Approximation Resistant Predicates From Pairwise Independence
We study the approximability of predicates on variables from a domain
, and give a new sufficient condition for such predicates to be
approximation resistant under the Unique Games Conjecture. Specifically, we
show that a predicate is approximation resistant if there exists a balanced
pairwise independent distribution over whose support is contained in
the set of satisfying assignments to
