Abstract

Answering a question of Abbasi-Zadeh, Bansal, Guruganesh, Nikolov, Schwartz and Singh (2018), we prove the existence of a slowed-down sticky Brownian motion whose induced rounding for MAXCUT attains the Goemans--Williamson approximation ratio. This is an especially simple particular case of the general rounding framework of Krivine diffusions that we investigate elsewhere.
