The Parallel Repetition Conjecture for Trees is True

RSS-Feed

Abstract:


The parallel repetition conjecture (PRC) of Feige and Lovasz says that the
error probability of a two prover one round interactive protocol repeated $n$
times in parallel is exponentially small in $n$.
We show that the PRC is true in the case when
the bipartite graph of dependence between queries to provers is a tree.
Previously this was known only in the case of complete bipartite graphs
(i.e. when the queries to provers are independent).
We suggest also the combinatorial characterization of method
that was used to obtain most results towards the PRC and discuss some
related combinatorial problems.
