Abstract
This paper considers a number of arithmetic theories and shows how the strength of these theories relates to certain open problems in complexity theory concerning the polynomial-time hierarchy. These results are proved quite generally and hold for a wide class of subrecursive hierarchies. They can be used to characterize certain properties of functions provable in these theories.
