From query complexity to computational complexity
We consider submodular optimization problems, and provide a general way of translating oracle inapproximability results arising from the symmetry gap technique to computational co...

Towards Sharp Inapproximability For Any 2-CSP
We continue the recent line of work on the connection between semidefinite programming-based approximation algorithms and the Unique Games Conjecture. Given any boolean 2-CSP (or...

Agnostic Learning of Monomials by Halfspaces Is Hard
— We prove the following strong hardness result for learning: Given a distribution on labeled examples from the hypercube such that there exists a monomial (or conjunction) consi...

Approximability and parameterized complexity of minmax values
Abstract. We consider approximating the minmax value of a multiplayer game in strategic form. Tightening recent bounds by Borgs et al., we observe that approximating the value with...

Optimal Inapproximability Results for Max-Cut and Other 2-Variable CSPs?
In this paper we show a reduction from the Unique Games problem to the problem of approximating MAX-CUT to within a factor of GW + , for all > 0; here GW .878567 denotes the a...
