polynomial hierarchy is a hierarchy


The polynomial hierarchy is a hierarchy. Specifically:

ΣipΠipΔi+1pΣi+1pΠi+1p.

Proof

To see that ΣipΠipΔi+1p=𝒫Σip,observe that the machine which checks its input against its oracle and accepts or rejects when the oracle accepts or rejects (respectively) is easily in 𝒫, as is the machine which rejects or accepts when the oracle accepts or rejects (respectively). These easily emulate Σip and Πip respectively.

Since 𝒫𝒩𝒫, it is clear thatΔipΣip. Since 𝒫𝒞 isclosedunder complementation for anycomplexity classPlanetmathPlanetmath𝒞 (the associatedmachines are deterministicMathworldPlanetmath and always halt, so the complementary machine justreverses which states are accepting), ifL𝒫ΣipΣip then so is L¯,and therefore LΠip.

Unlike the arithmetical hierarchy, the polynomial hierarchy is not known to be proper. Indeed, if 𝒫=𝒩𝒫 then 𝒫=𝒫, so a proof that the hierarchy is proper would be quite significant.
