Nonrelativizing Separations
We show that MAEXP, the exponential time version of the Merlin-Arthur class, does not have polynomial size circuits. This significantly improves the previous known result due to K...

An axiomatic approach to algebrization
Non-relativization of complexity issues can be interpreted as giving some evidence that these issues cannot be resolved by "black-box" techniques. In the early 1990'...

Black-Box Composition Does Not Imply Adaptive Security
In trying to provide formal evidence that composition has security increasing properties, we ask if the composition of non-adaptively secure permutation generators necessarily pro...

Algebrization: A New Barrier in Complexity Theory
Any proof of P = NP will have to overcome two barriers: relativization and natural proofs. Yet over the last decade, we have seen circuit lower bounds (for example, that PP does n...
