We construct unambiguous DNFs having width $O(n)$ but $0$-certificate complexity $Ω(n^2)$. By utilizing the special structure of these DNFs, we prove a lifting theorem with a constant-sized gadget that lifts the DNF to a communication problem, while losslessly translating the separation in certificate complexity to a separation in communication complexity.

arXiv:2609. 02659v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The pairwise independent correlation gap is the ratio of the maximum expected value of a set function under arbitrary dependence to that under pairwise independence, measuring the loss from this independence restriction.
