Improved SDP Coloring of 3-Colorable Graphs from Recursive Gaussian Certificates

We give a randomized polynomial-time algorithm that, for every fixed $\varepsilon>0$, colors every $3$-colorable $n$-vertex graph using $O\bigl(n^{(13-\sqrt{97})/18+\varepsilon}\bigr) \approx O\bigl(n^{0.17506+\varepsilon}\bigr)$ colors, improving upon the previous best bound of $O(n^{0.19539})$ from Bansal, Huang, and...

Structural Corrections to the Bethe Approximation of the Permanent

We study deterministic approximation algorithms for the permanent of a nonnegative matrix through the Bethe permanent, an approximation computable in polynomial time. The tight analysis of Anari and Rezaei gives a universal comparison between the permanent and the Bethe permanent within a factor $(\sqrt 2)^n$. The simp...

The Hard-Core Model on Bipartite Spectral Expanders: Counting and Sampling at All Fugacities

The main idea is to introduce a family of quadratic tilts in the left-right occupation imbalance and show that each tilted measure can be sampled efficiently using Glauber dynamics, and obtain efficient approximate counting and sampling at every fugacity $\lambda>0$ whenever.
