Randomness, pseudorandomness and models of arithmetic

Abstract

Pseudorandmness plays an important role in number theory, complexity theory and cryptography. Our aim is to use models of arithmetic to explain pseudorandomness by randomness. To this end we construct a set of models M\cal M, a common element ι\iota of these models and a probability distribution on M\cal M, such that for every pseudorandom sequence ss, the probability that s(ι)=1s(\iota)=1 holds true in a random model from M\cal M is equal to 1/2.
