We show a linear-size reduction from gap Max-2-Lin(2) (a generalization of the gap $\mathrm{Max}$-$\mathrm{Cut}$ problem) to $\gamma\text{-}\mathrm{CVP}_p$ for $\gamma = \mathrm{O}(1)$ and finite $p\geq 1$, as well as a no-go theorem…

Improving on the Voronoi cell based techniques of Micciancio and Voulgaris (SIAM J. Comp. 13), and Sommer, Feder and Shalvi (SIAM J. Disc. Math. 09), we give a Las Vegas $\tilde{O}(2^n)$ expected time and space algorithm for CVPP (the…

The assumed hardness of the Shortest Vector Problem in high-dimensional lattices is one of the cornerstones of post-quantum cryptography. The fastest known heuristic attacks on SVP are via so-called sieving methods. While these still take…

We study the Subset Balancing problem: given $x \in \mathbb{Z}^n$ and a coefficient set $C \subseteq \mathbb{Z}$, find a nonzero vector $c \in C^n$ such that $c\cdot x = 0$. The standard meet-in-the-middle algorithm runs in time…

Bl\"omer and Seifert showed that $\mathsf{SIVP}_2$ is NP-hard to approximate by giving a reduction from $\mathsf{CVP}_2$ to $\mathsf{SIVP}_2$ for constant approximation factors as long as the $\mathsf{CVP}$ instance has a certain property.…
