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...

Choosing the correct elliptic curve in the CM method
We give an elementary way to distinguish between the twists of an ordinary elliptic curve E over Fp in order to identify the one with p+1-2U points, when p = U2 + dV 2 with 2U, 2V ...

Approximation Algorithms via Structural Results for Apex-Minor-Free Graphs
We develop new structural results for apex-minor-free graphs and show their power by developing two new approximation algorithms. The first is an additive approximation for colorin...
