Popis: We characterize the streaming space complexity of every symmetric norm $l$ (a norm on $\mathbb{R}^n$ invariant under sign-flips and coordinate-permutations), by relating this space complexity to the measure-concentration characteristics of $l$. Specifically, we provide nearly matching upper and lower bounds on the space complexity of calculating a $(1\pm\epsilon)$-approximation to the norm of the stream, for every $02$. In addition, we apply our general results to easily derive bounds for several norms that were not studied before in the streaming model, including the top-$k$ norm and the $k$-support norm, which was recently employed for machine learning tasks. Overall, these results make progress on two outstanding problems in the area of sublinear algorithms (Problems 5 and 30 in~\url{http://sublinear.info}).
