PRIMES

“very prime has a succinct certificate”

\begin{equation} \text{PRIMES} : \qty {A \mid A\text{ is prime}} \end{equation}

The certificate?

\begin{equation} A \text{ prime} \Leftrightarrow \exists 1 < b < A : B, B^{2}, \dots, B^{A*2} \not \cong \ \text{mod}\ A \end{equation}

So \(\text{PRIMES} \in \text{NP}\)


But actually PRIMES is in \(P\)
