It was widely expected that these general results would extend to the remaining case-languages computed with nonadaptive queries-yet results remained elusive.

Thus there is a P/sub m-tt//sup A/ hierarchy that contains a finite gap.

We prove that ARROWING is actually /spl Pi//sub 2//sup P/-complete, simultaneously settling a conjecture of Burr and providing a natural example of a problem complete for a higher level of the polynomial hierarchy. We also consider several specific variants of ARROWING, where G and H are restricted to particular families of graphs. We have a general completeness result for this case under the assumption that certain graphs are constructible in polynomial time. Furthermore we show that STRONG ARROWING, the version of ARROWING for induced subgraphs, is /spl Pi//sub 2//sup P/-complete.","PeriodicalId":432015,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Pitassi","doi":"10.1145/301250.301399","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/301250.301399","url":null,"abstract":"Two important algebraic proof systems are the Nullstellensatz system and the polynomial calculus (also called the Grobner system). The Nullstellensatz system is a propositional proof system based on Hilbert's Nullstellensatz, and the polynomial calculus (PC) is a proof system which allows derivations of polynomials, over some field. The complexity of a proof in these systems is measured in terms of the degree of the polynomials used in the proof. The mod p counting principle can be formulated as a set MOD/sub p//sup n/ of constant-degree polynomials expressing the negation of the counting principle. The Tseitin mod p principles, TS/sub n/(p), are translations of the MOD/sub p//sup n/ into the Fourier basis. The present paper gives linear lower bounds on the degree of polynomial calculus refutations of MOD/sub p//sup n/ over p fields of characteristic q /spl ne/ p and over rings Z/sub q/ with q,p relatively prime. These are the first linear lower bounds for the polynomial calculus. As it is well-known to be easy to give constant degree polynomial calculus (and even Nullstellensatz) refutations of the MOD/sub p//sup n/ polynomials over F/sub p/, our results imply that the MOD/sub p//sup n/ polynomials have a linear gap between proof complexity for the polynomial calculus over F/sub p/ and over F/sub q/. We also obtain a linear gap for the polynomial calculus over rings Z/sub p/ and Z/sub q/ where p, q do not have identical prime factors.","PeriodicalId":432015,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Quantum simulations of classical random walks and undirected graph connectivity 经典随机漫步和无向图连通性的量子模拟

{"title":"Quantum simulations of classical random walks and undirected graph connectivity","authors":"John Watrous","doi":"10.1109/CCC.1999.766275","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/CCC.1999.766275","url":null,"abstract":"There are a number of questions in quantum complexity that have been resolved in the time-bounded setting, but remain open in the space-bounded setting. For example, it is not currently known if space-bounded probabilistic computations can be simulated by space-bounded quantum machines without allowing measurements during the computation, while it is known that an analogous statement holds in the time-bounded case. A more general question asks if measurements during a quantum computation can allow for more space-efficient solutions to certain problems. In this paper we show that space-bounded quantum Turing machines can efficiently simulate a limited class of random processes-random walks on undirected graphs-without relying on measurements during the computation. By means of such simulations, it is demonstrated that the undirected graph connectivity problem for regular graphs can be solved by one-sided error quantum Turing machines that run in logspace and require a single measurement at the end of their computations. It follows that symmetric logspace is contained in the quantum analogue of randomized logspace, i.e., SL/spl sube/QR/sub H/L.","PeriodicalId":432015,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

This result is a culmination of a series of works showing connections between the existence of hard predicates and the existence of good pseudorandom generators. The construction of Impagliazzo and Wigderson goes through three phases of \"hardness amplification\" (a multivariate polynomial encoding, a first derandomized XOR Lemma, and a second derandomized XOR Lemma) that are composed with the Nisan-Wigderson (1994) generator. In this paper we present two different approaches to proving the main result of Impagliazzo and Wigderson. In developing each approach, we introduce new techniques and prove new results that could be useful in future improvements and/or applications of hardness-randomness trade-offs.","PeriodicalId":432015,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.
