A Hypergraph Dictatorship Test with Perfect Completeness

Combinatorics 2015-05-13 v3

Abstract

A hypergraph dictatorship test is first introduced by Samorodnitsky and Trevisan and serves as a key component in their unique games based \PCP\PCP construction. Such a test has oracle access to a collection of functions and determines whether all the functions are the same dictatorship, or all their low degree influences are o(1).o(1). Their test makes q3q\geq3 queries and has amortized query complexity 1+O(logqq)1+O(\frac{\log q}{q}) but has an inherent loss of perfect completeness. In this paper we give an adaptive hypergraph dictatorship test that achieves both perfect completeness and amortized query complexity 1+O(logqq)1+O(\frac{\log q}{q}).
