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., s...

Arithmetic Circuits: A Chasm at Depth Four
We show that proving exponential lower bounds on depth four arithmetic circuits imply exponential lower bounds for unrestricted depth arithmetic circuits. In other words, for expo...

Near-Optimal Conversion of Hardness into Pseudo-Randomness
Various efforts ([?, ?, ?]) have been made in recent years to derandomize probabilistic algorithms using the complexity theoretic assumption that there exists a problem in E = dti...

Pseudorandom Bits for Constant Depth Circuits with Few Arbitrary Symmetric Gates
We exhibit an explicitly computable ‘pseudorandom’ generator stretching l bits into m(l) = lΩ(log l) bits that look random to constant-depth circuits of size m(l) with log m...
