  • Grothendieck Inequalities for Semidefinite Programs with Rank Constraint
    THEORY OF COMPUTING, Volume 10 (4), 2014, pp. 77–105 www.theoryofcomputing.org Grothendieck Inequalities for Semidefinite Programs with Rank Constraint Jop Briët∗ Fernando Mário de Oliveira Filho† Frank Vallentin‡ Received May 4, 2012; Revised January 21, 2014; Published May 31, 2014 Abstract: Grothendieck inequalities are fundamental inequalities which are frequently used in many areas of mathematics and computer science. They can be interpreted as upper bounds for the integrality gap between two optimization problems: a difficult semidefinite program with rank-1 constraint and its easy semidefinite relaxation where the rank constraint is dropped. For instance, the integrality gap of the Goemans-Williamson approximation algorithm for MAX CUT can be seen as a Grothendieck inequality. In this paper we consider Grothendieck inequalities for ranks greater than 1 and we give two applications: approximating ground states in the n-vector model in statistical mechanics and XOR games in quantum information theory. ACM Classification: G.1.6, G.2.2 AMS Classification: 68W25, 90C22 Key words and phrases: randomized rounding, Grothendieck inequality, n-vector model, XOR games 1 Introduction V Let G = (V;E) be a graph with finite vertex set V and edge set E ⊆ 2 . Let A: V ×V ! R be a symmetric matrix whose rows and columns are indexed by the vertex set of G, and r be a positive integer.

Hardcover. 16.5 x 23.5 cm. 69.00 Euro Many partial differential equations (PDEs) arising in physics, such as the nonlinear wave equation and the Schrödinger equation, can be viewed as infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems. In the last thirty years, several existence results of time quasi-periodic solutions have been proved adopting a “dynamical systems” point of view. Most of them deal with equations in one space dimension, whereas for multidimensional PDEs a satisfactory picture is still under construction. An updated introduction to the now rich subject of KAM theory for PDEs is provided in the first part of this research monograph. We then focus on the nonlinear wave equation, endowed with periodic boundary conditions. The main result of the monograph proves the bifurcation of small amplitude finite-dimensional invariant tori for this equation, in any space dimension.

  • Grothendieck's Theorem, Past and Present UNCUT Updated and Still Expanding
    Grothendieck's Theorem, past and present UNCUT updated and still expanding... by Gilles Pisier∗ Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77843, U. S. A. and Universit´eParis VI Equipe d'Analyse, Case 186, 75252 Paris Cedex 05, France October 13, 2015 Abstract Probably the most famous of Grothendieck's contributions to Banach space theory is the result that he himself described as \the fundamental theorem in the metric theory of tensor products". That is now commonly referred to as \Grothendieck's theorem" (GT in short), or sometimes as \Grothendieck's inequality". This had a major impact first in Banach space theory (roughly after 1968), then, later on, in C∗-algebra theory, (roughly after 1978). More recently, in this millennium, a new version of GT has been successfully developed in the framework of \operator spaces" or non-commutative Banach spaces. In addition, GT independently surfaced in several quite unrelated fields: in connection with Bell's inequality in quantum mechanics, in graph theory where the Grothendieck constant of a graph has been introduced and in computer science where the Grothendieck inequality is invoked to replace certain NP hard problems by others that can be treated by “semidefinite programming' and hence solved in polynomial time. This expository paper (where many proofs are included), presents a review of all these topics, starting from the original GT. We concentrate on the more recent developments and merely outline those of the first Banach space period since detailed accounts of that are already avail- able, for instance the author's 1986 CBMS notes. Warning: Compared to the published one in Bull Amer.

  • IN the SOVIET FAR-EAST: HANNES MEYER’S SCHEME for the JEWISH AUTONOMOUS OBLAST of BIROBIDZHAN (1933-1934) Dr
    15th INTERNATIONAL PLANNING HISTORY SOCIETY CONFERENCE PLANNING THE CAPITAL CITY OF A «COMMUNITY OF FORTUNE» IN THE SOVIET FAR-EAST: HANNES MEYER’S SCHEME FOR THE JEWISH AUTONOMOUS OBLAST OF BIROBIDZHAN (1933-1934) dr. arch. AXEL FISHER Affiliation: Researcher, Faculty of Architecture – ULg (Liège) http://www.archi.ulg.ac.be Lecturer, Faculty of Architecture – ULB (Brussels) http://www.archi.ulb.ac.be Address: ave. des Cerisiers, 132/15 B-1200 Bruxelles BELGIUM e-mail: [email protected] // [email protected] ABSTRACT The creation of the first modern-era Jewish state, Birobidzhan, in early 1930s’ Soviet Union, can be considered as a curtain- raiser attempt to propose a socialist solution to the “Jewish Question” which, as a second thought, also had a part in the regime’s propagandistic maneuvers enacted to downsize the rising influence of Zionism in the country. Nevertheless, this experiment aroused a widespread enthusiasm and called for the participation of both Jews and non-Jews to this “small step in the realization of the Leninist policy on nationalities”. Among these stood Hannes Meyer (1889-1954), the Swiss-born Marxist architect and former director of Dessau’s Bauhaus (1928-1930), which – assisted by his “planning brigade” – offered its expertise to the Soviet Institute for Urban Planning (GIPROGOR) from 1930 to 1936 as chief-planner for Siberia and the Far East. Within this context, Meyer’s brigade was entrusted with the preparation of a scheme for the transformation of the small town of Tikhonkaya situated along the Trans-Siberian Railway into the new Capital of Birobidzhan.

  • The Survivors of the Holocaust in Occupied Germany
    This page intentionally left blank Life between Memory and Hope The Survivors of the Holocaust in Occupied Germany Zeev W. Mankowitz tells the remarkable story of the 250,000 survivors of the Holocaust who converged on the American Zone of Occupied Germany from 1945 to 1948. They envisaged themselves as the living bridge between destruction and rebirth, the last remnants of a world destroyed and the active agents of its return to life. Much of what has been written to date looks at the Surviving Remnant through the eyes of others and thus has often failed to disclose the tragic complexity of their lives together with their remarkable political and social achievements. Despite the fact that they had lost everyone and everything, they got on with their lives, they married, had children and worked for a bet- ter future. They did not surrender to the deformities of suffering and managed to preserve their humanity intact. Using largely inaccessible archival material, Mankowitz gives a moving and sensitive account of this neglected area in the immediate aftermath of the Holocaust. . is a senior lecturer at the Melton Centre for Jewish Education, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
