چکیده

Most known constructions of probabilistically checkable proofs (PCPs) either blow up the proof size by a large polynomial or have a high (though constant) query complexity. For instance, the proof size could be decreased to almost linear (i.e., n ), but at the expense of a large query complexity (e.g., in excess of 10) (see Polishchuk and Spielman). On the other hand, the PCP constructions of Hastad achieve the optimal query complexity of 3, but at the expense of blowing up the proof size by a very large exponent. In this paper we give a transformation with slightly-super-cubic blowup in proof size, with a low query complexity. Specifically, the verifier probes the proof in 16 bits and rejects every proof of a false assertion with probability arbitrarily close to 1/2, while accepting corrects proofs of theorems with probability one. The proof is obtained by revisiting known constructions and improving numerous components therein.
