Hardness of Sparse Sets and Minimal Circuit Size Problem

We develop a polynomial method on finite fields to amplify the hardness of spare sets in nondeterministic time complexity classes on a randomized streaming model. One of our results shows that if there exists a $2^{n^{o(1)}}$-sparse set in $NTIME(2^{n^{o(1)}})$ that does not have any randomized streaming algorithm with $n^{o(1)}$ updating time, and $n^{o(1)}$ space, then $NEXP\not=BPP$, where a $f(n)$-sparse set is a language that has at most $f(n)$ strings of length $n$. We also show that if MCSP is $ZPP$-hard under polynomial time truth-table reductions, then $EXP\not=ZPP$.
