The SDP Value for Random Two-Eigenvalue CSPs

Authors: Sidhanth Mohanty, Ryan O'Donnell, and Pedro Paredes

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 154, 37th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2020)


Abstract
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 2XOR and NAE-3SAT, and includes new cases such as random Sort₄ (equivalently, CHSH) and Forrelation CSPs. Our techniques include new generalizations of the nonbacktracking operator, the Ihara-Bass Formula, and the Friedman/Bordenave proof of Alon’s Conjecture.

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

Authors: Jess Banks, Robert Kleinberg, and Cristopher Moore

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 81, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2017)


Abstract
We derive upper and lower bounds on the degree d for which the Lovasz theta function, or equivalently sum-of-squares proofs with degree two, can refute the existence of a k-coloring in random regular graphs G(n,d). We show that this type of refutation fails well above the k-colorability transition, and in particular everywhere below the Kesten-Stigum threshold. This is consistent with the conjecture that refuting k-colorability, or distinguishing G(n,d) from the planted coloring model, is hard in this region. Our results also apply to the disassortative case of the stochastic block model, adding evidence to the conjecture that there is a regime where community detection is computationally hard even though it is information-theoretically possible. Using orthogonal polynomials, we also provide explicit upper bounds on the theta function for regular graphs of a given girth, which may be of independent interest.
