Guest Column: New ways of studying the BPP = P conjecture
What's new in the world of derandomization? Questions about pseudorandomness and derandomization have been driving progress in complexity theory for many decades. In this survey we will describe new approaches to the BPP = P conjecture from recent years, as well as new questions, algorithmic approaches, and ways of thinking. For example: Do we really need pseudorandom generators for derandomization, or can we get away with weaker objects? Can we prove free lunch theorems, eliminating randomness with zero computational overhead? What hardness assumptions are necessary and sufficient for derandomization? And how do new advances in this area interact with progress in cryptography and in interactive proof systems?
