Canonical Diffeomorphisms of Manifolds Near Spheres by Wang, Bing, Zhao, Xinrui

“…Abstract For a given Riemannian manifold $$(M^n, g)$$ ( M n , g ) which is near standard sphere $$(S^n, g_{round})$$ ( S n , g round ) in the Gromov–Hausdorff topology and satisfies $$Rc \ge n-1$$ R c ≥ n - 1 , it is known by Cheeger–Colding theory that M is diffeomorphic to $$S^n$$ S n . …”

Near Optimal Alphabet-Soundness Tradeoff PCPs by Minzer, Dor, Zheng, Kai Zhe

“…We show that for all > 0, for su ciently large prime power ∈ N, for all > 0, it is NP-hard to distinguish whether a 2-Prover1-Round projection game with alphabet size has value at least 1 − , or value at most 1/ 1− . This establishes a nearly optimal alphabet-to-soundness tradeo for 2-query PCPs with alphabet size , improving upon a result of [Chan 2016]. …”
