Lecture 23

Today we finished the proof of the IKW Theorem. We also showed fhe Kabanets-Impagliazzo Theorem: derandomizing Arithmetic Circuit Identity Testing implies NEXP not in P/poly or Permanent not in AlgP/poly or both.

We then moved on to the definition of expander graphs, the definition of strongly explicit graph families, and saw the Lubotsky-Phillips-Sarnak and Margulis-Gabber-Galil expander families.
