The Power of Hierarchies for Detecting Hidden StructuresDiscrete Optimization via Continuous Relaxation2017-09-11
Proves that degree-D sum-of-squares power to distinguish planted vs. null instances reduces to a concrete spectral test: build a low-degree matrix polynomial…

Extended Formulations 1Bridging Continuous and Discrete Optimization Boot Camp 20172017-08-21
Quick tutorial that proves the core claims: extended formulations let some polytopes shrink from exponentially many inequalities to n×B network flow LP for…

Extended Formulations 2Bridging Continuous and Discrete Optimization Boot Camp 20172017-08-21
Shows a concrete lower bound for the correlation polytope by extracting a submatrix of its slack matrix with entries 1 for disjoint 0/1 vectors and 0 for pairs…

Extended Formulations 3Bridging Continuous and Discrete Optimization Boot Camp 20172017-08-21
Extension complexity equals non-negative rank of the slack matrix, and for the correlation polytope LP/SDP relaxations correspond to families or vector spaces…

Extended Formulations 4Bridging Continuous and Discrete Optimization Boot Camp 20172017-08-21
Shows how any bounded density F on {0,1}^n that tests indistinguishably against a family of functions D1 … Dm is approximated by a normalized exponential of a…

Sum of Squares SDP Relaxations on Random TensorsRandom Instances and Phase Transitions (Simons Institute, 2016)2016-05-02
Proves a concrete runtime vs. guarantee tradeoff: a degree-d Sum-of-Squares proof (computed in time n^{O(d)}) certifies strictly better upper bounds on the…

On Graph Spectra and Small Set ExpansionFunctional Inequalities in Discrete Spaces with Applications 20132013-09-30
Gives concrete algorithms and constructions: shows you can distinguish small‑set expansion up to a barrier of sqrt(ε log(1/δ)) and proves a higher‑order…
