摘要
Resolving an issue open since Fenner, Fortnow, and Kurtz raised it in [S. Fenner, L. Fortnow, S. Kurtz, Gap-definable counting classes, J. Comput. System Sci. 48 (1) (1994) 116–148], we prove that LWPP is not uniformly gap-definable and that WPP is not uniformly gap-definable. We do so in the context of a broader investigation, via the polynomial degree bound technique, of the lowness, Turing hardness, and inclusion relationships of counting and other central complexity classes.
