We show that the value of a general two-prover quantum game cannot be computed by a semi-definite program ofvpolynomial size (unless P=NP), a method that has been successful in more restricted quantum games. More precisely, we show that…

This paper is about the recent notion of computably probably approximately correct learning, which lies between the statistical learning theory where there is no computational requirement on the learner and efficient PAC where the learner…

We study the complexity of computational problems arising from existence theorems in extremal combinatorics. For some of these problems, a solution is guaranteed to exist based on an iterated application of the Pigeonhole Principle. This…

It is shown that graph-theoretic problem CLIQUE can't be solved in polynomial time by any deterministic TM. This upgrades the well-known partial result that claims only monotone unsolvability thereof, and eventually implies P $\neq$ NP as…

In complexity theory, there exists a famous unsolved problem whether NP can be P or not. In this paper, we discuss this aspect in SAT (satisfiability) problem, and it is shown that the SAT can be solved in plynomial time by means of quantum…

The Chinese Remainder Theorem for the integers says that every system of congruence equations is solvable as long as the system satisfies an obvious necessary condition. This statement can be generalized in a natural way to arbitrary…

The Number Partitioning Problem (NPP) is one of the NP-complete computational problems. Its definite exact solution generally requires a check of all $N$ solution candidates, which is exponentially large. Here we describe a path to the fast…

We address two sets of long-standing open questions in probability theory, from a computational complexity perspective: divisibility of stochastic maps, and divisibility and decomposability of probability distributions. We prove that finite…

We describe a general method for verifying inequalities between real-valued expressions, especially the kinds of straightforward inferences that arise in interactive theorem proving. In contrast to approaches that aim to be complete with…

Our main results are in the following three sections: 1. We prove new relations between proof complexity conjectures that are discussed in \cite{pu18}. 2. We investigate the existence of p-optimal proof systems for $\mathsf{TAUT}$, assuming…

We construct a class of finitely presented groups where the isomorphism problem is solvable but the commensurability problem is unsolvable. Conversely, we construct a class of finitely presented groups within which the commensurability…

We study the relationship between problems solvable by quantum algorithms in polynomial time and those for which zero-knowledge proofs exist. In prior work, Aaronson [arxiv:quant-ph/0111102] showed an oracle separation between BQP and SZK,…

One of the fundamental results in computability is the existence of well-defined functions that cannot be computed. In this paper we study the effects of data representation on computability; we show that, while for each possible way of…

We survey a collective achievement of a group of researchers: the PCP Theorems. They give new definitions of the class \np, and imply that computing approximate solutions to many \np-hard problems is itself \np-hard. Techniques developed to…

A long standing open problem in the computational complexity theory is to separate NE from BPP, which is a subclass of $NP_T(NP\cap P/poly)$. In this paper, we show that $NE\not\subseteq NP_(NP \cap$ Nonexponentially-Dense-Class), where…

A set is autoreducible if it can be reduced to itself by a Turing machine that does not ask its own input to the oracle. We use autoreducibility to separate the polynomial-time hierarchy from polynomial space by showing that all…
