[#R1408] Dated source and duplicate audit

View evidenceOpen source ↗

1Summary

The exact target, equivalent terminology, and 2025-2026 status evidence were checked on 2026-08-01. Strongest checked result: BPP has deterministic subexponential simulations under weaker hypotheses, and standard hardness assumptions imply BPP=P. Unresolved remainder: Unconditional polynomial-time derandomization remains open.

The audit ran on 2026-08-01 across the cited primary literature and problem collections, Crossref, arXiv, and stable publisher records, TheoremDB published, prospecting, packet, formal, and retired corpus. It checked the exact statement, its named or normalized variants, recent status evidence, and the controlled TheoremDB corpus.

Queries included: - BPP equals P open problem current derandomization - unconditional BPP P 2026

Supported evidence. Replay readiness: source only.

2Outcome

Replay package: source only

A verification source is cited. This record has no executable replay attached.

Verification source: doi.org ↗, R. Impagliazzo and A. Wigderson, P=BPP if E requires exponential circuits, STOC 1997. main theorem
