Weak Cardinality Theorems for First-Order Logic

Kummer's cardinality theorem states that a language is recursive
if a Turing machine can exclude for any n words one of the
n + 1 possibilities for the number of words in the language. It
is known that this theorem does not hold for polynomial-time
computations, but there ... more >>>

Approximation Hardness and Satisfiability of Bounded Occurrence Instances of SAT

We study approximation hardness and satisfiability of bounded
occurrence uniform instances of SAT. Among other things, we prove
the inapproximability for SAT instances in which every clause has
exactly 3 literals and each variable occurs exactly 4 times,
and display an explicit ... more >>>

QMA=PP implies that PP contains PH

We consider possible equality QMA=PP and give an argument
against it. Namely, this equality implies that PP contains PH. The argument is based on the strong form of Toda's theorem and
the strengthening of the proof for inclusion $QMA\subseteq PP$ due to Kitaev and Watrous.
