A rank lower bound for cutting planes proofs of Ramsey Theorem

Ramsey Theorem is a cornerstone of combinatorics and logic. In its
simplest formulation it says that there is a function $r$ such that
any simple graph with $r(k,s)$ vertices contains either a clique of
size $k$ or an independent set of size $s$. We study the complexity
of proving upper ... more >>>

Better pseudorandom generators from milder pseudorandom restrictions

We present an iterative approach to constructing pseudorandom generators, based on the repeated application of mild pseudorandom restrictions. We use this template to construct pseudorandom generators for combinatorial rectangles and read-once CNFs and a hitting set generator for width-3 branching programs, all of which achieve near optimal seed-length even in ... more >>>

Syntactic Isomorphism of CNF Boolean Formulas is Graph Isomorphism Complete

We investigate the complexity of the syntactic isomorphism problem of CNF Boolean Formulas (CSFI): given two CNF Boolean formulas $\varphi(a_{1},\ldots,a_{n})$ and $\varphi(b_{1},\ldots,b_{n})$ decide whether there exists a permutation of clauses, a permutation of literals and a bijection between their variables such that $\varphi(a_{1},\ldots,a_{n})$ and $\varphi(b_{1},\ldots,b_{n})$ become syntactically identical. We first ... more >>>
