A New Sampling Protocol and Applications to Basing Cryptographic Primitives on the Hardness of NP
We investigate the question of what languages can be decided efficiently with the help of a recursive collisionfinding oracle. Such an oracle can be used to break collisionresistan...

Trade-Off Lower Bounds for Stack Machines
—A space bounded Stack Machine is a regular Turing Machine with a read-only input tape, several space bounded read-write work tapes, and an unbounded stack. Stack Machines with a...

The Gaussian Surface Area and Noise Sensitivity of Degree-d Polynomial Threshold Functions
Abstract. We prove asymptotically optimal bounds on the Gaussian noise sensitivity of degree-d polynomial threshold functions. These bounds translate into optimal bounds on the Gau...

Derandomized Parallel Repetition of Structured PCPs
A PCP is a proof system for NP in which the proof can be checked by a probabilistic verifier. The verifier is only allowed to read a very small portion of the proof, and in return ...

Completely Inapproximable Monotone and Antimonotone Parameterized Problems
We prove that weighted monotone/antimonotone circuit satisfiability has no fixed-parameter tractable approximation algorithm with any approximation ratio function ρ, unless FPT...

On the Relative Strength of Pebbling and Resolution
The last decade has seen a revival of interest in pebble games in the context of proof complexity. Pebbling has proven to be a useful tool for studying resolution-based proof syst...

Derandomizing from Random Strings
—In this paper we show that BPP is truth-table reducible to the set of Kolmogorov random strings RK . It was previously known that PSPACE, and hence BPP is Turingreducible to RK ...

Derandomized Parallel Repetition Theorems for Free Games
—Raz’s parallel repetition theorem [21] together with improvements of Holenstein [12] shows that for any two-prover one-round game with value at most 1 − (for ≤ 1/2), the v...
