On the Inapproximability of Vertex Cover on k-Partite k-Uniform Hypergraphs
Computing a minimum vertex cover in graphs and hypergraphs is a well-studied optimizaton problem. While intractable in general, it is well known that on bipartite graphs, vertex c...

Low-end uniform hardness vs. randomness tradeoffs for AM
In 1998, Impagliazzo and Wigderson [IW98] proved a hardness vs. randomness tradeoff for BPP in the uniform setting, which was subsequently extended to give optimal tradeoffs for t...

On uniform amplification of hardness in NP
We continue the study of amplification of average-case complexity within NP, and we focus on the uniform case. We prove that if every problem in NP admits an efficient uniform alg...

The Hardness of 3 - Uniform Hypergraph Coloring
We prove that coloring a 3-uniform 2-colorable hypergraph with c colors is NP-hard for any constant c. The best known algorithm [20] colors such a graph using O(n1/5 ) colors. Our...

Limitations of Hardness vs. Randomness under Uniform Reductions
We consider (uniform) reductions from computing a function f to the task of distinguishing the output of some pseudorandom generator G from uniform. Impagliazzo and Wigderson [IW]...
