Conditional hardness for satisfiable 3-CSPs
In this paper we study a fundamental open problem in the area of probabilistic checkable proofs: What is the smallest s such that NP naPCP1,s[O(log n), 3]? In the language of har...

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...
