The hybrid argument allows one to relate the distinguishability of a distribution (from uniform) to the predictability of individual bits given a prefix. The argument incurs a los...

We present an alternate proof of the recent result by Gutfreund and Kawachi that derandomizing Arthur-Merlin games into PNP implies linear-exponential circuit lower bounds for ENP...

Efremenko showed locally-decodable codes of sub-exponential length that can handle close to 1 6 fraction of errors. In this paper we show that the same codes can be locally unique...
A k-query locally decodable code (LDC) C : n N encodes each message x into a codeword C(x) such that each symbol of x can be probabilistically recovered by querying only k coordina...

Trevisan [Tre03] suggested a transformation that allows amplifying the error rate a code can handle. We observe that this transformation, that was suggested in the non-local setti...
