Abstract

We prove that if the linear-time and polynomial-time hierarchies coincide, then every model of Π1(ℕ) + ¬Ω1 has a proper end-extension to a model of Π1(ℕ), and so Π1(ℕ) + ¬Ω ⊢ BΣ1. Under an even stronger complexity-theoretic assumption which nevertheless seems hard to disprove using present-day methods, Π1(ℕ) + ¬Exp ⊢ BΣ1. Both assumptions can be modified to versions which make it possible to replace Π1(ℕ) by IΔ0 as the base theory.

We also show that any proof that IΔ0 + ¬Exp does not prove a given finite fragment of BΣ1 has to be “nonrelativizing”, in the sense that it will not work in the presence of an arbitrary oracle.
