How to Play Unique Games on Expanders

In this note we improve a recent result by Arora, Khot, Kolla, Steurer, Tulsiani, and Vishnoi on solving the Unique Games problem on expanders.

Given a (1 - epsilon)-satisfiable instance of Unique Games with the constraint graph G, our algorithm finds an assignments satisfying at least a (1 - C ... more >>>

Hardness of Solving Sparse Overdetermined Linear Systems: A 3-Query PCP over Integers.

A classic result due to Hastad established that for every constant \eps > 0, given an overdetermined system of linear equations over a finite field \F_q where each equation depends on exactly 3 variables and at least a fraction (1-\eps) of the equations can be satisfied, it is NP-hard to ... more >>>

One-Way Functions and the Isomorphism Conjecture

We study the Isomorphism Conjecture proposed by Berman and Hartmanis.
It states that all sets complete for NP under polynomial-time many-one
reductions are P-isomorphic to each other. From previous research
it has been widely believed that all NP-complete sets are reducible
each other by one-to-one and length-increasing polynomial-time
reductions, but ... more >>>
