The rank function of a set of strings A is, on input x, the number of elements that are less or equal to x in lexicographic order. The paper analyzes the consequences of certain intractable complexity classes being P-rankable (meaning that the rank function is computable in polynomial time). Questions of this type are connected by logical implications or equivalences to other open problems in complexity theory.
