Integrality gaps for Sherali-Adams relaxations
We prove strong lower bounds on integrality gaps of Sherali?Adams relaxations for MAX CUT, Vertex Cover, Sparsest Cut and other problems. Our constructions show gaps for Sherali?A...

Faster Generation of Random Spanning Trees
In this paper, we set forth a new algorithm for generating approximately uniformly random spanning trees in undirected graphs. We show how to sample from a distribution that is wi...
