What does a proof that Co-NP =P entail for the NP versus Co-NP question












1














What I wonder is what exactly would it entail. Would it,for instance imply that P=NP or would there be different consequences,I haven't found any assorted consequences so far in my research.
Thank You,
Akash

          $text{P}=text{co-NP}$ implies that $text{co-P}=text{co-(co-NP)}=text{NP}$. But
          $text{co-P}=text{P}$: you can just swap the accept and reject states of a deterministic Turing machine to complement the language that it decides.

            $text{P}=text{co-NP}$ implies that $text{co-P}=text{co-(co-NP)}=text{NP}$. But
            $text{co-P}=text{P}$: you can just swap the accept and reject states of a deterministic Turing machine to complement the language that it decides.
