Fixed-Polynomial Size Circuit Bounds
—In 1982, Kannan showed that ΣP 2 does not have nk -sized circuits for any k. Do smaller classes also admit such circuit lower bounds? Despite several improvements of Kannan’s...

Domain Transmutation in Constraint Satisfaction Problems
We study local interchangeability of values in constraint networks based on a new approach where a single value in the domain of a variable can be treated as a combination of &quo...

Zero knowledge with efficient provers
We prove that every problem in NP that has a zero-knowledge proof also has a zero-knowledge proof where the prover can be implemented in probabilistic polynomial time given an NP ...
