A note on hardness of promise hypergraph colouring

Discrete Mathematics 2025-01-24 v1

Abstract

We show a slightly simpler proof the following theorem by I. Dinur, O. Regev, and C. Smyth: for all c2c \geq 2, it is NP-hard to find a cc-colouring of a 2-coloruable 3-uniform hypergraph. We recast this result in the algebraic framework for Promise CSPs, using only a weaker version of the PCP theorem.
