Abstract
We prove, under a computational complexity hypothesis, that it is consistent with the true universal theory of p-time algorithms that a specific p-time function extending bits to bits violates the dual weak pigeonhole principle: every string of length equals the value of the function for some of length . The function is the truth-table function assigning to a circuit the table of the function it computes and the hypothesis is that every language in P has circuits of a fixed polynomial size .
