The good performance of the GW approximation for band-structure calculations in solids was long taken as a sign that the sum of self-energy diagrams is converged and that all omitted terms are small. However, with modern computational…

Optimizing parameters of Two-Prover-One-Round Game (2P1R) is an important task in PCPs literature as it would imply a smaller PCP with the same or stronger soundness. While this is a basic question in PCPs community, the connection between…
