Universal Algebra and Hardness Results for Constraint Satisfaction Problems
We present algebraic conditions on constraint languages Γ that ensure the hardness of the constraint satisfaction problem CSP(Γ) for complexity classes L, NL, P, NP and ModpL. Th...

Hard constraint satisfaction problems have hard gaps at location 1
An instance of the maximum constraint satisfaction problem (Max CSP) is a nite collection of constraints on a set of variables, and the goal is to assign values to the variables ...

On the Scope of the Universal-Algebraic Approach to Constraint Satisfaction
The universal-algebraic approach has proved a powerful tool in the study of the computational complexity of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). This approach has previously b...

Ruling Out Polynomial-Time Approximation Schemes for Hard Constraint Satisfaction Problems
The maximum constraint satisfaction problem (Max CSP) is the following computational problem: an instance is a finite collection of constraints on a set of variables, and the goal...

Recent Results on the Algebraic Approach to the CSP
Abstract. We describe an algebraic approach to the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) and present recent results on the CSP that make use of, in an essential way, this algebraic...
