P-Optimal Proof Systems for Each NP-Complete Set but no Complete Disjoint NP-Pairs Relative to an Oracle
Abstract
Pudl\'ak [Pud17] lists several major conjectures from the field of proof complexity and asks for oracles that separate corresponding relativized conjectures. Among these conjectures are: - : The class of all disjoint NP-pairs does not have many-one complete elements. - : NP does not contain many-one complete sets that have P-optimal proof systems. - : UP does not have many-one complete problems. - : does not have many-one complete problems. As one answer to this question, we construct an oracle relative to which , , , and hold, i.e., there is no relativizable proof for the implication . In particular, regarding the conjectures by Pudl\'ak this extends a result by Khaniki [Kha19].
