Hidden Gold in Random Generation of SAT Satisfiable Instances
Evaluation of incomplete algorithms that solve SAT requires to generate hard satisfiable instances. For that purpose, the kSAT uniform random generation is not usable. The other g...

Uniform Distributed Synthesis
We provide a uniform solution to the problem of synthesizing a finite-state distributed system. An instance of the synthesis problem consists of a system architecture and a tempo...

Gowers uniformity, influence of variables, and PCPs
Gowers [Gow98, Gow01] introduced, for d 1, the notion of dimension-d uniformity Ud (f) of a function f : G C, where G is a finite abelian group. Roughly speaking, if a function ...

Extensional Uniformity for Boolean Circuits
Abstract. Imposing an extensional uniformity condition on a non-uniform circuit complexity class C means simply intersecting C with a uniform class L. By contrast, the usual intens...

Boosting and Hard-Core Sets
This paper connects two fundamental ideas from theoretical computer science: hard-core set construction, a type of hardness amplification from computational complexity, and boosti...
