....asymmetry is not present in the relativized proof. In order to rectify this problem we propose a model of computation that is more stringent than the usual relativization computation. This turns out to be equivalent to a generalization of the notion of advice strings proposed by Karp and Lipton [KL80]. Intuitively, any relativized result can be regarded as a comparison between complexity classes under a certain nonuniform setting provided by an (infinite) advice, namely an oracle. Here we generalize the advice string formulation of Karp and Lipton by allowing random access to the advice ....
....status of a collapse of PSPACE to P under random access to advice is particularly interesting in view of a result of Kozen [Ko78] If PSPACE P, then there exists a proof of this fact by diagonalization. 2 Random Access to Advice Strings Recall the definition of C poly by Karp and Lipton [KL80]. We generalize this notion by allowing the underlying machines to have random access to an advice string. Let us fix any length function # from N to N. A function s : n ## 0, is called an advice function of size #(n) Given any advice function s of size #(n) we say a language L is in the ....

....if the polynomial hierarchy is strict, then each of these statements is false. Parts 1) 2) 3) and 5) of this corollary are immediate from Theorems 2.3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4, and Propositions 2.5 and 2.6. Part 4) is an implication of part 3) using methods of Adleman [37] and Karp and Lipton [38]. Part 6) is proved from part 4) as follows. The decision version of circuit minimization has instances where is a circuit and , and the question is whether there is a circuit equivalent to with . This problem has a form: there exists a such that and, for all inputs , A standard argument ....

As will become clear shortly, the symbol serves as a synchronization symbol ; for example, the DIFs we construct have the property that, in any block codebook of symbol words, the (unique) occurrence of appears at the same ....

....every NP set has polynomial size circuits Kushilevitz and Mansour [KM91] have shown that depth O(logn) decision trees are exactly learnable with high probability using membership queries. then the polynomial hierarchy collapses to ZPP . This improves the previous result of Karp and Lipton [KL80] where Sigma 2 appears in place of ZPP . Let us comment on a particular technique used in this paper. For our results concerning learning with equivalence queries and an NP oracle, our approach builds on the investigation of the query complexity of learning by Kannan in [K93] Kannan shows ....

Theorem 23 [KL80] If every NP set has polynomial size circuits then the polynomial hierarchy collapses to Sigma 2 . It is clear that ZPP is contained in Sigma 2 but the other direction of containment is not known (and would be surprising) Watanabe has observed the following, and we ....

....of size O(n ) for some fixed k (page 41) The proof of the lemma proceeds as follows: If SAT (the problem of deciding the satisfiability of boolean formulae) does not have polynomial circuits, then the lemma is true. In the case of SAT having polynomial circuits, by Karp and Lipton s theorem [11], the polynomial hierarchy collapses to 2 . This implies that # 3 can be simulated in # O(1) 2 , and since it was already established that # 3 contains functions of superpolynomial circuit complexity for any superpolynomial f , the lemma follows. After proving the above lemma, ....

....problem seems to well solved. Bruck and Naor [6] present a code (not well known, but nevertheless easily presented) for which they show that the existence of small size maximum likelihood decoding circuits would imply the collapse of the polynomial hierarchy (using a result of Karp and Lipton s [14]) However the codes presented by Bruck and Naor do not have large distance. It still remains open if the maximum likelihood decoding problem is hard for any constant distance code. The Reed Solomon codes would have formed a good 15 candidate to show hardness of this problem, except that it is ....
