Pseudorandomness and Combinatorial Constructions
Abstract. In combinatorics, the probabilistic method is a very powerful tool to prove the existence of combinatorial objects with interesting and useful properties. Explicit constr...

Dual weak pigeonhole principle, Boolean complexity, and derandomization
We study the extension (introduced as BT in [5]) of the theory S1 2 by instances of the dual (onto) weak pigeonhole principle for p-time functions, dWPHP(PV )x x2 . We propose a n...

Derandomizing homomorphism testing in general groups
The main result of this paper is a near-optimal derandomization of the affine homomorphism test of Blum, Luby and Rubinfeld (Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 1993). We sho...

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...

Derandomized Parallel Repetition of Structured PCPs
A PCP is a proof system for NP in which the proof can be checked by a probabilistic verifier. The verifier is only allowed to read a very small portion of the proof, and in return ...
