 +==== abstract ==== 
 +We prove a time-space tradeoff lower bound of T = Omega(n log(n/S) log log(n/​S)) ​ for randomized oblivious branching programs to compute 1GAP, also known as the pointer jumping problem, a problem for which there is a simple deterministic time n and space O(log n) RAM (random access machine) algorithm. 
 +We give a similar time-space tradeoff of  T = Omega(n log(n/S) log log(n/​S)) ​ for 
 +Boolean randomized oblivious branching programs computing GIP-MAP, a variation of the generalized inner product problem that can be computed in time n and space O(\og^2 n) by a 
 +deterministic Boolean branching program. 
 + 
 +These are also the first lower bounds for randomized oblivious branching programs computing ​ explicit functions that apply for T=omega(n log n). They also show that any simulation of general branching programs by randomized oblivious ones requires either 
 +a superlogarithmic increase in time or an exponential increase in space.
