The PCP theorem by gap amplification
The PCP theorem [3, 2] says that every language in NP has a witness format that can be checked probabilistically by reading only a constant number of bits from the proof. The cele...

The detectability lemma and quantum gap amplification
The quantum analog of a constraint satisfaction problem is a sum of local Hamiltonians - each (term of the) Hamiltonian specifies a local constraint whose violation contributes to...

Hardness Amplification via Space-Efficient Direct Products
We prove a version of the derandomized Direct Product lemma for deterministic space-bounded algorithms. Suppose a Boolean function g : {0, 1}n {0, 1} cannot be computed on more th...

New direct-product testers and 2-query PCPs
The "direct product code" of a function f gives its values on all k-tuples (f(x1), . . . , f(xk)). This basic construct underlies "hardness amplification" in c...

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 ...
