In this work we study the effect of rounds of interaction on the common randomness generation (CRG) problem. In the CRG problem, two parties, Alice and Bob, receive samplesXiandYi, respectively, where (Xi, Yi) are drawn jointly from asource distribution μ. The two parties wish to agree on a common random key consisting of many bits of randomness, by exchanging messages that depend on each party's respective input and the previous messages. In this work we study theamortizedversion of the problem, i.e., the number of bits of communication needed per random bit output by Alice and Bob, in the limit as the number of bits generated tends to infinity. The amortized version of the CRG problem has been extensively studied in the information theory literature, though very little was known about the effect of interaction on this problem. Recently Bafna et al. (SODA 2019) considered thenon-amortizedversion of the problem (so here the goal of the interaction is to generate a fixed number of random bits): they gave a family of sourcesμr,nparameterized byr,nϵ ℕ, such that withr+ 2 rounds of communication one can generatenbits of common randomness with this source withO(rlogn) communication, whereas with roughlyr/2 rounds the communication complexity isΩ(n/poly logn). Note in particular that their source is designed with the target number of bits in mind and hence the result does not apply to the amortized setting.In this work we strengthen the work of Bafna et al. in two ways: First we show that the results extend to the classical amortized setting. We also reduce the gap between the round complexity in the upper and lower bounds to an additive constant. Specifically we show that for every pairr, nϵ ℕ the (amortized) communication complexity to generate Ω(n) bits of common randomness from the sourceμr,nusingr+ 2 rounds of communication isO(rlogn) whereas the amortized communication required to generate the same amount of randomness fromrrounds is . Our techniques exploit known connections between information complexity and CRG, and the main novelty is our ability to analyze the information complexity of protocols getting inputs from the sourceμr,n.
