Nearly Tight Low Stretch Spanning Trees
We prove that any graph G with n points has a distribution T over spanning trees such that for any edge (u, v) the expected stretch ET ∼T [dT (u, v)/dG(u, v)] is bounded by ˜O(...

How to Play Unique Games Using Embeddings
In this paper we present a new approximation algorithm for Unique Games. For a Unique Game with n vertices and k states (labels), if a (1 − ε) fraction of all constraints is sa...

Nonembeddability theorems via Fourier analysis
Various new nonembeddability results (mainly into L1) are proved via Fourier analysis. In particular, it is shown that the Edit Distance on {0, 1}d has L1 distortion (log d) 1 2 â...
