The weak pigeonhole principle for function classes in S^1_2

Logic in Computer Science 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

It is well known that S^1_2 cannot prove the injective weak pigeonhole principle for polynomial time functions unless RSA is insecure. In this note we investigate the provability of the surjective (dual) weak pigeonhole principle in S^1_2 for provably weaker function classes.
