Abstract:

We show that the class ${\rm S}_2^p$ is a subclass of
${{\rm ZPP}^{\rm NP}}$. The proof uses universal hashing, approximate counting
and witness sampling. As a consequence, a collapse first noticed by
Samik Sengupta that the assumption NP has small circuits collapses
PH to ${\rm S}_2^p$
becomes the strongest version to date of the Karp-Lipton Theorem.
