A Nearly Tight Sum-of-Squares Lower Bound for the Planted Clique Problem

We prove that with high probability over the choice of a random graph G from the Erds-Rényi distribution G(n,1/2), the n[superscript o(d)]-time degree d Sum-of-Squares semidefinite programming relaxation for the clique problem will give a value of at least n[superscript 1/2-c(d/log n)1/2] for some c...
