The papers in this volume were presented at the 56th Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing (STOC 2024), sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Algorithms and Computation Theory (SIGACT). The conference was held in Vancouver, Canada, June 24--28, 2024, with the papers being presented as live talks.
Sum-of-Squares Lower Bounds for Independent Set on Ultra-Sparse Random Graphs
We prove that for every D ∈ N, and large enough constant d ∈ N, with high probability over the choice of G ∼ G(n,d/n), the Erdos-Renyi random graph distribution, the canonical degree 2D Sum-of-Squares relaxation fails to certify that the largest ...
Semidefinite Programming and Linear Equations vs. Homomorphism Problems
We introduce a relaxation for homomorphism problems that combines semidefinite programming with linear Diophantine equations, and propose a framework for the analysis of its power based on the spectral theory of association schemes. We use this framework ...
How Random CSPs Fool Hierarchies
Relaxations for the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) include bounded width, linear program (LP), semidefinite program (SDP), affine integer program (AIP), and the combined LP+AIP of Brakensiek, Guruswami, Wrochna, and Živný (SICOMP 2020). Tightening ...
Swap Cosystolic Expansion
We introduce and study swap cosystolic expansion, a new expansion property of simplicial complexes. We prove lower bounds for swap coboundary expansion of spherical buildings and use them to lower bound swap cosystolic expansion of the LSV Ramanujan ...
Agreement Theorems for High Dimensional Expanders in the Low Acceptance Regime: The Role of Covers
Let X be a family of k-element subsets of [n] and let {fs:s→Σ : s∈ X} be an ensemble of local functions, each defined over a subset s⊂ [n]. Is there a global function G:[n]→Σ such that fs = G|s for all s∈ X ? An agreement test is a randomized property ...
Characterizing Direct Product Testing via Coboundary Expansion
A d-dimensional simplicial complex X is said to support a direct product tester if any locally consistent function defined on its k-faces (where k≪ d) necessarily come from a function over its vertices. More precisely, a direct product tester has a ...
