Extracting Randomness from Samplable Distributions
Randomness extractors convert weak sources of randomness into an almost uniform distribution; the conversion uses a small amount of pure randomness. In algorithmic applications, t...

On the Hardness of Graph Isomorphism
We show that the graph isomorphism problem is hard under DLOGTIME uniform AC0 many-one reductions for the complexity classes NL, PL (probabilistic logarithmic space) for every loga...

Extracting Randomness via Repeated Condensing
Extractors (defined by Nisan and Zuckerman) are procedures that use a small number of truly random bits (called the seed) to extract many (almost) truly random bits from arbitrar...
