摘要
It is conjectured that co-NP-complete problems do not have interactive protocols. However, a proof of such a statement would imply several well-known unproven complexity conjectures such as P≠NP. This paper instead exhibits an oracle such that relative to this oracle there exists a language in co-NP that does not have an interactive protocol. From this it is shown that techniques that relativize will not settle the conjecture.
