Abstract: We study the polynomial time counting hierarchy, a hierarchy of complexity classes related to the notion of counting. We investigate some of their structural properties, settling many open questions dealing with oracle characterizations, closure under boolean operations, and relations with other complexity classes. We develop a new combinatorial technique to obtain relativized separations for some of the studied classes, which imply absolute separations for some logarithmic time bounded... (Update)

.... and the oracle hierarchy built using PP as elementary class, defined by Wagner [24, 25] in 1986, has been called the counting hierarchy [20, 21]. Since then, a lot of other classes which also have some counting process inherent in their definition, appeared; for an overview see...
