Zero-knowledge against quantum attacks
It is proved that several interactive proof systems are zero-knowledge against general quantum attacks. This includes the Goldreich?Micali?Wigderson classical zero-knowledge proto...

Linear degree extractors and the inapproximability of max clique and chromatic number
: We derandomize results of H?astad (1999) and Feige and Kilian (1998) and show that for all > 0, approximating MAX CLIQUE and CHROMATIC NUMBER to within n1are NP-hard. We furt...

New upper and lower bounds for randomized and quantum local search
Local Search problem, which finds a local minimum of a black-box function on a given graph, is of both practical and theoretical importance to combinatorial optimization, complexi...

A combinatorial characterization of the testable graph properties: it's all about regularity
A common thread in all the recent results concerning the testing of dense graphs is the use of Szemer?edi's regularity lemma. In this paper we show that in some sense this is...

Gowers uniformity, influence of variables, and PCPs
Gowers [Gow98, Gow01] introduced, for d 1, the notion of dimension-d uniformity Ud (f) of a function f : G C, where G is a finite abelian group. Roughly speaking, if a function ...

Lattice problems and norm embeddings
We present reductions from lattice problems in the 2 norm to the corresponding problems in other norms such as 1, (and in fact in any other p norm where 1 p ). We consider latt...

Extractors for a constant number of polynomially small min-entropy independent sources
We consider the problem of randomness extraction from independent sources. We construct an extractor that can extract from a constant number of independent sources of length n, ea...
