Consequences of the provability of NP ⊆ P/poly
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove the following results: (i) PV proves NP ⊆ P/poly iff PV proves coNP ⊆ NP/O(1). (ii) If PV proves NP ⊆ P/poly then PV proves that the Polynomial Hierarchy collapses to the Boolean Hierarchy. (iii) S2 proves NP ⊆ P/poly iff S 1 2 proves coNP ⊆ NP/O(log n). (iv) If S2 proves NP ⊆ P/poly then S 1 2 proves that the Polynomial Hierarchy collapses to P[log n]. (v) If S2 proves NP ⊆ P/poly then S2 proves that the Polynomial Hierarchy collapses to P.

Does Advice Help to Prove Propositional Tautologies?
One of the starting points of propositional proof complexity is the seminal paper by Cook and Reckhow [6], where they defined propositional proof systems as poly-time computable functions which have all propositional tautologies as their range. Motivated by provability consequences in bounded arithmetic, Cook and Kraj́ıček [5] have recently started the investigation of proof systems which are co...
متن کاملOn Gödel’s Theorems on Lengths of Proofs II: Lower Bounds for Recognizing k Symbol Provability
This paper discusses a claim made by Gödel in a letter to von Neumann which is closely related to the P versus NP problem. Gödel’s claim is that k -symbol provability in first-order logic can not be decided in o(k) time on a deterministic Turing machine. We prove Gödel’s claim and also prove a conjecture of S. Cook’s that this problem can not be decided in o(k/ log k) time by a nondeterministic...
متن کاملA note on the size of Craig Interpolants
Mundici considered the question of whether the interpolant of two propositional formulas of the form F → G can always have a short circuit description, and showed that if this is the case then every problem in NP ∩ co-NP would have polynomial size circuits. In this note we observe further consequences of the interpolant having short circuit descriptions, namely that UP ⊆ P/poly, and that every ...
متن کاملThe Concurrency Complexity for the Horn Fragment of Linear Logic
The provability problem for the Horn fragment of linear logic is NP-complete [4, 1]. In this work we investigate various definitions of concurrency proposed in [2] and establish the complexity of the provability problem and the problem of concurrency recognition. The notion of k-maximal concurrency is introduced which guarantees polynomial time provability. Theorems on hierarchy and on complexi...
متن کاملIntractability vs Worst
We use the assumption that all sets in NP or other levels of the polynomial time hierarchy have e cient average case algorithms to derive collapse consequences for MA AM and various subclasses of P poly As a further consequence we show for C fP PP PSPACEg that C is not tractable in the average case unless C P
