

11 Switching Lemma Proof Suppose βˆƒ a path of length 𝒔 in canonical decision tree for 𝑭 ​ 𝝆 Pick leftmost such path 𝝅= 𝝅 𝟏 𝝅 𝟐 … 𝝅 𝒕 Say that 1st term of 𝑭 that survives in 𝑭 ​ 𝝆 is 𝑻 π’Š 𝟏 𝝅 𝟏 assigns to Vars( 𝑻 π’Š 𝟏 ​ 𝝆 ) 𝝈 𝟏 sets (𝑻 π’Š 𝟏 ​ 𝝆 ) ​ 𝝈 𝟏 =𝟏 Repeat for 𝒋=𝟐,…,𝒕 Canonical decision tree for 𝑭 ​ 𝝆 𝝅 𝟏 𝝅 𝟐 𝝅 πŸ‘ 𝝅 πŸ’ 𝝅 πŸ“ 𝝈 𝟏 𝝈 𝟐 𝝈 πŸ‘ 𝝈 πŸ’ 𝝈 πŸ“ 1

For 𝝆 βˆƒ partial bipartite matching 𝑴(𝝆) s.t.: 𝝆 sets 𝒙 π’Šπ’‹ to 1 for all π’Š,𝒋 βˆˆπ‘΄(𝝆) 𝝆 sets 𝒙 π’Šπ’‹ to 0 for all π’Š,𝒋 matched in 𝑴(𝝆) but not to each other 𝝆 leaves all other variables unset Define 𝝆 = 𝑴 𝝆 Vars 𝝆 ={ 𝒙 π’Šπ’‹ :π’Š,𝒋 both not matched in 𝑴(𝝆)} For matching restriction 𝝆, PH P 𝒏 ​ 𝝆 ≑PH P π’βˆ’ 𝝆

19 Matching decision trees
Each path or branch 𝝅 is a matching restriction. Each node queries a currently unmatched vertex on the left or right and asks which vertex it is matched to One child node for each possible match Queried vertex will always be matched Leaf labels 0 or 1 Unlike Boolean decision trees, not all assignments have branches consistent with them

21 Matching disjunctions
A π’Œ-matching disjunction is a monotone π’Œ-DNF each of whose terms is a (bipartite) matching For 𝑻 a matching decision tree Let B r 𝒃 𝑻 = set of branches of 𝑻 with leaf label 𝒃. Let 𝐷𝑁𝐹 𝑻 = π…βˆˆB r 𝟏 (𝑻) π’Š,𝒋 βˆˆπ‘΄(𝝅) 𝒙 π’Šπ’‹ If 𝑻 has height π’Œ then 𝐷𝑁𝐹(𝑻) is a π’Œ-matching disjunction Let 𝑻 𝒄 be the same decision tree as 𝑻 but with leaf labels 𝟎 and 𝟏 swapped. A matching decision tree 𝑻 represents a matching disjunction 𝑭 iff every branch 𝝅 in 𝑻 has 𝑭 ​ 𝝅 =𝒃 iff 𝝅 has leaf label 𝒃

22 Full matching decision trees
Suppose that 𝑫 and 𝑹 are ordered sets. For a subset π‘½βŠ‚π‘«βˆͺ𝑹, the full matching tree 𝑻 𝑽 for 𝑽 on 𝑫×𝑹 is given by the following: If 𝑽=βˆ… then 𝑻 𝑽 consists of a single root node. If π‘½βˆ©π‘«β‰ βˆ…, let π’Š be 1st node of 𝑫 in 𝑽; 𝑻 𝑽 has root with query π’Š? and edges for all possible π’‹βˆˆπ‘Ή; edge labelled π’Šπ’‹ leads to root of 𝑻 π‘½βˆ’ π’Š,𝒋 . Else π‘½βˆ©π‘Ήβ‰ βˆ… so let 𝒋 be 1st node of 𝑹 in 𝑽; then 𝑻 𝑽 has root with query ?𝒋 and edges for all possible π’Šβˆˆπ‘«; edge labelled π’Šπ’‹ leads to root of 𝑻 π‘½βˆ’ π’Š,𝒋 If 𝑴 is a matching, write 𝑻 𝑴 for full matching tree for set 𝑽 of nodes matched by 𝑴

Given a matching disjunction 𝑭=π‘»βˆ¨π‘­β€² where 𝑻= π’Š,𝒋 βˆˆπ‘΄ 𝒙 π’Šπ’‹ is the 1st term of 𝑭, the canonical matching decision tree for 𝑭 consists of: the full matching tree 𝑻 𝑴 for matching 𝑴 at the root for the matching restriction 𝝈 with 𝑴 𝝆 =𝑴, the branch of 𝑻 𝑴 labelled 𝝈 has leaf label 1 for every other matching restriction 𝝅 labelling a branch of 𝑻 𝑴 , the branch labelled 𝝅 has the canonical matching decision tree for 𝑭′ ​ 𝝅 at its leaf. Note: The canonical matching decision tree for 𝑭 represents 𝑭

26 Intuition for PH P 𝒏 lower bound
Assume wlog proof connectives are unbounded ∨,Β¬ Associate a height π’Œ matching decision tree 𝑻 𝑨 for each subformula 𝑨 appearing in the proof s.t.: 𝑻 𝟎 = 𝑻 𝟏 = 𝑻 𝒙 π’Šπ’‹ is the full matching tree on π’Š,𝒋 with leaf label 1 at level 1 (π’Šπ’‹) and leaf label 0 at level 2. 𝑻 ¬𝑨 = 𝑻 𝑨 𝒄 If 𝑨= β„“ 𝑨 β„“ and each 𝑨 β„“ does not have an ∨ at its root then represents β„“ 𝐷𝑁𝐹( 𝑻 𝑨 β„“ ) β€œπ’Œ-evaluation”.

35 Using Hastad’s Switching Lemma
Lemma (HΓ₯stad): Let 𝑭 be a 𝒓-DNF formula on 𝟎,𝟏 𝒏 .

37 What multiswitching produces
Multiswitching Lemma (HΓ₯stad 2014): Let 𝑭 𝟏 , 𝑭 𝟐 ,…, 𝑭 π’Œ be 𝒓-DNF formulas on 𝟎,𝟏 𝒏 . For β„“=𝒑𝒏, integer 𝒕, and 𝒔β‰₯ π₯𝐨𝐠 π’Œ we have 𝐏𝐫 π†βˆΌ 𝑹 𝒏 β„“ [ 𝑷(𝑭 𝟏 ​ 𝝆 , …, 𝑭 π’Œ ​ 𝝆 ,𝒕,𝒔)]β‰€π’Œ (πŸπŸ’π’‘π’“) 𝒕 .

38 Proof Multiswitching Lemma
The original proof used conditional probability using arbitrary downward-closed conditions and random restrictions with independent probabilities over the bits. We give a bit simpler proof using similar ideas to the proof of the basic lemma. Suppose that 𝑷(𝑭 𝟏 ​ 𝝆 , …, 𝑭 π’Œ ​ 𝝆 ,𝒕,𝒔) holds. We will give a specific construction for a decision tree 𝑻 and bound that probability that it fails to be a height-𝒕 𝒔-partial decision tree for 𝑭 𝟏 ​ 𝝆 , …, 𝑭 π’Œ ​ 𝝆 .

39 Multiswitching Lemma Proof
Given 𝝆,𝑭 𝟏 , …, 𝑭 π’Œ let 𝒋 𝟏 be the first index such that |𝑫 𝑻 𝑭 𝒋 𝟏 ​ 𝝆 |β‰₯𝒔 Let 𝝅 𝟏 be the lexicographically first path in the canonical decision tree for 𝑭 𝒋 𝟏 ​ 𝝆 of length 𝒔. Define 𝝈 𝟏 = 𝝈 𝟏 𝟏 … 𝝈 𝒖 𝟏 as before, except make sure that 𝝈 𝒖 𝟏 reaches the 1-leaf. Then 𝒔 β€² = 𝝈 𝟏 β‰₯𝒔 and 𝒔 β€² <𝒔+𝒓. 𝝅 𝟏 is enough to determine 𝝈 𝟏 . Begin building tree 𝑻 by with complete tree of height 𝒔′ on the variables set by 𝝈 𝟏 For every path 𝝉 𝟏 path of length 𝒔’ in 𝑻 continue as follows:

Given 𝝆, 𝝉 𝟏 ,𝑭 𝟏 , …, 𝑭 π’Œ let 𝒋 𝟐 be the first index such that |𝑫 𝑻 𝑭 𝒋 𝟐 ​ 𝝆 𝝉 𝟏 |β‰₯𝒔 We have 𝒋 𝟐 β‰₯ 𝒋 𝟏 Let 𝝅 𝟐 be the lexicographically first path in the canonical decision tree for 𝑭 𝒋 𝟐 ​ 𝝆 𝝉 𝟏 of length 𝒔. Define 𝝈 𝟐 = 𝝈 𝟏 𝟐 … 𝝈 𝒖 β€² 𝟐 as before, except make sure that 𝝈 𝒖 β€² 𝟐 reaches the 1-leaf. Then 𝒔 β€²β€² = 𝝈 𝟐 β‰₯𝒔 and 𝒔 β€²β€² <𝒔+𝒓. 𝝅 𝟐 is enough to determine 𝝈 𝟐 . Continue tree 𝑻 at leaf 𝝉 𝟏 with complete tree of height 𝒔′′ on the variables set by 𝝈 𝟐 For every path 𝝉 𝟏 𝝉 𝟐 in 𝑻 continue and repeat until no more indices.

41 Multiswitching Lemma Proof
Failure occurs iff there is a path of length β‰₯𝒕 in 𝑻 Let 𝝉 be lex first such path Let 𝝈 𝟏 ,…, 𝝈 𝒗 correspond to 𝝉 𝟏 ,…, 𝝉 𝒗 . Define 𝝆 β€² =𝝆 𝝈 𝟏 … 𝝈 𝒗 ∈ 𝑹 𝒏 β„“βˆ’π’• As before we include info to decode 𝝆 from 𝝆′: 𝒋 𝟏 ,…, 𝒋 𝒗 𝒔 vars within terms of 𝑭 𝒋 π’Š set by 𝝅 π’Š for each π’Šβˆˆ[𝒗] Bit vector of values set by 𝝅 𝟏 … 𝝅 𝒗 Bit vector of values set by 𝝉 𝟏 … 𝝉 𝒗 𝝈 𝟏 𝝉 𝟏 𝝈 𝟐 𝝉 𝟐 𝝉 πŸ‘ 𝝈 πŸ‘ 𝝉 πŸ’ 𝝈 πŸ’ 𝝉 πŸ“ 𝝈 πŸ“ Tree 𝑻

42 Multiswitching Lemma Proof
Define 𝝆 β€² =𝝆 𝝈 𝟏 … 𝝈 𝒗 ∈ 𝑹 𝒏 β„“βˆ’π’• . Info to decode 𝝆 from 𝝆′: 𝒋 𝟏 ,…, 𝒋 𝒗 ∈[π’Œ] 𝒔 vars within terms of 𝑭 𝒋 π’Š set by 𝝅 π’Š for each π’Šβˆˆ[𝒗] Bit vector of values set by 𝝅 𝟏 … 𝝅 𝒗 Bit vector of values set by 𝝉 𝟏 … 𝝉 𝒗 Claim: this is enough to decode given 𝑭 𝟏 ,…, 𝑭 π’Œ ,𝒔,𝒕: Look at first term 𝑻 π’Š 𝟏 set to 1 in 𝑭 𝒋 𝟏 ​ 𝝆 β€² (previous terms will be set to 0). This yields 𝝈 𝟏 𝟏 . Use the information from 2 to determine which vars of 𝑻 π’Š 𝟏 are unset by 𝝆 and hence set by 𝝅 𝟏 𝟏 . Use 3 to determine 𝝅 𝟏 𝟏 . Continue as in the ordinary switching lemma decoding by replacing 𝝈 𝟏 𝟏 by 𝝅 𝟏 𝟏 in 𝝆 β€² to get 𝝆 β€²β€² . Then look at 1st term 𝑻 π’Š 𝟐 set to 1 in 𝑭 𝒋 𝟏 ​ 𝝆 β€²β€² etc. Continue replacing until get all of 𝝈 𝟏 . Now go back and replace 𝝈 𝟏 by 𝝉 𝟏 in 𝝆′ to get 𝝆 𝝉 𝟏 𝝈 𝟐 … 𝝈 𝒗 , using 4.
