The Complexity of Approximating Bounded-Degree Boolean #CSP
The degree of a CSP instance is the maximum number of times that a variable may appear in the scope of constraints. We consider the approximate counting problem for Boolean CSPs wi...

PCPs and the Hardness of Generating Synthetic Data
Assuming the existence of one-way functions, we show that there is no polynomial-time, differentially private algorithm A that takes a database D ({0, 1}d )n and outputs a "...

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...

Fast SDP Algorithms for Constraint Satisfaction Problems
The class of constraint satisfactions problems (CSPs) captures many fundamental combinatorial optimization problems such as Max Cut, Max q-Cut, Unique Games, and Max k-Sat. Recent...

Optimal Sherali-Adams Gaps from Pairwise Independence
Abstract. This work considers the problem of approximating fixed predicate constraint satisfaction problems (MAX k-CSP(P)). We show that if the set of assignments accepted by P co...
