Abstract

We construct an oracle relative to which P = NP ∩ coNP, but there are no many-one complete sets in UP, no many-one complete disjoint NP-pairs, and no many-one complete disjoint coNP-pairs.
This contributes to a research program initiated by Pudlák [P. Pudlák, 2017], which studies incompleteness in the finite domain and which mentions the construction of such oracles as open problem. The oracle shows that NP ∩ coNP is indispensable in the list of hypotheses studied by Pudlák. Hence one should consider stronger hypotheses, in order to find a universal one.
