Title
Sub-Constant Error Probabilistically Checkable Proof of Almost-Linear Size
Abstract
We show a construction of a PCP with both sub-constant error and almost-linear size. Specifically, for some constant 0 PCP verifier for checking satisfiability of Boolean formulas that on input of size n uses $$\log\, n+O((\log\, n)^{1-\alpha})$$random bits to make 7 queries to a proof of size $$n·2^{O((\log\, n)^{1-\alpha})}$$, where each query is answered by $$O((\log\, n)^{1-\alpha})$$bit long string, and the verifier has perfect completeness and error $$2^{-\Omega((\log\, n)^{\alpha})}$$. The construction is by a new randomness-efficient version of the aggregation through curves technique. Its main ingredients are a recent low degree test with both sub-constant error and almost-linear size and a new method for constructing a short list of balanced curves.
