On Approximate Majority and Probabilistic Time
We prove new results on the circuit complexity of Approximate Majority, which is the problem of computing Majority of a given bit string whose fraction of 1's is bounded away...

Efficient Arguments without Short PCPs
Current constructions of efficient argument systems combine a short (polynomial size) PCP with a cryptographic hashing technique. We suggest an alternative approach for this probl...

Low-Depth Witnesses are Easy to Find
Antunes, Fortnow, van Melkebeek and Vinodchandran captured the notion of non-random information by computational depth, the difference between the polynomialtime-bounded Kolmogoro...

On Derandomizing Probabilistic Sublinear-Time Algorithms
There exists a positive constant α < 1 such that for any function T(n) ≤ nα and for any problem L ∈ BPTIME(T(n)), there exists a deterministic algorithm running in poly(T...

Norms, XOR Lemmas, and Lower Bounds for GF(2) Polynomials and Multiparty Protocols
This paper presents a unified and simple treatment of basic questions concerning two computational models: multiparty communication complexity and GF(2) polynomials. The key is t...

Halfspace Matrices
A halfspace matrix is a Boolean matrix A with rows indexed by linear threshold functions f, columns indexed by inputs x ∈ {−1,1}n, and the entries given by Af,x = f(x). We dem...

A Linear Round Lower Bound for Lovasz-Schrijver SDP Relaxations of Vertex Cover
We study semidefinite programming relaxations of Vertex Cover arising from repeated applications of the LS+ “lift-and-project” method of Lovasz and Schrijver starting from th...

The Complexity of Polynomials and Their Coefficient Functions
We study the link between the complexity of a polynomial and that of its coefficient functions. Valiant’s theory is a good setting for this, and we start by generalizing one of V...
