Today's Theory Lunch talk:

Neng Huang (University of Chicago): Separating MAX 2-AND, MAX DI-CUT and MAX CUT

https://uchicago.zoom.us/j/91616319229?pwd=dDdXQnFXeGNubFRkZy9hTDQrcWlXdz09<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://uchicago.zoom.us/j/91616319229?pwd=dDdXQnFXeGNubFRkZy9hTDQrcWlXdz09__;!!BpyFHLRN4TMTrA!4seTbmqtYzNHM0Bc0uqvXj0_9doZDLYAQgVC_Vjj8I9LbNyjpOdjz-orni2g1D4-LJ12f1-8f7aN0TT-VTGlhectNCCNIi4ebvg$>

Description: In this talk, I'll discuss our recent work on MAX DI-CUT, the directed version of MAX CUT. We prove a new unique games hardness result for MAX DI-CUT, showing that it is strictly harder to approximate than MAX CUT if UGC is true, resolving a question raised by Feige and Goemans. We also obtain a new approximation algorithm for MAX DI-CUT, showing that it is strictly easier than MAX 2-AND, its natural generalization, again assuming UGC.

Based on joint work with Joshua Brakensiek, Aaron Potechin and Uri Zwick.
