Uniform Derandomization from Pathetic Lower Bounds
A recurring theme in the literature on derandomization is that probabilistic algorithms can be simulated quickly by deterministic algorithms, if one can obtain impressive (i.e., superpolynomial, or even nearly-exponential) circuit size lower bounds for certain problems. In contrast to what is needed for derandomization, existing lower bounds seem rather pathetic (linear-size lower bounds for general circuits [IM02], nearly cubic lower bounds for formula size [H
