Distributed Interactive Proofs
summary
Shows that MAM protocol verifies graph symmetry in O(log n) bits per node by having the prover commit a permutation and a rooted spanning tree, then nodes locally hash their neighborhood-rows and sum hashes up the tree with a linear hash to check the permuted adjacency matrix; AM gets O(n log n) and there is an easy Ω(log n) AM lower bound. Adapts Goldwasser–Sipser set-size hashing (using almost pairwise-independent hashes computable up a tree) for graph non-isomorphism; protocols are explicit and succeed with small proofs, leaving some AM lower-bound questions open.
