We precisely determine the SDP value (equivalently, quantum value) of large random instances of certain kinds of constraint satisfaction problems, ``two-eigenvalue 2CSPs''. We show this SDP value coincides with the spectral relaxation value, possibly indicating a computational threshold. Our analysis extends the previously resolved cases of random regular $\mathsf{2XOR}$ and $\textsf{NAE-3SAT}$, and includes new cases such as random $\mathsf{Sort}_4$ (equivalently, $\mathsf{CHSH}$) and $\mathsf…

The SDP value of random 2CSPs

It is shown that the SDP optimum of a random n -variable instance is (when normalized by n ) in the range ( s ∗M − ϵ, s ∷M + ϵ ) with high probability.

A simple and sharper proof of the hypergraph Moore bound

The hypergraph Moore bound is an elegant statement that characterizes the extremal trade-off between the girth - the number of hyperedges in the smallest cycle or even cover (a subhypergraph with all…

X-Ramanujan Graphs

The existence of infinitely many k-quasi-X-Ramanujan graphs for a variety of infinite $X need not be a tree and all of its roots have magnitude at most $\rho(\mathsf{AddProd}(A_1, \dots, A_c))).

G is “eps-near fully X-Ramanujan”, a class of infinite graphs X that can arise in this way and the “eigenvalue relaxation value” for a wide class of average-case degree-2 constraint satisfaction problems is determined.

2 Review of Ramanujan and near-Ramanujan families

For every constant d > 3 and ǫ > 0, we give a deterministic poly(n)-time algorithm that outputs a d-regular graph on Θ(n) vertices that is ǫ-near-Ramanujan; i.e., its eigenvalues are bounded in…

Computational phase transitions in sparse planted problems?

This work investigates the predictions made by the cavity method for the algorithmic problems of detecting and recovering a planted signal in a general model of sparse random graphs and proposes rigorous algorithms based on the spectra of matrices that arise as the derivatives of the belief propagation update rule.

On statistical inference when fixed points of belief propagation are unstable

This work considers a general model of statistical inference problems that includes both community detection in stochastic block models, and all planted constraint satisfaction problems as special cases, and devise a spectral algorithm based on the spectra of a matrix that arises as the derivatives of the belief propagation update rule.

Ip-spread and restricted isometry properties of sparse random matrices

The spread properties of the kernels of sparse random matrices are studied, and it is proved that with high probability such subspaces contain vectors x that are o(1) · ||x||2-close to o(n)-sparse with respect to the ℓ2-norm, and in particular are not ™2-spread.

Explicit near-Ramanujan graphs of every degree

A deterministic poly(n)-time algorithm is given that outputs a d-regular graph on Θ(n) vertices that is є-near-Ramanujan; i.e., its eigenvalues are bounded in magnitude by 2√d−1 + ђ (excluding the single trivial eigenvalue of d).

𝓁p-Spread Properties of Sparse Matrices

Random subspaces of R= of dimension proportional to = are, with high probability, wellspread with respect to the l?-norm (for ? ∈ [1, 2]). Namely, every nonzero G ∈ is “robustly non-sparse” in the…

The threshold for SDP-refutation of random regular NAE-3SAT

It is shown that the latter situation prevails, at least in the context of random regular instances and SDP-based refutation, and the following sharp threshold result regarding efficient refutation is established: if $d 13.5$ then even the most basic spectral algorithm refutes satisfiability~(whp).

The Grothendieck Constant is Strictly Smaller than Krivine's Bound

The classical Grothendieck constant, denoted $K_G$, is equal to the integrality gap of the natural semi definite relaxation of the problem of computing$$\max \{\sum_{i=1}^m\sum_{j=1}^n a_{ij}…

Sum of squares lower bounds for refuting any CSP

This work shows that if P is δ-close to supporting a t-wise uniform distribution on satisfying assignments, then the degree-Θ(n/Δ2/(t - 1) logΔ) SOS algorithm cannot (δ+o(1))-refute a random instance of CSP(P).

Strongly refuting random CSPs below the spectral threshold

Random constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) are known to exhibit threshold phenomena: given a uniformly random instance of a CSP with n variables and m clauses, there is a value of m = Ω(n) beyond…

The Lovász Theta Function for Random Regular Graphs and Community Detection in the Hard Regime

We derive upper and lower bounds on the degree $d$ for which the Lov\'asz $\vartheta$ function, or equivalently sum-of-squares proofs with degree two, can refute the existence of a $k$-coloring in…

Hiding Cliques for Cryptographic Security

It is demonstrated how a well studied combinatorial optimization problem may be used as a new cryptographic primitive by “hiding” large cliques in random graphs by exploiting the conjecture that no polynomial-time algorithm exists which finds a clique of size.

Algorithms and resource requirements for fundamental problems

It is proved that the Boolean satisfiability problem and other hard problems require Ω(n2cos(π/7)- o(1)) ≥Ω( n1.801) time to solve by any algorithm that uses no(1) space, and more efficient methods for solving interesting classes of NP-hard problems exactly are established.

The backtracking survey propagation algorithm for solving random K-SAT problems

The backtracking survey propagation algorithm is introduced, which is shown to be able to find solutions very close to the SAT-UNSAT threshold, in a region unreachable by any other algorithm, supporting the conjecture that only unfrozen solutions can be found in linear time.

Lifts, Discrepancy and Nearly Optimal Spectral Gap*

It is shown that every graph of maximal degree d has a 2-lift such that all “new” eigenvalues are in the range, leading to a deterministic polynomial time algorithm for constructing arbitrarily large d-regular graphs, with second eigenvalue O(d/α)+1.

The study of the complexity of inverting this one-way function using combinatorial constructs such as expander graphs is proposed as an interesting open problem, with the hope that further research will provide evidence that the inversion task is intractable.
