Sherali-adams relaxations of the matching polytope
We study the Sherali-Adams lift-and-project hierarchy of linear programming relaxations of the matching polytope. Our main result is an asymptotically tight expression 1 + 1/k for...

The extended BG-simulation and the characterization of t-resiliency
A distributed task T on n processors is an input/output relation between a collection of processors' inputs and outputs. While all tasks are solvable if no processor may ever...

Differential privacy and robust statistics
We show by means of several examples that robust statistical estimators present an excellent starting point for differentially private estimators. Our algorithms use a new paradig...

Random graphs and the parity quantifier
The classical zero-one law for first-order logic on random graphs says that for every first-order property in the theory of graphs and every p (0, 1), the probability that the r...

A new approach to auctions and resilient mechanism design
We put forward a new approach to mechanism design, and exemplify it via a new mechanism guaranteeing significant revenue in unrestricted combinatorial auctions. Our mechanism ? su...
