Circuit Lower Bounds for Nondeterministic Quasi-polytime from a New Easy Witness Lemma

© 2020 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. We prove that if every problem in N P has nk-size circuits for a fixed constant k, then for every N P -verifier and every yes-instance x of length n for that verifier, the verifier's search space has an nO(k3)-size witness circuit: A witnes...
