The Complexity of the Inertia and Some Closure Properties of GapL
The inertia of an n × n matrix A is defined as the triple (i+(A), i−(A), i0(A)), where i+(A), i−(A), and i0(A) are the number of eigenvalues of A, counting multiplicities, w...

Upper Bounds for Quantum Interactive Proofs with Competing Provers
Refereed games are interactive proof systems with two competing provers: one that tries to convince the verifier to accept and another that tries to convince the verifier to rej...

If NP Languages are Hard on the Worst-Case Then It is Easy to Find Their Hard Instances
We prove that if NP ⊆ BPP, i.e., if SAT is worst-case hard, then for every probabilistic polynomial-time algorithm trying to decide SAT, there exists some polynomially samplable ...

Hardness of Max 3SAT with No Mixed Clauses
We study the complexity of approximating Max NME3SAT, a variant of Max 3SAT when the instances are guaranteed to not have any mixed clauses, i.e., every clause has either all its ...

On the Hardness of Approximating Multicut and Sparsest-Cut
We show that the Multicut, Sparsest-Cut, and Min-2CNF≡ Deletion problems are NP-hard to approximate within every constant factor, assuming the Unique Games Conjecture of Khot [S...

On the Complexity of Succinct Zero-Sum Games
We study the complexity of solving succinct zero-sum games, i.e., the games whose payoff matrix M is given implicitly by a Boolean circuit C such that M(i, j) = C(i, j). We comple...

Tolerant Versus Intolerant Testing for Boolean Properties
A property tester with high probability accepts inputs satisfying a given property and rejects inputs that are far from satisfying it. A tolerant property tester, as defined by P...

On the Sensitivity of Cyclically-Invariant Boolean Functions
In this paper we construct a cyclically invariant Boolean function whose sensitivity is Θ(n1/3 ). This result answers two previously published questions. Tur´an (1984) asked if ...
