Abstract:

We use the assumption that all sets in NP (or other levels
of the polynomial-time hierarchy) have efficient average-case
algorithms to derive collapse consequences for MA, AM, and various
subclasses of P/poly. As a further consequence we show for
C in {P(PP), PSPACE} that C is not tractable in the average-case
unless C is equal to P.
