Title
Collapsing Exact Arithmetic Hierarchies.
Abstract
We provide a uniform framework for proving the collapse of the hierarchy NC1 (C) for an exact arithmetic class C of polynomial degree. These hierarchies collapse all the way down to the third level of the AC(0)-hierarchy, AC(3)(0)(C). Our main collapsing exhibits are the classes C is an element of {C=NC1,C=L, C(=)SAC(1), C=P}. NC1 (C=L) and NC1 (C=P) are already known to collapse [1,19,20]. We reiterate that our contribution is a framework that works for all these hierarchies. Our proof generalizes a proof from [9] where it is used to prove the collapse of the AC(0) (C (=) NC1) hierarchy. It is essentially based on a polynomial degree characterization of each of the base classes.
