We prove thatAM(and hence Graph Nonisomorphism) is inNPif for some ε > 0, some language inNE∩coNErequires nondeterministic circuits of size 2εnThis improves results of Arvind and Köbler and of Klivans and van Melkebeek who proved the same conclusion, but under stronger hardness assumptions.The previous results on derandomizingAMwere based on pseudorandom generators. In contrast, our approach is based on a strengthening of Andreev, Clementi and Rolim’s hitting set approach to derandomization. As a spin-off, we show that this approach is strong enough to give an easy proof of the following implication: for some ε > 0, if there is a language inEwhich requires nondeterministic circuits of size 2εn, thenP = BPP. This differs from Impagliazzo and Wigderson’s theorem “only” by replacing deterministic circuits with nondeterministic ones.
