We study some problems solvable in deterministic polynomial time given oracle access to the (promise version of) the Arthur-Merlin class.
Our main results are the following: (i) $BPP^{NP}_{||} \subseteq P^{prAM}_{||}$; (ii) $S_2^p \subseteq P^{prAM}$. In addition to providing new upperbounds for the classes $S_2^p$ and $BPP^{NP}_{||}$, these results are interesting ... more >>>

Korten and Pitassi (FOCS, 2024) defined a new complexity class $L_2P$ as the polynomial-time Turing closure of the Linear Ordering Principle. They put it between $MA$ (Merlin--Arthur protocols) and $S_2P$ (the second symmetric level of the polynomial hierarchy).

In this paper we sandwich $L_2P$ between $P^{prMA}$ and $P^{prSBP}$. (The oracles ... more >>>

We continue to investigate input-oblivious computations and build a map of known and new complexity classes. In particular,
* We prove a new upper bound for $OL_2^P$ defined by Hirsch and Volkovich (STACS, 2026), which is a natural input-oblivious version of the $L_2^P$ class of Korten and Pitassi (FOCS, 2024): ... more >>>
