          "alt": "Abstract. In the k-Orthogonal Vectors (k-OV) problem we are given k sets, each containing n binary vectors of dimension d = n^(o(1)), and our goal is to pick one vector from each set so that at each coordinate at least one vector has a zero. It is a central problem in fine-grained complexity, conjectured to require n^(k − o(1)) time in the worst case.\n\nWe propose a way to plant a solution among vectors with i.i.d. p-biased entries, for appropriately chosen p, so that the planted solution is the unique one. Our conjecture is that the resulting k-OV instances still require time n^(k − o(1)) to solve, on average.\n\nOur planted distribution has the property that any subset of strictly less than k vectors has the same marginal distribution as in the model distribution, consisting of i.i.d. p-biased random vectors. We use this property to give average-case search-to-decision reductions for k-OV.\n",
