The class TFNP, defined by Megiddo and Papadimitriou, consists of multivalued functions with values that are polynomially verifiable and guaranteed to exist. Do we have evidence ...
We introduce the natural class SP 2 containing those languages which may be expressed in terms of two symmetric quanti ers. This class lies between P 2 and P 2 P 2 and naturall...
It is a longstanding open problem to devise an oracle relative to which BQP does not lie in the Polynomial-Time Hierarchy (PH). We advance a natural conjecture about the capacity ...
A new algebraic technique for the construction of interactive proof systems is presented. Our technique is used to prove that every language in the polynomial-time hierarchy has an...

We show that some natural refinements of the Straubing and Brzozowski hierarchies correspond (via the so called leaf-languages) step by step to similar refinements of the polynom...
