The core innovation is the concept of "approachable...
This $600,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the Unique Games Conjecture and related problems in the hardness of approximation. Funded under the NSF's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program from April 2022 through March 2025, the award supports two components. First, the grantee will collaborate with experts in geometric functional analysis and probability to analyze a reduction from an NP-hard problem to Boolean unique games. This builds on prior work analyzing a reduction from a similar problem. Second, the grantee will develop techniques to show that resolving the Boolean case implies resolving the full Unique Games Conjecture by strengthening hard Boolean unique games to admit strong parallel repetition. The University of Texas at Austin serves as the primary awardee, performing the research. The parent organization, the University of Texas System, will also support the work through its University of Texas System Office of External Battles. The award advances the NSF's mission of supporting investigator-initiated computing and information science research.
