Abstract: Ever since Valiant and Vazirani [VV86] showed that there exists a random reduction from SAT to USAT, the complexity of USAT has been cited as "USAT is complete for D P under randomized reductions." However, the definition of the randomized reduction was never quite satisfying because the probability of a "correct" reduction can approach zero as the length of the formula increases. The discrepancy between the Valiant-Vazirani definition and the earlier Adleman-Manders [AM77] definition... (Update)
