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...

A note on exponential circuit lower bounds from derandomizing Arthur-Merlin games
We present an alternate proof of the recent result by Gutfreund and Kawachi that derandomizing Arthur-Merlin games into PNP implies linear-exponential circuit lower bounds for ENP...

Hardness Hypotheses, Derandomization, and Circuit Complexity
We consider hypotheses about nondeterministic computation that have been studied in different contexts and shown to have interesting consequences: • The measure hypothesis: NP d...

A note on circuit lower bounds from derandomization
We present an alternate proof of the result by Kabanets and Impagliazzo that derandomizing polynomial identity testing implies circuit lower bounds. Our proof is simpler, scales b...

Efficient Learning Algorithms Yield Circuit Lower Bounds
We describe a new approach for understanding the difficulty of designing efficient learning algorithms. We prove that the existence of an efficient learning algorithm for a circui...
