Abstract
Developing explicit pseudorandom generators (PRGs) for prominent categories of Boolean functions is a key focus in computational complexity theory. In this paper, we investigate the PRGs against the functions of degree- polynomial threshold functions (PTFs) over Gaussian space. Our main result is an explicit construction of PRG with seed length that can fool any function of degree- PTFs with probability at least . More specifically, we show that the summation of independent -moment-matching Gaussian vectors -fools functions of degree- PTFs, where and . The PRG is then obtained by applying an appropriate discretization to Gaussian vectors with bounded independence.
