#### Topology inside NC^1

We show that ACC^0 is precisely what can be computed with constant-width circuits of polynomial size and polylogarithmic genus. This extends a characterization given by Hansen, showing that planar constant-width circuits also characterize ACC^0. Thus polylogarithmic genus provides no additional computational power in this model.
We consider other generalizations of ... more >>>

#### Circuit Complexity of Bounded Planar Cutwidth Graph Matching

Recently, perfect matching in bounded planar cutwidth bipartite graphs
$BGGM$ was shown to be in ACC$^0$ by Hansen et al.. They also conjectured that
the problem is in AC$^0$.
In this paper, we disprove their conjecture by showing that the problem is
not in AC$^0[p^{\alpha}]$ for every prime $p$. ... more >>>

#### Torus polynomials: an algebraic approach to ACC lower bounds

Revisions: 2

We propose an algebraic approach to proving circuit lower bounds for ACC0 by defining and studying the notion of torus polynomials. We show how currently known polynomial-based approximation results for AC0 and ACC0 can be reformulated in this framework, implying that ACC0 can be approximated by low-degree torus polynomials. Furthermore, ... more >>>

#### Non-deterministic Quasi-Polynomial Time is Average-case Hard for ACC Circuits

Revisions: 1

Following the seminal work of [Williams, J. ACM 2014], in a recent breakthrough, [Murray and Williams, STOC 2018] proved that NQP (non-deterministic quasi-polynomial time) does not have polynomial-size ACC^0 circuits.

We strengthen the above lower bound to an average case one, by proving that for all constants c, ... more >>>

#### Strong Average-Case Circuit Lower Bounds from Non-trivial Derandomization

Revisions: 1

We prove that for all constants a, NQP = NTIME[n^{polylog(n)}] cannot be (1/2 + 2^{-log^a n})-approximated by 2^{log^a n}-size ACC^0 of THR circuits (ACC^0 circuits with a bottom layer of THR gates). Previously, it was even open whether E^NP can be (1/2+1/sqrt{n})-approximated by AC^0[2] circuits. As a straightforward application, ... more >>>

#### Almost-Everywhere Circuit Lower Bounds from Non-Trivial Derandomization

In certain complexity-theoretic settings, it is notoriously difficult to prove complexity separations which hold almost everywhere, i.e., for all but finitely many input lengths. For example, a classical open question is whether $\mathrm{NEXP} \subset \mathrm{i.o.-}\mathrm{NP}$; that is, it is open whether nondeterministic exponential time computations can be simulated on infinitely ... more >>>

#### New Lower Bounds and Derandomization for ACC, and a Derandomization-centric View on the Algorithmic Method

In this paper, we obtain several new results on lower bounds and derandomization for ACC^0 circuits (constant-depth circuits consisting of AND/OR/MOD_m gates for a fixed constant m, a frontier class in circuit complexity):

1. We prove that any polynomial-time Merlin-Arthur proof system with an ACC^0 verifier (denoted by ... more >>>
