Orthogonal Vectors

The k-Orthogonal Vectors problem and its planted variants, central to fine-grained complexity and its cryptographic applications.

– Planted k-OV Hardness
Conjecture 10 of the source, and a newly proposed average-case assumption rather than a question the literature already asked. Its worst-case counterpart – that \(k\)-OV requires \(n^{k-o(1)}\) time – is a central conjecture of fine-grained complexity. The planting preserves the marginal distribution of any subset of fewer than \(k\) vectors, and the source gives a search-to-decision reduction. 5 open
