Abstract
We consider a minimal extension of the language of arithmetic, such that the bounded formulas provably total in a suitably-defined theory à la Buss (expressed in this new language) precisely capture polytime random functions. Then, we provide two new characterizations of the semantic class BPP obtained by internalizing the error-bound check within a logical system: the first relies on measure-sensitive quantifiers, while the second is based on standard first-order quantification. This leads us to introduce a family of effectively enumerable subclasses of BPP, called BPP_T and consisting of languages captured by those probabilistic Turing machines whose underlying error can be proved bounded in T. As a paradigmatic example of this approach, we establish that polynomial identity testing is in BPP_T, where T = IΔ₀+Exp is a well-studied theory based on bounded induction.
