Motivated by results on interactive proof systems we investigate an 3-V-hierarchy over P using word quantifiers as well as two types of set quantifiers. This hierarchy, which extends the (arithmetic) polynomial-time hierarchy, is called the analytic polynomial-time hierarchy. It is shown that every
## Abstract It is shown that the feasibly constructive arithmetic theory IPV does not prove (double negation of) LMIN(NP), unless the polynomial hierarchy CPVβprovably collapses. It is proved that PV plus (double negation of) LMIN(NP) intuitionistically proves PIND(coNP). It is observed that PV + P
## Abstract We show that the bounded arithmetic theory V^0^ does not prove that the polynomial time hierarchy collapses to the linear time hierarchy (without parameters). The result follows from a lower bound for bounded depth circuits computing prefix parity, where the circuits are allowed some au
