High Sets for NP

Splitting NP-Complete Sets

We show that a set is m-autoreducible if and only if it is m-mitotic. This solves a long standing open question in a surprising way. As a consequence of this unconditional result and recent work by Glaßer et al., complete sets for all of the following complexity classes are m-mitotic: NP, coNP, ⊕P, PSPACE, and NEXP, as well as all levels of PH, MODPH, and the Boolean hierarchy over NP. In the c...

Relationships between NP-sets, Co-NP-sets, and P-sets relative to random oracles

In the present paper we prove that relative to random oracle A (with respect to the uniform measure) the following three assertions hold: (1) there is a pair of disjoint NP A-sets which are separable by no P A-set, (2) there is a pair of disjoint Co-NP A-sets which are separable by no P A-set and (3) there is an innnite Co-NP A-set having no innnite NP A-subset

The Lattice of Np Sets

We consider under the assumption PINP questions concerning the structure of the lattice of NP sets together with the sublattice P. We show that two questions which are slightly more complex than the known splitting properties of this lattice cannot be settled by arguments which relativize. The two questions which we consider are whether every infinite NP set contains an infinite P subset and wh...

NP - sets are Co - NP - immune Relative to a

We prove that the class NP has Co-NP-immune sets and the class Co-NP has NP-immune sets relative to a random oracle.
