MIPRE.Foundations.Halting.Corollaries

The consequences of the halting reduction, conditionally on compression #

Blueprint chapter 7 after thm:main, and thm:halting-undecidable of chapter 3, each proved from a GapCompression (the hypothesis structure of thm:compression) and a universal machine:

Turing's theorem #

The halting problem is not decidable (blueprint thm:halting-undecidable): Mathlib's ComputablePred.halting_problem at the empty input.

The halting problem is r.e.

Uncomputability of the value #

A computable predicate separating the two sides of a promise problem decides every problem that reduces to it: the shape both halves of cor:value-uncomputable use.

Uncomputability of the synchronous value (blueprint cor:value-uncomputable), conditionally on compression: no computable f answers true on every description of synchronous value 1 and false on every description of synchronous value at most 1/2.

Uncomputability of the quantum value (blueprint cor:value-uncomputable, second clause), conditionally on compression.

RE ⊆ MIP*, hence MIP* = RE #

Every r.e. language many-one reduces to the halting problem: a computable map from strings to codes, halting on the empty input exactly on the members. Mathlib's Nat.Partrec.Code.curry fixes the string into the code.

RE ⊆ MIPClass ω, given a halting reduction of RE shape to the value: compose the many-one reduction of an r.e. language to the halting problem with the reduction.

coRE ⊆ MIPClass ω, given a halting reduction of coRE shape to the value: the complement of a co-r.e. language reduces to halting on the empty input, and the reduction sends halting machines to value at most 1/2 and the others to value 1.

MIPClass ω = RE, given a lower semidecider for the value and a halting reduction of RE shape: the two classes coincide, as predicates on languages.

MIPClass ω = coRE, given an upper semidecider for the value and a halting reduction of coRE shape.

RE ⊆ MIP*, conditionally on compression: the RE inclusion at the tensor-product model, with the halting reduction of cor:main-quantum.

MIP* = RE (blueprint thm:mipstar-eq-re), conditionally on compression: the two classes coincide, as predicates on languages.
