ABSTRACT
If secure pseudorandom generators exist, then probabilistic computation does not uniformly speed up deterministic computation. If sets in P must contain infinitely many noncomplex strings, then nondeterministic computation does not uniformly speed up deterministic computation. Connections are drawn between pseudorandom generation, generalized Kolmogorov complexity, and immunity properties of complexity classes.

Paradigms for Unconditional Pseudorandom Generators
This is a survey of unconditional pseudorandom generators (PRGs). A PRG uses a short, truly random seed to generate a long, "pseudorandom" sequence of bits. To be more specific, for each restricted model of computation (e.g., bounded-depth circuits or ...
Extractors and pseudorandom generators
We introduce a new approach to constructing extractors. Extractors are algorithms that transform a “weakly random” distribution into an almost uniform distribution. Explicit constructions of extractors have a variety of important applications, and tend ...
Targeted pseudorandom generators, simulation advice generators, and derandomizing logspace
STOC 2017: Proceedings of the 49th Annual ACM SIGACT Symposium on Theory of ComputingAssume that for every derandomization result for logspace algorithms, there is a pseudorandom generator strong enough to nearly recover the derandomization by iterating over all seeds and taking a majority vote. We prove under a precise version of this ...
