Abstract:

In the first part of the talk we discuss the notion of pseudorandomness in complexity theory and cryptography. We then discuss expander graphs and their connection to randomness extraction. The second part of the talk focuses on algebraic construction of expander graphs and its connection to generating sets and character sums.

 

Bio:
