Title
Exponential Separation of Information and Communication
Abstract
We show an exponential gap between communication complexity and information complexity, by giving an explicit example for a communication task (relation), with information complexity ≤ O(k), and distributional communication complexity ≥ 2k. This shows that a communication protocol cannot always be compressed to its internal information. By a result of Braverman [1], our gap is the largest possible. By a result of Braverman and Rao [2], our example shows a gap between communication complexity and amortized communication complexity, implying that a tight direct sum result for distributional communication complexity cannot hold.
