We investigate constructions of pseudorandom generators that fool polynomial tests of degree d in m variables over finite fields F. Our main construction gives a generator with se...

A low-distortion embedding between two metric spaces is a mapping which preserves the distances between each pair of points, up to a small factor called distortion. Low-distortion...
