1. Beating a Random Assignment : Approximating Constraint Satisfaction Problems
Abstract : An instance of a Boolean constraint satisfaction problem, CSP, consists of a set of constraints acting over a set of Boolean variables. The objective is to find an assignment to the variables that satisfies all the constraints. READ MORE

2. Label Cover Reductions for Unconditional Approximation Hardness of Constraint Satisfaction
Abstract : Problem solving is an integral aspect of modern society and includes such tasks as picking the fastest route to work, optimizing a production line, scheduling computer tasks, placing new bus stops, or picking a meal from available ingredients.We study the hardness of solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs).

3. Hardness of Constraint Satisfaction and Hypergraph Coloring : Constructions of Probabilistically Checkable Proofs with Perfect Completeness
Abstract : A Probabilistically Checkable Proof (PCP) of a mathematical statement is a proof written in a special manner that allows for efficient probabilistic verification. The celebrated PCP Theorem states that for every family of statements in NP, there is a probabilistic verification procedure that checks the validity of a PCP proof by reading only 3 bits from it.

4. Hardness of Approximating Constraint Satisfaction Problems and Their Variants in Presence of Additional Structural Assumptions
Abstract : This thesis studies how the approximability of some fundamental computational problems is affected by some additional requirements on the structure of the inputs. The problems studied in this thesis belong or are closely related to constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs), which are considered to be one of the most fundamental problems in theoretical computer science.

5. Strong Partial Clones and the Complexity of Constraint Satisfaction Problems : Limitations and Applications
Abstract : In this thesis we study the worst-case time complexity of the constraint satisfaction problem parameterized by a constraint language (CSP(S)), which is the problem of determining whether a conjunctive formula over S has a model. To study the complexity of CSP(S) we borrow methods from universal algebra. READ MORE
